Hey, hope you feel better soon.

Speaking of Nyquil... that's how I know if I'm really sick. I hate the stuff with a passion, but I know it will make me sleep. (Day-quil is evil and entirely pointless stuff... anyone who takes Day-quil is NOT SICK.) If I am miserable enough to take Nyquil I know for a fact that I'm not just being a whiner and making my family miserable for nothing. At the moment that I pick up the bottle for my next dose, gag, and put it back in the medicine cabinet unopened, I know I'm better again.

Get well quick.

I saw James Carville as a guest with Jay Leno tonight, Elvis Costello as a guest with Jimmie Kimmel.

The lesson: It works out to about the same elevation of the human condition for James Carville to sing as for Elvis Costello to give instruction in political theory.

In re: "Global Vote." Much like the Manchester Guardian letter campaign, the poll this year showing that Kerry wins easily if the vote were worldwide, or the earlier poll showing that the rest of the world prefers a weakly-led America. (And yes, those last two things ARE closely related.)
They will take their silly vote, the media will trumpet it in the hopes it will change minds (after all, HOW can we dull 'Murricans not be influenced by the much more intelligent and sophisticated Euros, etc?)then the American voters will either ignore it, or vote the opposite way out of sheer independent bull-headedness. In any case, at best (for them) there will be no effect on the results of the election. At worst (for them) they will change the tallies by a few hundred for W.

Marty Beckerman is a highly opinionated, foulmouthed, equal opportunity political trashtalker.
Don't miss this chance to see their candidate, and yours, verbally assaulted. Rated X.

Steve, grow up. Put the Nyquil away and make yourself a couple of hot toddies. Boil some water, pour it over a shot of brandy, honey and add nutmeg on top. Repeat as necessary. Even if your cold doesn't go away, you won't care.

Well I hope we don't all catch it from clicking on this blog.....

Actually Stephen... I was on the varsity debate team. Although Kerry probably wins on debate form... Bush has him on substance. Debate team for Bush!

Try a week-long viral bronchial infection that won't go away. I can tell you all kinds of stories about daytime television...

I prefer some herbal (decaf) tea with the brandy and honey. This way you can use cheap brandy. And take a benadryl too. Guaranteed to let you sleep.

The Cardinals upcoming World Series win will be the first of two bitter disappointments for Kerry in a span of less than a week.

Bad news -- the 'Stros stunk it up and aren't going to the World Series...

Pls get better quick or stop taking brain numbing medication cum brandy until after you tell us what in the world the all the numbers on the blog on efficient markets mean.

I get it that Bush is doing well and has been basically in the same place since last February, but I don't get how these they arrived at these numbers.

It's clear that leaving Iraq now would result in chaos, instability, and the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis. Therefore John Kerry wouldn't do it.
Hey, guys. Back here. About thirty years.
He did it once already--or would have if he could have--supporting exactly the same thing in Southeast Asia you say he won't do now.
And since he shows no sign of thinking it was a bad idea then, why should we think he thinks doing the same to Iraq wouldn't be equally dan and finedy?

Global vote?

Global email address harvester would be more appropriate. Any dolt who provides this outfit with a legit email address deserves all the liberal spam he gets.

I know you're sick and all, but to link someone to a site with pictures of Madeleine Albright, before he's had his breakfast? C'mon, dude.

Damn Freedom-Dude. Thanks for the heads-up after we already got our heads up Global's.......uh, marketing scheme.

My hubby is sick, and so is my accountant. Both men are equally as whiny, so I am getting it from all sides. Now you. Not that I don't want everyone to feel better. But if you "men" would take something (I am pushing the green tea, Zicam and vitamins), then you would feel better!! My recipe for the best way to get rid of the stuffy head syndrome: Hot bath (or shower), followed IMMEDIATELY by a tall glass of your favorite carbonated and caffine-laden beverage with a couple of fingers of bourbon as a chaser (GOOD bourbon). Steam clears the head, caffine and carbonation adds to the effect, bourbon kills whatever lingers. Repeat as needed...

Great stuff. I read one blogger today who was happy to note that a Nickelodeon kids' poll favored Kerry. I asked him why anyone should care.

Oh, and NyQuil is great. I was coming back to the States after a year in Korea, and I wasn't feeling up for the 14 hour flight from Okinawa to Seattle. Half a bottle of NyQuil later, I was sleeping like a baby, and didn't wake up till we were over Washington's coast.

Stephen,
i've been taking zink for 5 years
now,about 2-3 times a week.i am
a smoker and got sick at least
once a year. within these past
5 years,2 colds..one lasted 2 days
and the other around 6.
hope you get better.

I thought that I was the only one that loved Nyquil martinis. I'm a gin guy myself, never mixed it with vodka. I find that if you just substitute Nyquil for vermouth, sticking with your preferred proportions, your troubles just kind of ease away. Kinda like a Flaming Moe, but with less risk of injury.

How long before we hear that Teresa marrying Kerry was actually Karl Rove's idea?

Stephen, A little humor is good for the sick. These pics and captions are slight modifications to 'real' apology pics intended for Sadamm by the grief stricken, GoTo:

" 'the sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads -- they all adore him. They think he's a righeous dude.' Pretty much everyone but the Debate Club."

I bet Kerry has the French Club and the German Club.

Take care, Stephen.

You're not alone. Just about everybody in the Cardinals territorial area called in "sick" with some kind of hangover, er, cold today.

I recommend rum and roses lime juice--it may not cure your cold but after you drink it, you won't care. By the way, my cold lasted for 15 days so stock up on lots of rum.

Hey, Steve, I just got off the phone with my mom in St. Louis. She's says everybody there is very excited about the Cards. Of course in St. Louis, unlike Boston, excitement doesn't include rioting and killing people.

Theresa, please, DON"T SHUT UP!! The more you talk, the better for GW!!

Oops! The big scoop is Security Council members deny meeting Kerry.
