TGIF Quick Fix Six (4/30/04):

We've reached another TGIF in one piece and wincing because that "30" item last night about former AG Jim Jones said he was running for the "U.S. Supreme Court." Of course, he's running for the state Supreme Court. I was in a hurry and read right over the top of that while proofing the item. That's the biggest problem with blogs. They're written in a hurry, and you don't have a proofreader to protect your back side. It's amazing there's so few errors in the newspaper. Anyway, enuf of this self-flagellation, it's time for your fixes:

1. Cartoonist Wayne Stayskal should bring a smile to your face with his Political 'Toon Fix.

2. Jay Leno offered this in his monologue last night: "In Central Park, two gay men climbed a tree and performed lewd acts for four hours in front of hundreds of spectators to protest the fact that their parents did not condone their relationship. When he heard about it, President Bush said today, 'See this is why we need to cut down more trees. They’re nothing but problems.'" Ready? Here's your Late Night Fix.

3. According to the Washington Times, J. Flipflop Kerry has little or no organization in several battleground states that could decide the prez election. Here's your daily Flipflop Fix.

4. In case you were wondering where Arab-Americans stand on the war, a poll by the Arab American Institute reveals the minority group is solidly in Flipflop's corner (49 percent to 30 percent). Surprise! Surprise! Here's your Poll Fix.

5. You think the Coeur d'Alene City Council doesn't listen to its constituents? You're right. But even our council's sellout on Sanders Beach isn't as bad as what the Hamtramck City Council did in Michigan. Despite overwhelming opposition, those lame brains allowed community Muslims to broadcast calls to prayer over loudspeakers. Wonder if these guys ever heard of church-state separation? Here's your Political Correct Fix.

6. Posthumuously, the Army has promoted fallen Ranger Pat Tillman from specialist to corporal, saying he would have been a fine leader here. Meanwhile, that dopey UMass idiotorialist ap-hollow-gizes to Tillman's family for opining that our hero was an "idiot." Here's your Hero Fix.

--Wes Pruden of the Washington Times focuses on the Cultural Elite's frustration with its inability to bring Dubya down in the eyes of Everyman here.

--Writing for WorldNetDaily, columnist Hans Zeiger calls U.S. Rep. "Baghdad Jim" McDermott of Seattle a traitor here.

--William F. Buckley sez Flipflop's medals are fair game here.

--On TGIF, No Holds Barred delights in bringing you old columns by one of the nation's best cynics, Florence King. In 1991, in one of her best columns, she looked at America the Mealy-Mouthed here.
