Dear John

George Bush just sent the Dear John letter on behalf of the American People.

I'm going to just quietly wipe the tears from my eyes, savor the fine cigar I've just put flame to and bask in the warm glow of the speech and the Maker's Mark, which in this instance, pales in comparison.

There simply is no comparison.

Several impressions from the speech and from the convention.

First, President Bush has more genuine presence in the tip of his little finger than Lurch has in his entire being.

Now, the talking heads of the alphabet media scramble furiously to spin this somehow into some sort of a gaffe of W's.

They will fail, and miserably.

Come the morning, we'll see all manner of literary desperation from the mainstream dead-tree, broadcast and cable media, gasping like oxygen starved catfish for any semblence of credibility to lend to the Kerry campaign fiasco.

But it's done, really.

The Kerry Kampaign is but a walking corpse, not unlike the caricture of Lurch which he so strongly resembles.

Sometimes life does bring justice, and that on occassion waxes poetic.

G'bye, Dear John. And it's not that we hardly knew you.

It's that we did.

Very well said my friend. And if you could stomach the Kerry speach...now *THERE* was a train wreck! If Bush hangs tough for the next few weeks before the debates.....he just has to get Kerry to spool up and it is all over. Unless, Kerry explodes first.

Enjoy the rich flaver of your sipping stock and exotic leaf.

Yes, we know him all too well. *shudders* Thank God it seems people are finally noticing Kerry is who he is.

Vote, vote, vote in November!! No time to coast, no time to think it is all wrapped up. Just as GWB has to hang tough, so too the rest of us!

Wonderful piece of writing Jim. Thank you.

Write him off, George, he's a loser.

Hope JoKe has been keepig informed on the abuse and murder of the women and children in Russia. These murdering bastards are who he would engage in a more "sensitive" war.

Leave us alone John, before you and your kind get us all killed.
