Vernon Robinson for Congress
I doubt America has ever seen or will ever again see the likes of this candidate for the US House of Representatives. He's being called the second coming of Jesse Helms -- except he's black!
For an idea of what Robinson's message is all about, check out this radio ad. You could call it "hard-hitting" I suppose.
All I have to say is WOW.

Bush/Dukakis '88 redux
Yup. It's happening...
UPDATE: Apparently the Democrats are shafting Dukakis at this convention, in his very own state no less! (Hat tip: Paul at The Shotgun.)
UPDATE II: Seems poor Mr. Dukakis is the Rodney Dangerfield of the Democratic Party. He's nowhere to be seen. In my scattered viewing of the convention on CNN tonight, I saw Senator Walter Mondale -- the Dems' 1984 presidential candidate who won one (yes, 1) state against Reagan -- on TV twice! But no Dukakis.

Drudge's anti-Kerry jihad
I am a frequent (dare I say obsessive?) reader of the Drudge Report. He's been particularly entertaining of late, especially pertaining to the Democratic National Convention taking place in Boston this week. He is bringing very interesting stories to light, which add some flavour to the otherwise boring event. The stories have been, well, slightly negative and embarassing for the Democrats.
I love this one. Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of the presumptive Democratic nominee, seems to come frequently unhinged. The media has in my view been relatively easy on her so far. I think that's over now.
Meanwhile, most media and even some of my conservative friends are gushing over last night's speech by Bill Clinton. I watched and didn't find it particularly impressive. Yes, he is an oratorical genius. But it's the same old liberal Democratic message: class warfare, the government should do more, Bush is mean, etc... I don't think it's going to work this time.

Share the wealth, Michael
Michael Moore held a conference call yesterday with reporters to brag about how his "documentary" Fahrenheit 9/11 has eclipsed the $100-million mark at the box office. It is apparently going to be one of the highest (if the not the highest) grossing movies of 2004.
I look forward to hearing from Millionnaire Michael how much of this fortune he plans on donating to charity, especially the poor and downtrodden of auto-plant-layoffs-ravaged Flint, Michigan -- his beloved hometown.
After all, keeping all these millions would be contrary to Moore's deeply-held personal and political values, would it not?

Happy trails Edwina!
We're continuing to trudge along in summer hours mode here at Daifallah's Musings. Lots of weekends away make for light blogging. Apologies.
In other news, my buddy Edwina, who is a top notch golfer and all-around great person, is flying to London today where she will assume her new job as a bigwig investment banker. We sent her off in style on Thursday (see below.) Good luck Edwina, we are all proud! Sad to see you become part of the brain drain, though. England's gain is definitely Canada's loss. We'll miss you!
