Fit and working again

Back at ya like that rash you got that won't go away. A refreshing weekend, with only one episode of waking up during the night to the sounds of my own utterly horrified screaming.

I've got a lot of stuff I want to write about, but work has been unrelenting this past week, and shows no signs of...well, of relenting. Plus, we're getting Madden '05 tonight, and St. John brought me two 30 packs of Old Style. Needless to say, blogging may be light for a while.

Until I sober up, and as a quick whippet of info for my loyal readers (all 12 of you), I wanted to point out that President Bush has denounced the anti-Kerry "swiftvets" ads that have been appearing recently. The swiftvets' ads are produced by a Republican 527 committee (so named for the section of the U.S. code regulating their existence), and Bush wants 'em all gone:

In Texas at his ranch, Bush said, "I don't think we ought to have 527s," a reference to the outside groups that have poured millions of dollars over the past year into attack ads. Bush himself has been a main target of ads costing some $60 million.

Bush said all of the ads should be stopped. "That means
that ad," he said, referring to the anti-Kerry ad, "and every other ad."

Of course, these 527s and their ads are a direct result of McCain-Feingold, the disastrous campaign finance "reform" bill passed into law last year.

Bush is on the right side of this issue, but is on somewhat shaky ground anyway. He failed to veto the law when it came to his desk, and now that boat-loads of anti-Bush groups and individuals have popped up in McCain-Feingold's wake, he's finally seeing his folly.

Further, I think it's disingenuous for Kerry and his supporters to support Michael Moore, ACT and MoveOn.org while simultaneously condemning the swiftvet ads. A 527 is a 527, regardless of whose side it's on.
