You know what? I don’t give a crap! Honestly, I imagine that there’s some seed of truth in most of the things that’re being said by MoveOn.org and by the Swift Boat Veterans. Unless someone has some hard proof, I really don’t care all that much. I’d really, really, really rather the candidates discussed… oh, I don’t know… how about… THE ISSUES?

I know they’re doing that to some extent, but I’d really like to get past the rhetoric and find out what Kerry’s plans are. He says he’ll rebuild our alliances to help with the cleanup in Iraq. How? He says he’ll be prepared for any terrorist attacks, and that he’ll retaliate quickly. How? We’ve had four years to see how Bush will run things — he’s not as obligated to explain how he’s going to do things, because we have a good feel for it. Kerry’s not been President; it’s different from being a senator. He needs to come out and elaborate on his plans. Is he afraid Bush is going to steal them?

This is made doubly important since Kerry’s Senate record doesn’t quite back up the moderate stance he’s trying to put forward on most issues. He’s been pretty well steeped at the extreme left of the political spectrum, and no matter what he says, I have trouble believing him. I have issues with Bush; I won’t lie about that. Still, at least when Bush tells us that he’ll be strong on terror, I believe it. I may not approve of some of his decisions, but I don’t get the impression he’s lying. (No, I don’t think he lied about the WMDs. I think he told us the evidence that supported what he wanted, and ignored the rest, but most people do that sort of thing, and all politicians do.)

In other news, it looks like a sequel to Freddy Vs. Jason is in the works. Honestly, while the original Freddy Vs. Jason and Aliens Vs. Predator had stupid names, I really liked both of them. And, if they could get the third character they’re talking about for the FvJ sequel, I’d be there to see it opening night even if I had to fight an army of the dead to get there.

I really wish Kerry Vs. Bush was half as entertaining. Maybe we should get Paul W. S. Anderson to direct it.
