Thursday Quick Fix 6 (10/28/04)

Let’s start the day by handing out a double serving of Sweet Potatoes — to NIConservative students. They challenged instructor Sharla Chittick for handing out extra credit to students who viewed Michael Moore-Is-Less’ (pictured) schlockumentary “Farenheit 9/11.” Quoth student Lorie Heinrichs (in the S-R): “there are other options, but none of the other options are politically biased and this one is politically biased.” Sounds like Chittick is a good teacher overall who tries to keep her liberal leanings in check. Not much of a foul here. But it’s nice to see that today’s college students aren’t rolling over when they’re hit with tripe from left leaning academia.

1. Political ‘Toon Fix: Daryl Cagle & Co. take a look at undecided voters here. And, for inspiration, you can see one of Guy Gilchrist’s angels here.

2. Humor Fix: If you haven’t had an opportunity to vote in the Florida elections, click 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: Russia tied to Iraq’s missing arms here, Marriage amendments all expected to pass here, IRS: Churches can’t pray for Bush victory here, Boston pitcher Schilling urges Bush vote here, and Zogby: It’s close here.

5. Reality Check Fix: You want links between So-Damn Insane and terror? Well, Deroy Murdock, media fellow at the Hoover Institute of Stanford U., has provided all the links your little heart can desire here.

6. Opinion Fix: Ann Coulter/Townhall.com (40 excuses and a mule), Dick Morris/New York Post (Kerry camp’s final fumble), Philip Meyer/USA Today (Poll numbers), Myrna Blyth/National Review (Teresa), Catherine Seipp/National Review (Wonderful world of WB).
