Apparently, he doesn’t even know.

John Thune just released a killer campaign ad. You know the type. The kind that make you cringe (if you’re the opponent, that is.)

As you’ve heard John Kerry say during this campaign, he’d like to lead America back to the way things were in the 1990’s, when terrists were nothing more than a nuisance. Bill Kristol frames Kerry’s statement in this way:

“To pretend we can go back to the 1990s raises false hopes that will prove dangerous to the country. On the other hand, we can face our challenges, and carry out our duties–as President Bush has tried, with considerable success, to lead us to do.”

He’s right.

As you can see from this map, the city of PunditGuy has yet to be discovered. Attention pioneers – there’s still time to stake your claim. 🙂

I bet no one in the Kerry campaign thought they’d have to worry about this…

Charlie Brooker of The Guardian:

“On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod’s law dictates he’ll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr – where are you now that we need you?”

Write, email, fax, snail-mail – do whatever it takes. Tell The Guardian what you think of this.
