Ladies and gents, the laziest form of blogging: I wrote the following in an email to a friend who asked whether or not I caught Kerry last night on the Daily Show. Instead of writing a post about it, I'm just going to copy and paste the email...
"Of course I watched the D-Show! It was a little more softball than I thought it would be, but I know Jon Stewart is disgusted with the Swift Boat thing right now so I think he found it hard to be too tough given how craven Kerry's opponents have been this week. I thought Kerry came off well enough, but I have absolutely zero insight into the mind of average voters/undecideds/non-political junkies. I wish JS had cut off some of the stump speech stuff Kerry kept getting into, but I think he's sympathetic to the idea of talking about current issues so he let JK speechify a bit.
"What's pretty amazing though is that this was Kerry's first appearance on a talk show since he went on Leno (after Triumph the insult comic dog!) last November. He picked the Daily Show, which must mean something for the future of fake news..."

No, the really interesting thing is that Stewart is the first journalist (or whatever) to ask him point-blank, “Were you ever in Cambodia?” And Kerry didn’t answer.
the extra gum package, my pick, and the suse box are all similar shades of green. your background is also green, as is my shirt that i accidentally left outside for a few weeks. i brought it in and washed it. then, when i put it back on, it ripped. the word “everything” on that book that was a waste of money is green too, but somehow less important. i don’t like extra gum – it was a gift because her tooth was messed up.
I think there should be a weblog that posts all the email I get sent. This would have been a very interesting week for it…
You can post any emails you want, NW!
