Tuesday Quick Fix 6 (8/3/04)

I took a break from sunbathing on Sanders Beach last week to check out that sign in front of the monster mansion alongside Jerry Jaeger's cabin -- you know, the one that runs 11,000 square feet or so. A sign out front provides a Web address for those who want to go on line to covet the place. And you can find it here (click on "projects" and then on "cdabighouse"). Try not to drool. Here's your fixes:

1. For your Political 'Toon Fix, Daryl Cagle & Co. react to Teresa H-K's "shove it" here, and Paul Nowak examines Flipflop's life here.

2. Leno: "On Friday, it was John Edwards wedding anniversary, Edwards, Kerry and their wives all stopped at a Wendy’s to eat. That’s a tradition with the Edwards to always go to Wendy’s on their anniversary because that’s where they went on their first date so they brought the Kerry’s with them. I don’t want to say that Kerry’s wife Teresa had never been to a Wendy’s before, but she ordered the pheasant. For the rest of your Wake Up & Read It Fix, you can find This Day in History here, This Day in Music here, and Today's Birthdays here.

3. For your Top of the News Fix, No Holds Barred offers: Heinz-Kerry mouths off again here, Dubya has no second thoughts about going into Iraq here, GOP wants to do away with IRS here, Singer Henley gets Ronstadt boo treatment here, and D.C. journalists favor Kerry 12-1 here.

4. NHB has been looking for a photo comparison between Flipflop in his NASA suit and Michael Dukakis aboard a tank back when ... and, voila, Daniel Kurtzman's Political Humor Web site provided it here. (Also, use the back and forward arrows to have more fun with the Demo tag team of Flipflop/John-John.)

5. For some reason, CBS News trumpeted Algore's bounce four years ago after the convention, but it failed to mention Flipflop's non-bounce after the recently concluded Demo convention. Mebbe the nightly snooze is being run by different management. And mebbe its just plain biased. You be the judge here.

6. For your Opinion Fix, NHB has: Star Parker (Al Sharpton), Dick Morris (What Kerry bounce?), David Brooks (bipolar attitude toward military), Steven Stark (It's the debates, stupid), and Matt Towery (Hillary's popularity).
