Everyone knows Bush was AWOL


I don't know that, and I researched it as well as I could online. See
www.warbirdforum.com/bushf102.htm for what is known on this
interesting subject.

(Readers have since drawn a couple items to my attention, which will
be added when I update the site on Feb 1. I'll be happy to take your
order as well, if you have anything documented to add.)


all the best -- Dan Ford

Along this same topic, notice the interesting article in this mornings Wall
Street Journal, 26 January, page A14 by Stephen Sherman, who points out that
before being elected, Mr. Kerry joined the Vietnam Veterans against The War,
and publicly "threw his medals at the capital building in protest", and that
now those same supposed medals are prominently displayed on his office wall
in Washington... hmmmm...

Maybe he threw them right into the window of what would one day become his
very own office! Pure coincidence! It could happen!

Imagine again, Jim. A Reuters poll today had Kerry leading Bush 48 to 45 per
cent (the rest undecided) if the election was held tomorrow. November's a
long way away, though.

There is no way to recognize what kind of plane, but it is definitely a

low

Well, there's at least one redeeming quality. However, I think he's
probably a highwinger in drag. I just can't imagine him in the

Whitehouse
at this moment in history any more than I could imagine Algore there.

This is pretty typical during an "out party" primary. All we've had on the
news for the last 4-6 weeks, and for the next 4-6 weeks, is nothing but
Democrat ads and speakers. There's a natural response to that showing in
the polls. It will melt back to reality as soon as coverage evens out once
again.

However, that showing is very atypical for the days following a State of The
Union address. I think the Bush message is no longer resonating with the
public. Bush has always been big on talk but small on results.

I don't think you're seeing the whole picture. Look at the world
strategically, and consider the changes taking place.

To go along with the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts.
And all in a war he was opposed to. I find that somewhat redeeming.


Except ther is no silver star.
