George Bush doesn't NEED to be a genius
08.25.04 (1:42 pm)   [edit]

If they insist on outsmarting themselves...


On Monday, down in Crawford, Tex., Dubya hitched up his jeans, sauntered out to a press conference and allowed as to how he'd be glad to help his worthy opponent. But, just to be fair, he said, let's shut down the negative campaigning by all 527 groups. Goodbye, Swifties. So long, MoveOn. Just say the word, Sen. Kerry, and we'll take all the nasty dollars out of politics.

  I kind of like this article for a couple reasons.   Firstly it describes the dangers of negative campaigning.   Secondly it takes a dig at all the people who blather on about how George Bush is a moron….   While it’s definitely a pro-Bush article it does so without pointlessly insulting his opponent. (with the exception of calling him a fish)

A Call for Bitter Partisan Attacks!!!
08.17.04 (12:23 pm)   [edit]

 


 Time for another attempted at a non-partisan  contest.   Today’s attempt will attempt to tap into the bitter creativity that lurks in all of us.   Ok..  here are the rules so lets get ready to sling some mud!!!


 


1)    & nbsp; No Profanity.


2)    & nbsp; The following words and terms are banned (taken from the first two pages of the politics selection on Tblog: Fascism(Fascist too),  War Crime(Criminal),  Neo-Con,  nut-job,  Traitor(treason etc.),  Liar(lying),  deserter, coward,  drunk(drunken etc),  flip-flop,  and Waffle(waffling).   ß wow long list.. just looking for creative attacks.


3)    & nbsp; You can’t use an adjective that has already been used.


4)    & nbsp; If you make an entry for Kerry you must make one for Bush,  other candidates are optional.


5)    & nbsp; Cannot depict a violent criminal act.  (no rape, murder, etc.)


6)    & nbsp; This is the part that will make it fun….(I hope)  All charges and allegations must be completely false to the best of your knowledge.


 


 


    Heh…. If  I get more then 5 entries I’ll give 25 Tbucks to the one I like the best.

 
Contest revisited.
08.10.04 (1:25 pm)   [edit]
Last week I presented a challenge in an effort to test a theory of mine. Since probably about 5 people actually saw it(ok more like a couple hundred based on my hit count), only a couple came up with answers. Additionally a couple more people told me they were unable to come up with an answer.

Therefore.. if you see this (obviously you are) please take the time to answer the challenge.. if you cannot come up with an answer (note you don't have to include all four canidates its primarly aimed at Bush and Kerry) please indicate that along with who you plan to vote for.

Thanks :D

Oh.. I plan to present the theory (which is probably well know but I want to test for myself) once I have a decent sample.
 
A Really Tough Political Challenge
08.05.04 (3:03 pm)   [edit]

 


 Its really simple.   Pick a category (policy descisions, beliefs, etc)  then come up with one totally positive thing to say about each of the Major presidential Canidates.   Also list who you plan to vote for in November.    & nbsp;
