Hump Day QF6 (9/29/04)

I don't have time this morning to bring you all the usual features because I'm going to Spokane in an hour. So, you'll have to make do with the Quick Fix Six until I get back in the midafternoon. Sorry. But my real job calls today.

1. For your Political 'Toon Fix, Paul Nowak looks at Gen XYZ's apathy toward public affairs and voting here, and Wayne Stayskal doodles about the war on obesity here. And you can find Guy Gilchrist's latest angel here.

2. Leno: "First he gets the Botox. Now he’s got the rich tan. Apparently the senator’s confused. The Miss America Pageant was last week. This is the presidential debates. In fact it was reported today Kerry got a bikini wax." And your My Way Fix: This Day in History here, This Day in Music here, and Today's Birthdays here.

3. Top of the News Fix: Feds: NYTimes reporter tipped off terror charity here, Martha Stewart to spend time in W. Virginia here, Poll: Debates key to 18% of vote here, Kerry: Bush the flipflopper here, 2 sentenced to death for Cole bombing here, and Baseball returns to D.C. here.

4. American snipers are doing their duty picking off Sunni Triangle terrorists way before their military mates have had breakfast. It's dangerous duty. But someone has to do it. And these guys are doing it well. Here's your Americans At War Fix.

5. J. Budziszewski, a University of Texas government prof, makes a compelling moral case for capital punishment for your Hang 'Em High Fix.

6. Opinion Fix: Myrna Blyth (Women don't trust Kerry), Kate O'Beirne (A post-Vietnam War hero), Walter Weber (Terri's Law), Al "Girlie Man" Gore (How to debate George Bush), and Kathleen Parker (Why Rathergate matters).
