He killed Bush. 52% said that Kerry won in one of the latest polls. 60% say they're now Kerry fans.

We're getting some good news out of Faux lately. O'Lielly is being sued and 65% said Kerry won in their poll.

That's utterly false. Stop reading the Wall Street Journal.

Or Massachusetts. I swear, people drip with hate when they say that name. They must be jealous that we have the best educational institutions and one of the highest per capita income averages.

Well, it is not just that one:

http://washingtontimes.com/national/...4754-1427r.htm

http://www.ncpa.org/ba/ba102.html

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/09/12/gun.ban.ap/

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5946127/


Note: I think the ban, though as mentioned in the articles above, rather ineffective and clearly imperfect, should been kept in place. But, payback to the right is hell.

Did y'all know that Lynn Cheney actually wrote a lesbian romance novel? I read an article about it a few months ago--sorry I don't have proof on me. I know it's hard to believe. But the book is out of print and the company wanted to bring it back (probably because of the issue of gay marriage), but Cheney didn't want it back in print because she said it wasn't one of her best works.

Those links simply spout more bull****. Where those studies go wrong is by saying "violent crimes." In reality, assault weapons are not used in "less than one percent of all violent crimes," they are used in less than one percent of gun crimes. That's an incredible difference.

There's an incredible chapter on it in Franken's last book and it details how the ban helped lower those types of crime by 50%.

No need to get snippy, dear. In fact, I thought I'd see you in a better mood after all these debates.

I know, Kerry whipped Bush's ass. But don't take it from me, just read the poll numbers.

And last night was Bush's best performance. He was able to halfway keep up with Gore, but clearly cannot with Kerry.

I know that - but I am just saying many experts disagree with you, blah blah
blah - again, I think the ban should have stayed in place.

It's called Sisters and they read excerpts of it on Air America from time to time along with Dild O'Reilly's soft porn book.
