Hump Day Quick Fix 6 (10/27/04)

Bush wins! Bush wins! Bush wins! Finally, we have the poll that matters most (thanks to In The Know) -- The Weekly Reader Presidential Poll. As the parents go, so go the children. And children in grades 1 through 12 went for Dubya in TWR poll, except for the sophomores. (There's a reason we use the term sophomoric to describe immature folks.) Anyway, you can read the full poll results here.

1. Political 'Toon Fix: Chuck Asay looks at Repubs who acquire a taste for pork here, and Paul Nowak looks at the many faces of J. Flipflop Kerry here.

2. Humor Fix: Jay D. Dyson of SoCal provides another of his tantalizing Sacred Cow Burgers here.

3. My Way Fix: This Day in History here, This Day in Music here, Today's Birthdays here, and Positive Quote here.

4. Top of the News Fix: Democrats file 9 suits in Florida here, Terrorists hope to defeat Bush through Iraq violence here, Study: Media favored Kerry in early October here, Libertarian pioneer endorses Bush here, and British forces start deployment in Iraq here.

5. Reality Check: All the Lib Lefties are huffing and puffing about that New York Times story claiming that 400 tons of "high explosives" were missing from al Qaqaa arms dump. Not only is the story old but it may not be true either. William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, sets the record straight here.

6. Opinion Fix: Christopher Hitchens (Slightly for Bush), Andrew Sullivan (Kerry endorsement), Melana Zyla Vickers All eyes on women's vote, William P. Kuzewicz (Battleground jobs jump), and Michelle Malkin (Illegal alien vote).
