Did the President Lie about Iraq?

Did the President Lie about Iraq?

This is a must-read about WMD's in Iraq. Specifically for you Deloney (AKA Mr. Meaner or the other half of Criminal Chargez).

I'll be surprised if anyone reading that article (besides Haze) will get to the truth before the end of the article.... (Don't skip ahead)

Leave me a comment if you did (you'll know what I am talking about after you read it)...

Oh so tired....

I am soooooo tired after a good and long weekend. I've been trying to sleep since 12:30 (PM) and it is now 4:45 and I have yet to sleep.....

AARGH

Oh yeah, I'm guessing the rams won't end up the 10-6 I predicted in the preseason. Mike Martz is getting worse as a coach rather than better....

No Time for Postin'

I've had a crazy, busy week... not much time for posting. I've been working a lot of hours this week and this weekend I have:

• My 10 year reunion (which I helped plan)
• A bachelor party (which I helped plan and at my house...)

So needless to say I probably won't be posting again this weekend.

Hopefully I'll start posting again early next week.

Have a great weekend!

Kerry Allies Tied to Forged Document Scandal

I just read this at gopusa.com:

Republican suspicions that CBS and the Kerry campaign shared information about the documents prior to the September 8 airing of "60 Minutes" got a boost from statements made by an adviser to the Massachusetts Democrat. Joe Lockhart, a press secretary for former President Bill Clinton who was recently added to the campaign, told the Associated Press that he contacted Bill Burkett about the documents at the suggestion of CBS producer Mary Mapes.

The reason the democrats did this is mentioned later in the article:

Lockhart added that during a brief conversation, Burkett offered advice "on how to deal with the Vietnam issue and the Swift boat" allegations.

Lockhart recalled that the former Guardsman said, "These guys play tough and we have to put the Vietnam experience into context and have Kerry talk about it
more."

You can find the whole article here.

Daily Rant

A few of things on my mind:

First, I know it's been a few weeks, but I just re-read Zell Miller's speech at the RNC. I loved it... If you didn't get a chance to hear or read it... do it here

Second, I am getting kind of tired of this CBS news story.. (by the way, did anyone notice the link to the speech was to CBS? That was intentional). The story here has nothing to do with President Bush's service, rather it has to do with Rather and him faking the news and not admitting it. That is why this is a story. But who among us didn't already know that the big networks (not including fox) are as liberal as you get and will do anything to slant the story towards the left.

In my humble opinion, people shouldn't care about Bush's national guard service. They should care about what he has in his 3+ years as president and his time as govenor. The same argument applies to Kerry, I don't care much about what he did in Vietnam... I care about what he has done in public service since.... And I agree that like the quote from JibJab "He has more waffles than a House of Pancakes." The only telling argument about his service to me is that he was talking about being president 30+ years ago... That's more than a little odd... Kerry reminds me of Aaron Burr, he is into politics and being a gentleman more than standing for anything.

Third, aren't liberals supposed to be the "nice people who love everyone", if you think that is the case you should check out this post at rightwingnews.com. These people are nutbags... Also, how come every time a liberal wants to hurl a comment at a conservative it is "nazi or white bread". The nazi one really gets me, this is the worst insult available. As a descendant of German Jews I can't believe that anyone would ever use the term Nazi as an insult.

Forth, I read this article by Dick Morris this morning at NYPost.com. The title is "Nobody Likes Him" and Morris is talking about Kerry. This article is based on the latest poll results and in the article he says:

But worse, the poll shows that Kerry must face a basic problem: His own voters don't like him very much.
The Fox News poll asked Kerry supporters if their vote for the Democrat could best be described as motivated by support for Kerry (41 percent) or by opposition to Bush (51 percent). By contrast, Bush voters emphatically say, by 82-13, that they are voting for the president rather than against the challenger.

Rams Win!! (ugly)

The Rams win ugly. I still think they could be 10-6, but jeez what an ugly win. I like Mike Martz, but it is hard to defend his lackadaisical attitude about turnovers and burnt up challenges. Doesn't it seem like everyone has the same complaints about game management every year?

Also, when did this offensive genius forgot how to call plays in the red zone? If we play like that for the rest of the season we won't be 10-6, we'll be 6-10.

One nice thing about the game yesterday is that Marshall Faulk looked like Marshal Faulk (cir. 2001). Same for Reverend Ike. That should bode well for the offense. Stephen Jackson still looks good, although I didn't like the fumble in his 1st carry of his pro career.

So at least we are 1-0 (and my fantasy teams are both 1-0)....

War St. Louis Best Sports Town in America...

UPDATE: My fantasy teams are 1-0 and 0-1. The monday night game cost me a win, I was up by 30 points and lost by 5 points.... aargh! The annoying thing is we both had players in the game, my guy scored 1.85 pts, and his scored 37

The WORST AD EVER!!!!!

