The View From Arlen

Why Arlen? Arlen is the TV home of "King of the Hill." It's a small conservative town that is threatened with ruination on a regular basis by twig boys, enviro wackos, diversity nuts, "PC" police and other ivory tower liberals. I like to think of Arlen as a metaphor for this here great nation of ours.

A MAN OF THE PEOPLE?

The many homes of Democrat Presidential candiate, John F. Kerry:

Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania (Assessed value: $3.7 million)

Ketchum, Idaho ski getaway/vacation home (Assessed value: $4.916 million)

Washington, D.C - Georgetown area (assessment: $4.7 million)

Nantucket, Massachusetts waterfront retreat on Brant Point (Assessed value: $9.18 million)

Boston, Massachusetts - Beacon Hill home (Assessed value: $6.9)

oh, and he sold this estate in Italy to activist actor George Clooney, just before announcing his running for president. I guess he thought it might not sit well with the common man. ($7.8 million)

other foreign property ownership by John Kerry is unknown... because he denied repeated requests for this information.

CLINTON SPARED BIN LADEN

From today's New York Post:

President Clinton had at least three chances before 9/11 to try to kill Osama bin Laden - but never took his shot, a new congressional report revealed yesterday.
"We had a round in our chamber and we didn't use it. That's how I see it," snapped former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey (Neb.), a member of the Sept. 11 presidential commission.
A CIA official called [one] incident "a lost opportunity to kill bin Laden before 9/11.

So, Clinton had eight years and at least three chances to get Bin Laden and he didn't...but Bush is the one who could have prevented 9/11?

Yeah...riiiiight....

ARE THE KERRY...WELL... JERKS?

Drudge and N.Y. Times have reported that John Kerry called one of the Secret Service Agents guarding him a "son of a bitch".

Meanwhile, his wife, millionaire Teresa, calls the people of the United States "at times...quite immature."

Is this to sort of attitude towards others we want in our President and First Lady?

SURPRISE, SURPRISE

To the surprise of, probably, no one, information is surfacing to indicate that John Kerry is orchestrating the attacks on President Bush's campaign ads.

Apparently, the group behind the attacks is partially funded by foundations tied to Teresa Heinz Kerry:

The ...organization representing the families of September 11 victims who are critical of campaign ads by President Bush is a project of the Tides Center, which has received millions of dollars in charitable contributions from foundations chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry.

Furthermore, according to the American Spectator:

Despite denials that the Kerry campaign criticized the Bush ads, the Kerry camp did reach out family members of people killed on 9/11 whom they knew were supporters of Kerry and asked if they'd be willing to denounce the ads publicly.
Those people were given the names of assignment editors at cable news channels and network news outlets, as well as talking points for them to use if they were interviewed.

I'm sure the "mainstream media" will be bringing this up any day now.
