The AB Four

4. The site Peace Garden has an interesting post about who's God really talking to. George Bush or Pat Roberson...hmmm, that's a tough one...:

Interesting! Pat Robertson claims that God told him that the war in Iraq would become a problem. But God told Bush that everything will be great. CNN.com - No casualties? White House disputes Robertson comment - Oct 20, 2004 So who is lying?
... I always knew God loved Monaco the best.

3. Baldilocks continues the Kerry hate campaign by implying that Teresa Heinz-Kerry's statements about Laura Bush had something to do with the lost of her husband and the fact she doesn't her husband to be president:

Her first husband, Senator John Heinz, died a fiery, horrifying death. It’s very obvious that she loved the guy.

Her late husband’s friend, Senator John Kerry, comes to her emotional rescue and marries her, but he’s not the man her husband was. Then her second husband does something that—from appearances—she really doesn’t want him to do: run for president.

In that run, Mrs. Kerry has to be constantly inundated with the reminder of what she has lost, personified by her husband’s opponent and his wife: a man and a woman who obviously love each other.

Could the pain of that loss be the origin of this statement?

...For all her billions, Mrs. Kerry can’t bring back the man, who, from her own and all other accounts, was the love of her life. And she knows that.

Is she envious of Mrs. Bush? I don’t know, but I do suspect that Mrs. Kerry has a hard time watching the Bushes interact with each other. I suspect that--during the third presidential debate--she had an even harder time listening to the president talk about falling in love with his wife, while her own husband sang the praises of his mother.

My first reaction after reading Ms. 'lock's post was what is she talking about? I then read it again and thought 'What the fuck' is she talking about?!? The fact that Laura Bush quit her gig hanging out with the librarians (who, by the way, HATE her husband's policies) to nurse a failing drunk back to sobriety is not anything to be jealous about. It's just another example of cheap labor conservatives hypocrisy. Let's see, Hillary should leave her husband because he cheated on her but Laura is a saint because she stayed with her cocaine using drunk of a husband. Paleeze.

I try to stay out of people's personal lives. Ms. Heinz -Kerry's relationship is none of my business. She's campaigning for her husband,for God's sake. But Republicans, in typical, hypocritical, fashion, want to preach about the government staying out of people's lives then tell you who to fuck and how you should feel about your husband.

Many claimed they were moved by Baldilock's post. I was, to0...to vomit.

Brand Noise reports:Kimora Lee Simmons has designed a toy Mercedes Benz which goes well with the phone she designed...The phone starts at around $600.00. The Benz is a tad bit less..

1.Defense Tech Blog explains why NASCAR is more than a bunch of white people waiting for a car crash: U.S. military chiefs want their crews to get quicker and better at maintaining weapons systems. So they're turning to NASCAR for ideas, National Defense magazine says.

Not only are NASCAR technologies making their way into military vehicles, but the pit stop is becoming a model for how to service equipment more efficiently.

A case in point is a novel windshield coating — used on NASCAR race cars — that is now being applied to military helicopters.

The Army has adopted pit-stop maintenance for a missile-defense launcher that is now in development. [They're doing the same thing with tanks, too.] The Navy, for its part, is designing the flight deck of its next-generation aircraft carrier, the CVN 21, so that aircraft can be refueled and loaded with bombs in pit stop areas, as opposed to having to move the aircraft around the deck.
