Hunter S. Thompson, we love you

Immediately after the first debate ended I called Muhammad Ali at his home in Michigan, but whoever answered said the champ was laughing so hard that he couldn’t come to the phone. “The debate really cracked him up,” he chuckled. “The champ loves a good ass-whuppin’. He says Bush looked so scared to fight, he finally just quit and laid down.”

Bush's health deteriorating or October Surprise in progress?

I usually don’t quote someone else’s blog entry in its entirety, but this is a short one.

So Bush is returning to Crawford on Saturday, or so his schedule says. Atrios isn’t the only person who finds it odd that the President is taking a day off 9 days before the General Election. Speculation in the blogosphere leans toward:

A) Bush’s health continues to deteriorate, and he needs rest/treatment, or
B) This is the October surprise, and Bush will show up on Saturday in either Iraq or Afghanistan.

What do you think?

Sox win?

Of course they do. In a crazy universe where every corporate event is controlled not by the laws of physics but the laws of profit, series games run to the 7th game if at all possible and the grand architect of marketing arranges that the world series would be Texas vs. Massachusetts on an election year that pits Bush against Kerry.
