Living in Rhode Island I can honestly say that NOBODY up here in New England is excited about or even lukewarm towards Kerry. Many of my Union hack, A.B.B. neighbors will hold their noses and vote Kerry but I can almost guaruntee that W does better in Mass., RI, and Conn. than he did in 2000.

That was Courtney Love who said, "Yeah right, Al. Name a song."
Thanks. I had forgotten just which singer said it.
I thought it was a fantastic put-down. :=) Good for her.
It was the best slam I heard in the whole campaign. Good for her, indeed. ; )
Are you serious???
It's the color that attacts the communist traitor.
Slam!
What do you think of Kevin Brown breaking his hand by punching the wall? I never want to see him in pinstripes again, and I hope the Yankees void his contract.
How about Mariano giving up 4 hits and 4 runs in the 9th inning of a 7 - 0 loss today? The Yanks - who had the best record in baseball just a few short weeks ago - could very well end up not making the playoffs.
Good Lord! No wonder the ball hit the ground early. Look how he's holding it! He's never even played catch! A klutz like that could hurt himself donchaknow, especially if holding, pulling a pin and trying to throw a grenade.
lol.....yep, that grenade he threw (in that skinny nation in SE Asia) probably traveled about 20 feet. ....tops.
Now We Know!
See link on post 22
Date on the article should be July 26, 2004. Thought it sounded familiar. Kerry used the ladies tees and still couldn't reach the plate. Loser.
Odds are that is precisely what happened. His girlie-boy athleticism prevented his grenade toss from traveling a safe distance, and the shrapnel he got in his ass as a result got him a purple heart.
Well…..sometimes I hate to admit it but I'm from Massachusetts. One day our junior Senator sKerry decides to take a road bike ride. You know he owns a Serotta, a $2,500+ custom made rich man's bike.
Anyway he's riding through my hometown of Concord, hits a patch of sand over near Walden Pond, veers into the oncoming traffic lane, barely misses a car and then falls off his bike, scraping up his leg.
Sound like a klutz to you?
Picture him palming that baseball, now picture him palming a grenade that same way with that same stupid smile. Shrapnel in the leg? makes complete sense now, doesn't it?. It's no wonder he can't release his military records. Max Cleland and he both sustained self-inflicted grenade injuries! Can you imagine if that truth came out?
Yep that's our junior Senator sKerry!
"Most recently, Kerry has had to backpedal on the circumstances surrounding his first Purple Heart. Kerry has described the action on Dec. 2, 1968, for which he received a Purple Heart as his "first intense combat." The Swift Boat veterans say Kerry came under no enemy fire that day and that his injury, such as it was, resulted from the ricochet of a grenade fired by Kerry himself."
How satisfying! The link on post 22 explains it all!!!
When the Yanks first got him, I instinctively penciled Brown in for about 10-12 wins -- figuring he'd implode or get hurt anyway.
The man is devoid of any discipline or common sense.
The way I see it, being a "Yankee" means having discipline. Self-control. Courage. Focus. Execution...
So far, too many of THIS year's Yanks fail in those expectations.
The few exceptions are: El Duque, Mo, Flash, Jeter, Sheffield, Matsui, Clark, and Cairo.
The rest are running on "E", mediocre, just plain incompetent, or STICK-A-FORK-IN-THEM.
