#1 What did you expect, Fred? The MSM can't possibly approve of anything that might help Bush.

Or be good for the Oppressed Brown People.â¢

But on Saturday, Afghans who braved the threat of violence to cast ballots were just happy to vote.

"I am old, but this vote is not just for me. It is for my grandchildren," said Nuzko, 58, a widow who stood in line at a Kabul voting station. "I want Afghanistan to be secure and peaceful."

That's the bottom line. That's the real story. I'm just surprised the MSM reported it at all.

It must be killing the Lefties.

#2 Don't forget to place blame where it belongs: the UN idiots are the ones that screwed up the ink in those precincts.

#3 Nonsense, OS - the UN is never at fault. ;-)

#4 Mickey Kaus calls it the Feiler Faster Principle. So, last week before the debate, there were a lot of negative news affecting Bush - Bremer remarks, Rummy on Al-Queda/Iraq, Duefler report, etc. But consider a week closer to the election you get - Afghan elections (who'd have tought eet?), Howard wins big-time, NYT cover story on Kerry's wealth and blue blood upbringing that he is trying to disguise, etc. Look for Bush to move up in the polls this week.

#7 A friend of mine who doesn't "do" the Internet told me something the other day that I'm still laughing about. He said he'd learned over the years what the initials "AP" stood for: "A$$hole Product". I can't find a thing anywhere online that would truly contradict him.
