Things just aren't going well for Captain Codpiece today (and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy). Rundown courtesy of
AmericaBlog.
- Consumer Confidence Hits 7-Month Low - U.S. consumers turned more gloomy in October, beset by soaring energy prices, relentless violence in Iraq and the increasingly bitter end of the presidential election campaign.
- Washington Post tracking poll shows Kerry up by 1
- The Gropinator is distancing himself from the Idiot Dauphin, preferring instead to do the job people elected him to do. AmericaBlog quotes him telling the LI Times, "But I'm not going to hop around from state to state because the people did not elect me to do that."
- Remember a couple of weeks ago when Bush mouthpieces were all over John Kerry for saying that the Iraq War was costing over $200 billion? Well, the additional $70 billion of YOUR DOLLARS that Danny Dickwave is asking Congress for will push the total up to $225 billion.
- And finally, from the Hoist on his own Petard file, we have President Sock Crotch Puppet backsliding on the issue his maniacal faux-Christian hatemonger base regard as the most important one in this election, gay marriage and the Constitutional Amendment he touted so energetically not so long ago: "I view the definition of marriage different from [sic] legal arrangements that enable people to have rights. And I strongly believe that marriage ought to be defined as between a union between a man and a woman. Now, having said that, states ought to be able to have the right to pass laws that enable people to be able to have rights like others", sayeth the AWOL blow monkey puppet of the Cheney neocon death cult.
On the other hand, as long as people like
this show up at the polls, take nothing for granted.
I'm going to phone bank for Moveon.org tonight. What about you?
