Bits & Pieces

 

With bits and pieces from this reporter’s notebook.

Da-deet-da-deet-deet....It’s one thing for Poppy to have kept his son from going to Vietnam by getting him a place in the Texas Air National Guard, but it’s quite another for The Bush Boy to screw that up as well. Taxpayers ponied up a million bucks to train him how to fly a jet fighter but didn’t get squat for the investment when Bush-Lite effectively went AWOL.

Da-deet-da-deet-deet....A local television news reporter spoke with a Bay Area woman who had lost a son in Iraq. No doubt reflecting the feelings of thousands of parents with children in uniform who watched the Bush Bimbettes at the Republican convention, she said this regarding President Bush: "I think he was really brave with other people’s children."

Da-deet-da-deet-deet....Laura Bush has been promoting Second Harvest food distribution in her own Stepford-frigid way on television. Dunno if they count those as political commercials, or for whose side they count. Considering how some people say she’s been abused by her husband, she should support Kerry.

Da-deet-da-deet-deet....Speaking of lightweights, Jesse Jackson hasn’t been spending much time in the limelight of late, and that’s probably a good thing. He seems to have lost his edge. At a recent press conference, he even mangled the name of our Secretary of War.

Da-deet-da-deet-deet....Finally, on a lighter note, some 20 Farmingdale, Long Islanders protested outside their local Home Depot recently because Playboy magazine featured a spread of "The Women of Home Depot." Charging the pictorial was pornography, the group claimed the store was responsible, even though the employees self-selected, were shot on their own time, and none was from Farmingdale. Disinclined to endorse the protest, one shopper commented, "There's enough other problems in the world."

And that’s SetonnoteS...I’m Tony Seton.
