Although probably one that John Kerry could have done without.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
The statement came after former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, an outspoken leader in the Islamic world, told The Associated Press on Thursday that he endorsed Kerry in the presidential race because he believed the Massachusetts senator would keep the world safer [...]
When hunger strikes, sometimes you have no choice but to play the hand you’ve been dealt. Such was the case tonight, when I stopped in a local KFC for some on-the-go grub, despite their craptacular “Kitchen Fresh Chicken / KFC What’s Cookin’” ad campaign. Considering the alternatives (Jack In The Box and Taco Bell), I [...]
From The New York Times via The New Republic:
In a morning meeting on Wednesday, Mr. Bremer warned the Iraqi leaders that they risked isolating themselves and their country if they continued to snub the United Nations. According to Iraqi and American officials, Mr. Bremer pointedly warned them of a “confrontation” with the United States if [...]
Despite Colin Powell’s statements to the contrary, it’s hard to argue that foreign policy has been a Bush Administration strong point. From the Iraq war to steel tariffs to broken treaties, it almost seems that the administration has gone out of its way to antagonize other countries.

From the Washington Post
“[Jessica] Simpson, whose verbal gaffes are also legendary, pulled another one Sunday visiting the White House, our sources say. The singer was introduced to Interior Secretary Gale Norton and gushed: ‘You’ve done a nice job decorating [...]
Forget hang gliding, rock climbing or hurling yourself out of an airplane. If you want a hobby that is sure to cause a lump in your throat, try being a club promoter. Over the past ten or so years, both Matt and myself have fallen victim to this particular obsession; and while Matt tends to [...]
Of all the story lines running through this election season, the strangest has to be the conversion of Howard Stern.
I don’t own a radio and don’t understand the appeal of strippers and pornstars on the radio, but Stern is a giant in the ratings. Last I checked, his audience was in the [...]
We first heard about Peter Lance and his book 1000 Years for Revenge when he was interviewed on KGO-AM. The idea that the tragedies of 9-11 were preventable was compelling, and as Lance made a very matter-of-fact case for just how preventable they were, our outrage rose along side that of the host.
