NFRA Official Apology
While the National Federation of Republican Assemblies wishes to continue
to offer quality information in its newsletter, the consequences are
occasionally beyond our ability to foretell. Last week we highlighted the
Social Security Death Index
http://ssdi.rootsweb.com/
as a good site for genealogical information. We did not expect and
apologize to all Republicans for the opportunity our publicity of the site
gave the Democrat Party to increase voter turnout for their candidates.
JOKES OF THE WEEK
Jay Leno: "They said during
surgery, they stopped Clinton's heart for 73 minutes. Isn't that
amazing? 73 minutes. In fact, at one point, Clinton's entire life
flashed before his eyes. And at first, he didn't recognize it, because
it's nothing like his memoirs."
"Clinton's heart surgeon, the main guy that did the heart surgery, just
like a month ago donated $2,000 to the Bush campaign. The doctor said
he's not a big Republican, it was just a little thank you note from all
the business he got from Dick Cheney."
"Since Clinton had no heart damage, his arteries are now clear, and they
say he can live a long and healthy life...as long, his doctor says, as
long as he practices some lifestyle self-control."
"Doctors held a press conference yesterday. ... It kept getting asked
over and over and over again, when could Clinton start, you know,
campaigning for John Kerry. ... Finally, they turned to Kerry, and he
said, 'Will you shut up?'"
"Kerry is behind Bush in the polls, so he's trying to reach out to more
and more people. And I guess the Kerry campaign, they're experimenting
with new slogans. Have you heard the latest one? ... 'Did somebody say
Vietnam?'"
"All the new shows coming out. CBS has a new news magazine coming out.
It's called 'Dan Rather's Believe It Or Not.'"
"As you know, CBS, which stands for 'Can't Believe Story...'"
"She's quite controversial, this Kitty Kelley, 'cause 20 years ago, she
was accused of blurring the lines between gossip and journalism. See back
then, there was a line between gossip and journalism."
"And John Kerry campaigned in Wisconsin today. It was reported he had a
big cheese head on. It turned out, no, that was his actual head."
"In an interview in Harper's Bazaar magazine, Teresa Heinz Kerry says she
doesn't much care for the title 'First Lady.' Well, the way the campaign
is going, I think she'll be okay."
"They say this weather could affect the turnout on the Election Day. For
example, if there's a hurricane in Texas, Kerry could win. If there's a
rainstorm in Massachusetts, Bush could win. If it snows in hell, Ralph
Nader could win."
QUOTES OF THE WEEK
From Wall Street Journal daily newsletter:
Fighter Pilots Are Sissies, Says Theater Critic "Only in an
election year ruled by fiction could a sissy who used Daddy's connections
to escape Vietnam turn an actual war hero into a girlie-man," writes Frank
Rich in the "Arts" (!) section of the New York Times. So Frank Rich thinks
George W. Bush is a sissy because he flew fighter jets in his youth. And
what did Frank Rich do when he was younger? Why, he was a theater
critic!
Not that there's anything wrong with that!
"Freedom of choice for abortion, but no freedom of choice for children
already born as to where they might best be educated -- this is a triumph
of politics over common sense and a denial of the right of a child to the
best possible education." --Cal Thomas
"Even though I am a well-recognized liberal on many issues confronting our
society today, I find it ironic that many human rights advocates and
outspoken members of my own entertainment community are often on the front
lines to protest repression, for which I applaud them but they are usually
the first ones to oppose any use of force to take care of these horrors
that they catalogue repeatedly." --Ron Silver at the GOP convention
From the Houston Chronicle
Referring to the hurricane Ivan:
Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the
kids," said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate
John Kerry. "
Heinz Kerry says aid is
about foodNEW YORK - Teresa Heinz Kerry,
encouraging volunteers as they busily packed supplies Wednesday for
hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean, said she was concerned the
effort was too focused on sending clothes instead of essentials such as
water and electric generators. "Clothing is wonderful, but let them go
naked for a while, at least the kids," said Heinz Kerry, the wife of
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. "Water is necessary, and
then generators, and then food, and then clothes." Heinz Kerry stopped by
a market in the heart of Brooklyn's Caribbean community, where she spoke
French with Haitian vendors and shook hands with volunteers busy packing
food, clothes and other supplies.
