"You won't have Kerry to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference"
John F. Kerry, November 3, 2004

Vietnam Veteran Larry Purdy effectively dismantles Kerry on the latter's war views, dovetailing them effectively with present positions on Iraq. Be sure to read it to the end. I got mired in his assault-like questions early on, but he recovers nicely with thoughtful, provoking insights.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
