Some Happy News

It may not last long for the time being but it's nice to see now.

Also, Kerry becomes the first candidate in the season to dominate the Rassmussen Poll for over two days in a row (he's now on day 6, and the numbers are remaining essentially constant).

Flip and Flop

If you're getting mighty tired of apparently the only platform that the Bush-Cheney campaign is running on, namely that Kerry is a flip-flopper (God knows they wouldn't want to run on Bush's record, whatever that might be), and you're sick of hearing your conservative fill-in-the-blank (friends, parents, co-workers) say the same annoying thing, this article by Arianna Huffington should be a nice antidote.

Happy Bastille Day!

That's right, its time to tell those Francophobes where they can stuff their Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast. I love the French, French food (including wine, bread and cheese of course), French books, and French movies (not all French pop music by a long shot but that's another story) and in honor of France I highly recommend the following two movies: The Dinner Game (the French title, Le Diner de Cons actually means, roughly, Dinner with Assholes) and Before Sunset, which is yes an American movie but takes place in Paris. (It's also a sequel so make sure you see the phenomenal Before Sunrise first.)

More on the great news on the political front later...