This is by far the worst ad I have ever seen! I hope this is not real, because this is as tasteless as it gets:

New Look... done

The new look is posted, let me know what you think. As I mentioned in a previous post my art skills are coming back. And although that is true, I can't take any credit for the design of the site... It was designed for a dot net nuke contest. I just transfered the HTML over and made it work with the blog templates.

The skill I showed with this skin is making it work with the blog template, which proved to be pretty easy.... oh well.

Kerry's Daughters Booed...

I thought this was really funny...

http://www.drudgereport.com/kerrymtv.htm

Maybe that is bad sign for Kerry, that the biggest liberal media outlet (mtv / viacom), not really in terms of reporting, but in terms of the type of crap they put on tv, actually had an audience that would boo his daughters.

Come to think of it, do we really want these people on our bandwagon? Maybe they are all nader supporters.

New Skin Soon, Art Skills coming back slowly...

Along time ago (about 5 years), I used to do a little web site design. I was always better at the programming side of things, but I could hold my own on graphic design side. I was by no means great, but I could do alright creating and modifying sites and images.

Lately, I have had the chance to start doing some of this again (on the side). Now it's been 5 years and the comeback took a long time to get ramped up....

But I am getting better. I've been creating and modifying some skins (for our portal software and doing the same with pictures). Here are some recent examples:

http://www.engageportal.com/
http://www.reachstl.com
There is one more I want to show but can't because I can't give out the login and password. this one is by far my best work, nothing flashy, but very well coordinated.

Anywho... I am going to work on a new skin for this blog. We'll see how it goes... look for it soon.

Morris starting to come around... Matty Mo is Rick Vaughn

Matty Mo is starting to look more and more like his old self. Last nights game was the most dominating start we have had by a pitcher this season...

I was more than a bit nervous about matty earlier in the year. When he is throwing 88 or 90 instead of 95 he is a little bit easier to hit.

This season matty mo reminds me of Ricky Vaughn (AKA Wild Thing) from Major League 2... He starts throwing the "The eliminator and the humiliator to compliment his fastball, the terminator." And lo and behold what happens, ye olde terminator doesn't have the same zip anymore.... Then he (Rick Vaughn) starts throwing the fastball more often... and the velocity comes back... The same thing is happening this year. Remember how early in the season all we heard about was matt's changeup? He was throwing that and the two-seamer a lot.... And he lost his velocity. In the last three starts he starts throwing the 4-seamer more often and it's finally getting back up to the mid 90s. Funny coincidence.

Good quote from the Major League 2:
Vaughn: I got a new one I'll show ya...you get a piece of it, I'll let you name it. Vaughn pitches the ball and Parkman hits it out of the stadium.)
Parkman: I'd call it the masturbator.

Another Good Quote:
Harry Doyle: That looked like the Terminator, only slower. Maybe it was his Out-of-Stater! Or it could have been the Hibernator. That baby is definitely going away for the winter. Whatever for Vaughn, it might be see-ya-later, he's probably gonna become a spectator.

More on the Padres

Hey David Wells, The cards are very beatable I guess you proved that... (Sure...)

The Cards have played at such a high level this year, but didn't it seem like they really cherished this sweep? I heard Steve Kline this morning on the Fan repeating those quotes from Eaton and Wells and basically saying the Padres learned their lesson.

Who do they think they are?

I hope the Cards face the San Diego Padres in the playoffs. Apparently this team needs to be taught a lesson in humility. Here is a quote from the espn.com article about last nights game:

Eaton settled down after the early damage, allowing one baserunner per inning in his last five innings. In six innings, he gave up three runs on four hits with six strikeouts and three walks, but lost on the road for the first time since a 13-6 setback at Colorado on May 26. He wasn't that impressed with the Cardinals, though. "They have a good lineup," Eaton said. "I mean, I hate to burst their bubble but I think I faced a better one in New York against the Yankees."

Now, I'm not saying this is exactly like slamming the cards or anything... But it's not exactly respecting a team that has beat you two games in a row.

Here is a quote from David Wells (probably one of the only MLB players that I am in better shape then):

Veteran lefthander David Wells of the San Diego Padres says the Cardinals, who have baseball's best record at 86-44, are "very beatable.""We can go in there and play just as solid of baseball as they do," Wells told the San Diego Union-Tribune before the Padres departed for a three-game series at Busch Stadium.San Diego is one-half game behind the Chicago Cubs in the National League wild-card race. Wells, who has been on nine playoff teams, says the Padres "rank right up there; we stack up with anybody."

I mean it would be one thing if this team was rolling along with a record close to the Cards.... But the padres are 71-61... the Cards are 88-44. One other thing:

The Padres have a 2-18 record at Busch in the last five seasons
