Psychopolitik is on hiatus until I get back from thanksgiving vacation, which will be Monday.

Until then, hope the world doesn't end. And throw back a few, I know I will...

LMAO...

One of Drudge's "connects" overheard John Kerry's advisers discussing new strategy to delay the inevitable:

The advisers discussed how Kerry should stop trying to defend his Iraq vote and develop how Kerry's the real anti-war protester, not Dean. The staffers talked about doing an ad where they would contrast Kerry's anti-war activism with Dean as a draft-dodging ski bum. The ad would feature vault clips of Kerry speaking at anti-war rallies and testifying on Capitol Hill vs. Dean statements on how he could have served in the military, but decided not to.

By any chance were these morons drinking vodka while they were spewing this nonsense? Kerry voted for the war in Iraq, there is no way around it, at all. Any Dems that would be convinced otherwise are mindless sheep.

And then comes some serious delusion:

All of Dean's money is coming from Republicans, one member of Kerry's kitchen cabinet told the group. Another adviser asked if that had been researched. No one had an answer.

Now, I could understand one of them suspecting that a small portion of Dean's money was coming from republicans pushing for a too-Left nominee to make it easier on Bush, but ALL? This is nuts.

Kerry should have these people fired. And drop out of the race.

Somebody explain the logic behind this:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has collected extensive information on the tactics, training and organization of antiwar demonstrators and has advised local law enforcement officials to report any suspicious activity at protests to its counterterrorism squads, according to interviews and a confidential bureau memorandum.

So, lemme get this straight. All the worry about terrorist "sleeper cells" in the US, and the FBI is trailing the Unwashed Career Protestor crowd?

The memorandum, which the bureau sent to local law enforcement agencies last month in advance of antiwar demonstrations in Washington and San Francisco, detailed how protesters have sometimes used "training camps" to rehearse for demonstrations, the Internet to raise money and gas masks to defend against tear gas.

Gee, I didn't know it was a crime to buy gas masks...

Of course, everything is a crime to Cromwe...I mean, Ashcroft.
