Tick...Tick....Tick...Tick.......George W Bush looks at his clock..

[kentuck]

Time is slipping away. There are now less than 100 days 'til election. We are now into double digits. It's time to get Rove and Karen together for a strategy session. We need to drive up the "negatives" on Mr Kerry. And we need to do it soon. Otherwise, we are going to find ourselves right up on election day and behind in the polls and we'll all be looking for another job. And we need to get our friends in talk radio to turn it up a notch. Don't pull any punches until we kick htis guy to the ground and then keep on kicking. Now watch me ride my bike down this hill....

1. meanwhile, Rummy & Wolfie get down to some serious planning

the kind of plans that don't turn up on W's desk...

3. That's what I'm afraid of

Smirk and Snarl don't seem too concerned about their falling numbers. Me thinks the fix is in. I hope I am just being paranoid.

4. my current pet paranoid theory...

quick strikes on Iranian nyukular installations a couple weeks before the election in the hopes of a rally-round-the-reject effect.

Don't think we can pull of a full scale invasion until next year, and it would need a draft or a stabilized (ha!) Iraq... though Smirk sure can decide to act "decisive" and whack a few warehouses.

They ratcheted up the propaganda recently, and Krauthammer was babbling some hooha about liberals "not wanting to sacrifice for a War on Iran" or somesuch.

I'm sure the PNAC brigade is lobbying hard for it... but what does Rove think, I wonder... boy genius ain't lookin' so bright these days.

6. Or they actually want to lose since they don't know how to get out of

Iraq or how to get the economy going again. They know they can't get away with cutting taxes again.

7. They went to a lot of trouble

To steal the election the first time, I don't think they have any plans on being 1 termers. Smirk wants to show Poppy that he is a bigger man than he is, what better way than "winning" a second term.

2. Betcha it's a digital watch. That old-timey circle thingy is confusing.

5. 98 days

until November 2nd

8. All I ask for is a legitimate election on 11/2

and control of the House. I can dream.
