Bush made a big deal about Kerry making Ted Kennedy "The Conservative Senator from Massachusetts" last night in the last debate, but the fact remains that W's "borrow and spend and spend and spend" policies have been way more detrimental to the country than anything resembling the old Republican shibboleth of "Tax n' spend libruls."

Read it and weep, folks: here are the newest figures on the budget deficit. Add to this the fact that W hasn't gotten the jawbone out yet to use against his Saudi buddies regarding oil prices, we're still hemmorhaging jobs, his record is only getting worse and worse. He can run, but he can't hide.

I am hoping that the large percentage of young adults who have no landline telephones are skewing the numbers. I'm hoping that the book-cooking going on at places like Gallup is also concealing the truth of what is really going on in the Body Politic.

It doesn't hurt also that Kerry got the broom out yesterday and swept W's sorry ass. 3 for 3, plus a nice showing for Edwards against Cheney The Hutt.

I am still hoping against hope for a November 2nd Surprise. Please. If you haven't registered and there's still time, REGISTER. If you have registered, GET OFF YOUR ASS AND VOTE NOVEMBER 2nd. If you haven't and don't intend to, SHAME ON YOU.
