Ted Rall's latest. It's funny, because I was just telling my friend Margie, a lawyer who lives in San Francisco, that if John Kerry wins on Nov. 2, as I expect him to, I will plan to move to the Bay Area within a year. But if "President" Bush gets a second term, I'll probably have to stay put in Sacramento -- it would be stupid to move to an even more expensive city if Bush gets another four years to continue to wage his class warfare on the middle class and the poor. It's pretty fucked up that our lives, in the United States and around the world, should be so influenced by the election of one person to one office.

"President" Bush looks for his mommy after John Kerry tore him to shreds in tonight's debate in Florida. Bush came across as defensive and uncomfortable throughout the debate -- even though he's been "president" for more than three years -- while Kerry came across as though he were president already.

Blood on the debate floor -- Bush's

I'm watching the first 2004 presidential debate.

John Kerry is skewering "President" Bush. My favorite part so far is how Bush claims that Iraq is the center of the war on terrorism.

Um, yeah, it is now.

It wasn't the center of the war on terrorism until the Bush regime illegally, immorally, unprovokedly and imperialistically invaded it against the world's wishes in March 2003. Now, Iraq is a terrorist factory.

You don't fucking create a problem and then act as though the problem were pre-existing, as though you had no hand in creating it.

Of course, those who steadfastly support Bush are lost causes. They don't support him from a foundation of facts and logic, but from their ignorance and fear, from their Nazi-like nationalism. 

Now, Bush is saying that Kerry's charge that the international coalition that the Bush regime cobbled together wasn't much of a coalition -- because it fucking wasn't -- is a slam against those countries that the Bush regime was able to strongarm into joining its bullshit coalition.

The Bush regime likes to try to do this, to try to morph a very valid criticism of the Bush regime into a criticism of another group.

The Bush regime has also claimed that those who have questioned Bush's "service" in the Texas Air National Guard have denigrated the service of everyone in the National Guard. The real issue, of course, is how Bush got into the Texas Air National Guard when 500 others were above him on the waiting list and how he got an honorable discharge when he went AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard.

Now, in talking about Iraq, of course, Bush is talking about how once you set course, you don't change course.

Hmmm. Let's see: The Bush regime invaded Iraq in March 2003. The Bush regime has had 18 months to restore order in Iraq. Instead of order in Iraq, we have the continued beheadings of Americans and other hostages and almost three dozen Iraqi children were killed in bombings just today. We have more than 1,000 American military personnel and thousands of Iraqis killed, many (if not most) of them killed not during the initial invasion, but in the bloody aftermath for which the Bush regime did not competently prepare. 

"Stay the course" in Iraq?

Yeah, that would be a great fucking idea because things there are going so swimmingly fuckingly well.

Bush now just stated that if you are Muslim, you can be free, that some believe that Muslims can't be free, but that he believes that they can be free.

Now, who the fuck ever said that Muslims cannot be free? Who?

No one said it, so Bush must believe it, no?

This is a variation of Bush's great proclamation a while ago that people whose skin is brown can govern themselves, although some believe that they cannot.

(Neither Bush nor any member of his regime has yet revealed who the fuck ever said that those whose skin is brown cannot govern themselves, so it has to make you wonder where they get these curious thoughts...)

OK, now the debate is over. I'll comment on the stylistic shit:

Bush came off as defensive, tentative, unsure of himself -- not presidential (but then again, I never accused him of being presidential).

John Kerry came off as sure of himself and commanding -- assertive, but not aggressive. This man is going to be the next president of the United States of America.
