Feeling Kinda Khaki....
Nothing like combining shades of black, grey, sand and khaki to capture a nice silhouette. The color shot of the Santa Monica pier didn't work. Too much mist from the ocean and a little glare from the setting sun. I could have used my macro lens, and gotten some clearer shots, but was in a hurry to get to the boardwalk and listen to the KCRW "new band" showcase.
"AM" Band - Good, Folky Rock Stuff...
I sure like the beach!
Yesterday's blog chronicled my continuing befuddlement about the 2004 Presidential Election: Why would anyone vote for Bush?
Sorting through today's Blognews, still fixated on the CBS fact checking gaff btw, I ran into several other forum discussions which answer the question pretty well.
deviantArt's got some pretty intelligent comments... Re: Why should i vote for bush
No real missionaries for Bush here, interesting ...CIO's Sound Off Forum Re: Why Vote For Bush
I've been searching via google, hotbot, and yahoo for forums addressing the question and keep getting sites urging people to vote against Bush. Take a look.
If you scroll through the sites, about the fourth page or so, the Republicans and Conservatives archive reprints the Ed Koch speech at the RNC. I'd have to say Ed Koch probably gets it right when he says that people want a president who will not back down to terrorists.
Good enough reason. Really. Stand up to terrorists! They want to kill me and mine, and it's time to take out the garbage and kill them and theirs. Right?
I'm one of those "think peace" people so I'm a lost cause as far as supporting a government which unilaterally "takes out the garbage" whenever a rumor surfaces. That's the Bush foreign policy that Koch loves so much.
So, is Bush better at standing up to terror than Kerry? So far, Bush has proven to be ready to bankrupt the US, and soon the world if our deficit spending isn't controlled, to fight terror. I have no doubt that Kerry will fight terror also, especially with a Republican House and Senate prodding his ass. So they're even on this issue.
The big question is who is better at standing up to the right terrorist? My money's on Kerry. Bush has already shown a pig headed resistance to the truth. His stubborn miscalculations + a lot of firepower = unnecessary death.
Assuming that Kerry will be elected, if he follows the Bush formula for defeat above, he'll be gone in a NY minute.
Anyway, it's a good day to think khaki.
