Kerry offers Silicon Valley solutions
Iacocca on stage to endorse him at San Jose rally

Democrat John Kerry brought his presidential campaign to Silicon
Valley Thursday to unveil his high-tech vision for America's future,
but he hedged his bet by bringing in former auto industry leader --
and 2000 Bush supporter -- Lee Iacocca for an endorsement.

"I'm here today because our country needs a change in leadership,''
Iacocca, the former head of Chrysler and Ford, told a morning crowd at
San Jose State University. "I was deeply involved in the (2000) Bush
campaign, stumping for him in Michigan and Pennsylvania. ... But this
year, I'm supporting John Kerry.''

The 79-year-old Iacocca, who had a reputation as a maverick and an
innovator during his years in the distinctly old economy auto
industry, said Kerry was the right man for our fast-changing economy.

"We need a leader who will level with us about how we can adapt to
that change and make things change for the better,'' Iacocca said.

For Kerry, the key to those changes is billions of dollars in new
government support for science and technology, money that could
generate millions of new jobs in what he calls "the economy for our
future."

"The focus is not on the next election, but on the next generation,"
the Massachusetts senator said. "It's a plan to let America be America
again by tapping the ingenuity and innovation that are at the heart of
our character as a people.''

Nice. And a new poll of Ohio voters shows Kerry with a six-point lead.

Uhh...You do know that means Kerry's lead has slipped a point in the ARG
poll since the last time they conducted it, right?


American Research Group (6/21-6/23)
Kerry: 49%
Bush: 43%

ARG (5/10-5/12):
Kerry: 49
Bush: 42

And the two other most recent polls have Bush leading.

Fox News (6/22-6/23):
Bush: 45
Kerry 41

Zogby (6/15-6/20):
Bush: 50.5%
Kerry: 45.1%

Those Zogby numbers have completely reversed since May

Zogby (5/18-5/23):
Kerry: 49.4
Bush: 44.8

That's a 10 point swing in one month. Things aren't exactly looking
promising for Droop-Along Dog.

Grammar couses in high school?

Things must have changed since my school days. Grammar was taught in the
primary grades, one through six. By the time you got to the seventh
grade (junior high), if you didn't know grammar, you spent the rest of
that year in "remedial" English, and stayed classified that way until
you were able to demonstrate you had decent skills.

Uhh is slang.
The three dots form an ellipsis:

ellipsis
1.. A mark or series of marks (... or * * *, for example) used in writing
or printing to indicate an omission, especially of letters or words.
I guess you can say that I used the ellipsis to fill in the omitted
expletives that fell between "Uhh" and my question.

For example, "Uhh, you stupid ****. You do know..."
