    Oct. 29, 2004 | George W. Bush tried to laugh off the bulge. "I don’t know what that is," he said on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, referring to the infamous protrusion beneath his jacket during the presidential debates. "I’m embarrassed to say it’s a poorly tailored shirt."
    Dr. Robert M. Nelson, however, was not laughing. He knew the president was not telling the truth. And Nelson is neither conspiracy theorist nor midnight blogger. He’s a senior research scientist for NASA and (…)

    By WILLIAM KATES
    SYRACUSE, N.Y. — When the government issues a terror warning, the president’s approval rating increases an average of nearly three points, a Cornell University sociologist says.
    "The social theories predict it, and anecdotally we know it to be true. Now we have statistical science to confirm it," said Robb Willer, assistant director of Cornell’s Sociology and Small Groups Laboratory.
    On average, a terror warning prompted a 2.75 point increase in President George Bush’s (…)

    By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
    Gary Hart, the former senator and presidential candidate, has been around politics for a long time. That experience is telling him that John Kerry is going to win the US presidential election when America goes to the polls one week tomorrow.
    "It’s partly intuitive and partly based on several hidden votes that are not [shown in the polls]," he said. "The hidden votes are new (…)

    AFTER months of embarrassed silence over links with US Democrats, Downing Street finally admitted yesterday that Tony Blair had twice met John Kerry, who is challenging the Prime Minister’s war ally President Bush for the Oval Office.
    The disclosure suggests that Mr Blair may be hedging his bets on the outcome of the US elections.
    Previously the Government has raised no objection to claims, repeated on both sides of the Atlantic, that Mr Blair had “never met” the Democratic presidential (…)

    10/26/04 "ICH" — My friend Bernie says anyone who believes that George W. Bush’s war on terror isn’t a miserable, howling failure is surely a member of the media, a perp over at the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), or has had "the lobotomy." (…)

    As I have done in previous essays, I feel it appropriate to preface my remarks by making it clear that I write as a committed practising Catholic Christian, and by stressing that I am always shocked and upset by the misuse of religion as a cover for, or in pursuit of, material and/or political gain.
    On Tuesday night, my wife and I watched with growing fear and horror a television report on "Arte" (the Franco-German channel) on the religiosity of Mr George W. Bush. If the (…)
