Eugene Volokh up on the same bizarre sentence I did in Slate’s review of Team America: World Police:
[W]hen Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, and Janeane Garofolo moronically align themselves with Kim Jong-il and start wielding automatic weapons against Team America, well . . . Leftist actors learned from Vietnam not to cozy up to dictators: Jane Fonda, one of the best actresses of her generation, hasn’t worked in more than a decade.
I was too lazy to blog it, but now Eugene has, and I don’t have to…

Captain Ed Returns
You know you’re a blog-addict
I had no access to the Internet, and thanks to the activities this weekend, not much access to the news, either. It was so bad that I called my mom (Vayapaso) late Friday night and had her read the debate analyses from the other Northern Alliance blogs to see how it went…
Welcome back on line, Captain! Now get back to work.
Happy Blogiversary to Captain Ed
Happy to Captain Ed!
I’m a latercomer to Ed’s corner of the blogosophere, but it’s now on my daily read list. It should be on yours.
Fine, Scully’s hot, I admit it
Somebody please sedate Treacher. He’s overstimulated again.

GPS Stalking?
Quick thought: It’s late, and I’m heading to bed, but story about a man who “stalked” a woman “with GPS” seems technically wrong to me.

Kerry on Cuba
At what point is it reasonable to start considering that a candidate may not simply have a tendency to stretch the truth, but may actually be a liar?
How stupid does he think we are; these things can be checked; etc. You know the drill.
Strengthen the Good: Charley Relief
Better late than never: Please lend your support to Gulf Coast Community Foundation Of Venice Hurricane Charley Disaster Relief Fund, Strengthen the Good‘s first selected charity.
Kerry Less Trusted By Voters
Holy crap! Rasmussen reports today that now leads Kerry for the first time in weeks. But that’s not the interesting report. Check out their other finding this week:
August 25, 2004–Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely Voters believe that George W. Bush is more honest and trustworthy than John Kerry. A Rasmussen Reports survey conducted in advance of the Republican National Convention found that 39% believe Kerry is the more honest and trustworthy candidate.
Isn’t that, you know, hugely bad for the Kerry campaign?

Kerry’s The New Soldier
Anybody want a PDF version of Kerry’s 1971 tract New Soldier?
Somebody is e-mailing it to bloggers at random, which is kind of interesting in itself…
Kerry FEC Complaint MIA
Still no sign of the actual, allegedly filed FCC complaint over at by the way. Wonder if this has anything to do with it…
Swift Ship Veterans
New evidence from Swift Ship Veterans For Truth: was altered; Greedo didn’t shoot first!

Kerry’s FEC Complaint
I’ve been trying to find the actual text / PDF of Kerry’s FEC complaint against Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, but so far no luck — it doesn’t appear to be online yet.
But on a similar note, it is worthwhile to review a very similar complaint filed in March by the GOP against the Kerry campaign for illegal coordination with 527’s . The GOP has kindly all their documents online (yet another reason why GOP=good, Dems=bad, I guess), including a PDF of the actual, 67-page complaint itself. It has tons of information, including sections like “Individual Participants in the Soft Money Conspiracy”, which lists names of people like Harold Ickes, Steve Rosenthal, and Bill Richardson as key points-of-connection between Kerry and the 527’s.
