THE GREAT LOVE OF BILLARY
It must be some definition of ''love'' that mere mortals are not familiar with. That's why they didn't turn to each other after he left office the way Ron and Nancy did, the way that GW and Laura did, or the way that GHW and Barbara did. mmmmm Could it be that their supporters are also confused about other human values as well?

This film suggests we had terrorists and hijackers B4 9/11?
Sad but true. Americans and the world have been ''taken for a ride'' by paranoid, militaristic, foolish Nation State Governments and our political ''leaders'' including the latest, Barack Obama, who continue to insist on the necessity of continued warfare against ''Terrorism'' when this film about the German Baader Meinhoff Complex proves and ...

Hillary Clinton and Ancient Greek Democracy
As some of you have heard, Hillary Clinton supposedly committed a gaffe by claiming American democracy was older than European democracies. In context, she was very clearly talking about current democracies --ours having run for longer than those of Europe-- rather than claiming the first appearance of democracy here predated the first appearance ...

How about the State Department Historian's Office?
In addition to all the problems with archives that need fixing, the Historian's Office at the U.S. Department of State, which publishes the Foreign Relations of the United States, seems to be returning to the Dark Ages in terms of transparency -- o.k., maybe we shouldn't insult the Middle Ages. See, for example, http://hnn.us/articles/60911.html, ...

The Kerfuffle Over The Mangled Oath
“Oaf of Office” is the title of a funny column by Steven Pinker in the Jan 22nd NY Times about how the oath of office for President Obama got mangled. An excerpt: “On Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Flubber Hall of Fame when he administered the presidential oath of office apparently without notes. Instead of having Barack Obama ...

The Twelve Days of Choosing (Obama's Top Team)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuUFFGbuiUo Parody on The Twelve Days of Christmas, as applied to Obama's picks for his Cabinet and other key posts.

He Must Be Powerless: I Felt Sorry Today for Bush!
I always remember the moment I stopped hating Richard Nixon. It was 1974 as he flung his double victory signs into the faces of the American public and boarded his plane to oblivion. The experience was almost mystical. I had felt such strong anger and seething antipathy toward him since I was a child that I didn't know if I could cope without ...

Obama Pledges Not To Smoke In White House
Barack Obama says you won't catch him lighting up a cigarette in the smoke-free White House. ''There are times where I've fallen off the wagon,'' the president-elect said when asked in a broadcast interview whether he has kicked the habit. http://www.webcastr.com/videos/news/obama-pledges-not-to-smoke-in-white-house.html

OK, so Kaplan hates women. How else to explain it?
The unspoken premise of Fred Kaplan's article is that there's reason to suspect Hillary Clinton wouldn't be a team player without some sort of enforcer holding her in line. I realize that, because she's a successful woman, some men will naturally assume she must therefore be a manipulative bitch who'll backstab her friends to serve her own ...
