I know a few of you have seen the new design “in development”. Now it’s all done.

The 50’s theme has been tugging at me for a while now. Most designers lately have been going for the “weathered look“, first mastered by Fossil. While I like the nostalgia of the weathered look, and LOVE the art style of the 40’s and 50’s, I wanted to do something different. I spent some time surfing “vintage” clip art sites and found enough material and inspiration to finish SYNS v2.0. I’m sure there will be tweaks and such in the future, but I think this design will server for a good long while.

I’ve also got some new features cooking on the back burners. Keep your eyes open for “Nutrition for Dummies” in the near future.

This is not a political blog, I swear. But the stuff in the media is just too funny to pass up lately.

I found a handbook for Senator Kerry to study before the debates so he can be straight on what his stance is on the the issues. (This stance is often “foragaints”.)

According to CNN, “Bush apparently leads Kerry in pre-debate poll.” … Apparently? As in 53 is apparently greater than 42?! Golly, with such well founded mathematic principals, it’s no wonder they’re the leader in left-wing balanced news coverage.

The article also says:

“Headed into their first face-to-face debate, President Bush appears to be leading Democratic Sen. John Kerry among likely voters, with a clearer edge among registered voters.”

OH! So you’re saying that non-registered voters are not quite as fond of Bush. WHO CARES!! Non-registered voters DON’t COUNT!!

By the way, the difference in percentage between the two polls “likely voters” and “registered voters” is less than the margin of error in the poll. Yaaay math!

Okay, quick. Look at the time and date on this post. I want it to be very clear that I am psychic!!

It’s Tuesday, September 28th, and I’m saying this now, not later when it actually happens.

Utilizing my cosmic, mystical, ethereal powers of seeing into the future, I am about to give you glimpse into the “yet-to-be”. Ready?

In the next 30 days, major media outlets will “marvel” at John Kerry’s “resurgence” in the “polls”. They will credit his “debate skills” and the fact that he is “winning over” Americans with his “firm stand” on Iraq and the economy.

It will happen. Also, everything that appears in quotation marks above will be entirely false and misleading.

The great OZ has spoken!

It’s a well established fact that John Kerry isn’t very good at making up his mind on an issue. But it turns out it’s not his fault.

I ran across a great article that chronicles John Kerry’s pattern of blaming others for his gaffes and mistakes. It also gives several examples of his wife doing the same thing. I recommend you read the whole article, but here’s a few clips.

A speechwriter was blamed for using the term “Benedict Arnold Companies” even though Kerry used the phrase 746 times.
A train conductor was blamed when the train failed to stop in Lawrence, Kansas for a scheduled rally.
A Secret Service agent was to blame (and called a “son of a bitch”) when John Kerry fell while skiing in Idaho.
