JUNK YARD BLOG - WHY DO THE CLINTONS BACK KERRY? Because if Kerry wins, Bill Clinton may become U.N. Secretary General in 2006. First things first. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has set his sights on becoming U.N. secretary-general. A Clinton insider and a senior U.N. source have told United Press International the 56-year-old former president would like to be named leader of the world body when Kofi Annan's term ends early in 2006. "He definitely wants to do it," the Clinton insider said this week. A Clinton candidacy is likely to receive overwhelming support from U.N. member states, particularly the Third World. Diplomats in Washington say Clinton would galvanize the United Nations and give an enormous boost to its prestige.

You and Yen have fun in Portland. I almost told you, last week, that there was a news story coming out of Pland, with a most beautiful view of Mt. Hood in the background. I enjoyed the film, but I didn't learn a lot from it; most of it has been covered on the net. The one thing I really came way with is that Fox is able to nudge the other networks into reporting their line.It's a little more insidious than I had thought. I wonder where the talking points memos originate. Grover Norquist's meetings? Anyway, it looks like L&S, JLA, etc, ate being sent the same memos. Yesterday was goose the gun day, I guess. Today...??. In a few weeks, the tone will change, and it will no longer be "support the prez cuz he walks on water and you are a commie if you don't" to "the highest patriotic duty we have is to criticize prez. Kerry". Fuzzy Rat
