1. Kerry the jingoist.

I'm still having a hard time accepting Kerry as the best option. What a sad state of affairs :(

4. Jingoist?

I don't understand.

[Bill Wade]

7. JIngoist may have been the wrong word, but it still works, actually.

Jingoist: Extreme nationalism characterized especially by a belligerent foreign policy; chauvinistic patriotism.

Armed Forces Day? Give a break dude.

8. I guess I don't see the problem

I think the Armed Forces are important, having a clue as to what they are able to do and what they are not able to do is important, supporting rather than exploiting them is important, and knowing from the top what it's like at the bottom is important. I think Kerry can speak to all of those, and I'm glad he'll be doing this address.

3. Excellent! One of Kerry's underused and underappreciated strengths...

...is how good he is using the intimacy of a radio microphone. It's a skill not all candidates have mastered...B*, for one, is terrible at it. (Although Dean and Clark are both rather good, IMHO.)
