Kelly's trying to make John Hall guilty by party affiliation for John Kerry's ambiguously misstated joke.  

Aiming to turn the Kerry gaffe into political ammunition, Rep. Sue Kelly, R-Katonah, said her Democratic opponent, John Hall, needed to condemn the remarks. "It displays volumes about Hall's real attitude toward our military and those who are serving our country that he has yet to utter a single line critical of Senator Kerry's words," she said yesterday.

If any fellow canvasers or phone bankers encounter anyone who brings this up, or if this idea appears on Hall campaign management radar, consider this.

Republican incumbent Sue Kelly wants to pay you $100 to get video of someone kicking over her signs.  Sounds like fun.

We in the 19th district might recall the harsh weather last Saturday.  Rain was blowing sideways.  It actually kept me from canvassing but I did some phone banking instead.  We have a lot of roadside signs put out by the various campaigns in the area.  A lot of them were blown over by the weather on Saturday.  Therefore, Democrats are to blame, according to Sue Kelly.  Her pathetic campaign has taken up the assinine issue of holding her opponent's campaign responsible for the signs getting knocked over by the wind.  This is from the "action" section of her tacky website.  

Imagine it's true that someone has hacked Lieberman's site.  Then that would be a shame.  But you'd think his campaign would be able to fix it by now.  At least, Joe could get a basic campaign site up and running by now at the joe2006.com address.  It's kind of basic this day in age to have a functioning website for campaigns.

Maybe Osama's no longer a real danger, although I'm very skeptical.  That's entirely no excuse to abandon the fervent prosecution of the man who committed the crime of the century.

I'm sure most of you remember when Dick Cheney said this:

it's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on November 2nd, we make the right choice. Because if we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again, that we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States, and that we'll fall back into the pre-9/11 mind set if you will, that in fact these terrorist attacks are just criminal acts, and that we're not really at war.

Bin Laden is assumed by a sweeping consensus to be guilty of leading a conspiracy of the murder 2985 American citzens, mostly civilians.  During the period prior to 9/11/01, America was not at war.  In an immediate sense, the attack was unprovoked.  In a way in which one might see the attack as provoked, the attack was uncivilized, inapporpriate, unwarranted, inefficient, psychopathic, and illegal.

As the oldest of three children in a hardworking American family, I
have
completed my four year college education and am currently living with
my
parents again and working in order to start to pay down my student
loans
while, hopefully, saving enough money for grad school... someday.  My
sister, the youngest in the family, is celebrating her high school
graduation; excited to begin persuing her college education.
