So far, I have heard very little negative comments about the 9/11 Commission unanimous report. With the exception of John Kerry and Richard Clarke, it has been very quiet. My guess is that the Sunday gabfests will be the time to say it was all Bush's fault. Wait and see.
Now, here are some interesting items.
+Apparently, Linda Ronstadt just can't stop herself. At a Thursday evening concert Ms Ronstadt again praised propagandist, Michel Moore. The audience reaction was virtually the same. Scores of concertgoers walked out.

+It appears that former President Bill Clinton was warned about terrorists in the United States, but ignored the warning. A memo written by Richard Clarke after the millennium Plot was uncovered, Clinton was warned about sleeper cells and other terrorist activity. By the way this is the document that was stolen from the National Archives by Sandy Berger.

KERRY ON PROTECTING AMERICAN INTERESTS
The Bush people seem pleased with this tidbit from today's Wall Street Journal poll:
"The poll also shows that voters remain wary of Mr. Kerry on national security, the issue looming over the contest as U.S. troops remain in Iraq, and post-Sept. 11 fears of new terrorist attacks at home haven't faded. Just 36% of those surveyed rate Mr. Kerry highly on "being strong in protecting American interests overseas," while 35% give him poor marks."
The full story is in the Wall street Journal, but a subscription is required.
KERRY ON ABORTION, CLEAR AS MUD
Kerry talked with Peter Jennings tonight about how he could support abortion under all circumstances, yet believe that life begins at conception:
JENNINGS: The senator has always supported a woman's right to have an abortion but also agrees with the central premise of the anti-abortion movement: that life begins at conception.
KERRY: My personal belief about what happens in the fertilization process as a human being is first formed and created, that's when life begins. Something begins to happen, a transformation, an evolution and within weeks you look and see the development of it, but that's not a person yet, and it's certainly not what somebody, in my judgment, ought to have the government of the United States intervening in.
JENNINGS: If you believe that life begins at conception, is even a first trimester not murder?
KERRY: No, because it's not a form of life that takes personhood in the terms that we have judged it to be in the past. Do I believe we should talk about alternatives to abortion? I think we should talk about adoption, we should talk about, I think it is responsible to talk about abstinence, but I also believe you should talk about proper education of people, sex education.
This. Is. Gobbledygook.
PRO-BUSH PIZZA PARLOR ACROSS FROM FLEET CENTER
This guy owns a pizza shop across from the Fleet Center, which should have been one of those businesses set to make a bundle during the Democratic convention, right? Well, it appears that security rules and barriers have gotten to be such a headache that staying open during the four days isn't worth it. So Mark F. Pasquale, one very brave pizza artisan, has put up a bold sign describing his feelings.
Hope the Democrats treat his sign of public protest with respect.
UPDATE: Drudge reports that, "On Friday, WRKO-AM's Peter Blute and Scott Allen Miller reported how Pasquale has been confronted by city inspectors who have threatened to fine him unless he takes the anti-Dem sign down!"
ONE MORE POLL, THIS ONE WITH BUSH UP
Tomorrow, a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll of 813 Registered Voters, taken from July 19 through 21, will show Bush with 44 percent, Kerry with 40 percent, and Nader with 2 percent.
UPDATE: The poll results are out, and the numbers are a little different: Bush-Cheney 47 percent, Kerry-Edwards 45 percent, Nader with 2 percent.
