  • 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 ...

  • 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.

  • Who said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"

    I agree that during the campaign she was remarkably racist and sexist. Both are incredibly manipulative. She is fantasic at what she does though, and brilliant. I think a lot of the abuse they ground through from the a holes of the GOP all those years made them who they are. They had to adopt an ''if you can't beat em, join em.'' I do love them ...

  • BHO would owe Gov Paterson

    Big IF's: if her Hillaryship becomes SoS, resigns from the senate & Gov Paterson appoints Bill Clinton to the senate to replace HRC-BHO would owe Gov Parerson big time. Slick Willy would be occupied [tied up] as a senator & less of a problem. WJC could be relied on to work for universal health care in the senate. Who knows how WJC will ...

  • What else Hillary didn't say

    I agree with you, and I was a little surprised at how everyone raved about her speech. I would add to your list (my notes in bold): —''Obama won fair and square.'' —''Things get a little rough in the course of a campaign, and I said some things in the heat of battle.'' —''You will hear Republicans using some of those heated campaign words ...

  • A Cabinet Post for Hillary?

    Hey, I'm as disappointed as any of you Hillary supporters that she isn't the nominee of the Democrats. But I'm over it and ready to look ahead. It's time to get behind Obama and get the Bush Bums out of the White House! PUMA? Get real. The only ones who are benefiting from the likes of you all are the Republicans. Nothing says ''weak'' better than ...
