Election 2004
Best vp Debate Post I’ve Read
Sorry, I’ve avoided most of them so the sample is small. It will be difficult, if not impossible, for any to top Jim Henly. He nailed it!
Debate Fact Checking
Avedon Carol fact checks the Washington Post fact checker and cheney has breakfast with edwards in 2001.
Parents Wrong, School Administrator Wrong
Regular readers will know that Modulator probably wouldn’t be putting a photo montage of US presidents on the wall of a classroom. However, lots of teachers do this.
Even in an election year, there is no justification for including a challenger in or removing an incumbent from this type of montage.

Update 10/6: Commenter Lis Riba notes that the school district presents this much differently then the above linked article.
Apparently it was not a montage of all the presidents just w. But there is much more. Read the disctrict press release (linked above) and this extensive analysis of the incident.
Update 2 (10/6): Tom has a must read clarified version of the district press release.
Living Up to The Commitment
It is to bad that cheney-bush failed to live up to this cheney statement from the 2000 cheney-lieberman debate:
I think this is an extraordinarily important decision we’re going to make on November 7. We’re really going to choose between what I consider to be an old way of governing ourselves of high levels of spending, high taxes, an ever more intrusive bureaucracy, or a new course, a new era, if you will. And Governor Bush and I want to offer that new course of action.In 2000 Cheney almost captured Ann Althouse with this approach.
Well, maybe we did get a new course, a new era. One defined by higher levels of spending, a more intrusive bureacracy, increased secrecy, and, yes, more federal-corporate cronyism.
