And here's why you have to tune into Hot Potatoes each day. The JibJab boys have produced a new on-line video starring Dubya and Flipflop. You remember the first one, of course -- where Dubya called Flipflop a "liberal wiener" and Flipflop called Dubya a right-wing nut job to the tune of "This Land." Well, JibJab's back with a spoof sung to the tune of "I Wish I Were in Dixie" -- only Dixie becomes D.C. Click here and tell your friends that you found it on Hot Potatoes.

1. Political 'Toon Fix: Chuck Asay re: veep debate here and Chip Bok re. Kerry's foreign policy here.

5. Reality Check Fix: If you listen to the caterwauling from the anti-war mainstream media, you'd think that they were right about WMDs. And they were ... to a degree. But they remain dead wrong about So-Damn Insane's potential threat. Arms inspector Charles Duelfer's report sez that So-Damn was trying to break UN sanctions, so he could resume his making WMDs here.

6. Opinion Fix: Jim Geraghty (Demo draft hot air), Joel C. Rosenberg (Zogby's poll), L. Paul Bremer III (What I really said about Iraq), Robert Robb (Kerry isn't biz friendly), and Chuck Colson (Youth vote).
