Anna's Bloviations

When Words Change Before Your Ears. Yes I admit it. I am slightly annoyed with democratic presidential hopeful John F. Kerry. He needs to start saying what he means and mean what he says i.e. did you throw your damn medals/ribbons over the fence or didn't you? And if you did, that's ok, just stand up for it will you? Ditto for your S.U.V. comment that it is your wife who owns seven gas-guzzlers, not you... What kind of Clintonesque semantical fuzziness is that? In other words, you would have the American public believe that you have a vision for alternative energy and are willing to stand up to the big oil company interests yet are too chicken to stand up and tell your wife to go buy a hybrid?

When Words Change Before Your Eyes. Remember the recent story about the American soldier standing next to young Iraqi boys holding a cardboard sign that read, "Lcpl Boudreaux killed my dad then he knocked up my sister?" The Marines are still investigating this incident and the jury is still out as to whether the text was manipulated or not. Easy enough to do using a photo editing application. For instance... Or, write something yourself!
