Romney tied his dog to the roof of his car in a box. What do you expect, as a volunteer soldier? Respect? He thinks helping him in his campaign in nice service for his sons. I think a lot of people have this guy's number already!

I supported Edwards throughout. I so wanted a smart, caring president and one who was not an embarrassment to the U.S. I never heard of Obama until a few months ago. How do we really know if he's a slightly snotty backbencher with a good speechwriter or the real thing, whatever the real thing is? My instinct says we need "street" in Washington, not Harvard Law Review, but I am pending on him. Hillary is a known quantity, pro and con. As fot the nutty albino grandpa on the other side, all I need to hear is "bomb bomb bomb Iran" playing in my head. Last night for the first time in nine years, I watched Judge Judy instead of MSNBC. I knew Edwards would not win, that was becoming clear, but a lot of that was from the press ignoring him or mocking his hair or his house and a lot of stupid stuff. I am almost ashamed to be a reporter these days!

Sometimes I think why don't we just let Chris

Matthews, Tucker Carlson, and that Chuck Todd person

decide this darn thing? Why even vote? The press shut

Edwards out. Now they are all about McCain. Just what

we need! Another peevish, war-loving, "big picture" guy

who thinks everyone is stupid except him. And he's

frail, too--so we can chew on that ad nauseam! I live in Arizona. All I can do is apologize. We are not all McCain fans here.

We should "follow our heart"? This man is "brilliant"? Obama's wife picks up his socks one at a time...she has said so. I was for Edwards all the way, but now will vote for Hillary. DC will eat Obama alive. I never even heard his name until last September

I am interested in why you think Obama would be better. So far, all I see is a sort of snotty backbencher with a good speechwriter and tons of press support. I was for Edwards, too, but think (1) Hillary can govern and wants to, (2) She is quick on her feet and has the facts (she took Chris Wallace to school Sunday), and (3) women tend to overperform. She will work herself hard to help this country recover from you-know- who. If Obama prevails, at least we can watch DC educate him in the way govt works. Or doesn't. As for Chris--forget him. He is so scared of Hillary it isn't even funny! She just laughs at him. (You looked pretty perplexed, by the way.)

Somehow we get the feeling that good old American commonsense will prevail--but Bush got elected twice, remember. The last thing we need is another peevish, war-loving twit in the Oval Office. Who can defeat him--like he is some sort of Gold Standard of excellence? I am from AZ. Our papers are full of letters to the effect that if the rest of the country knew what he was like (Bush hug--cough--Keating Five--cough--fifth from last at Annapolis..cough...100 yrs in Iraq...cough.. bomb bomb) they would not vote for him--but Bush for two terms--let THAT be your Gold Standard. Pat Buchanan says McCain is like Bush on steroids. For once--and probably only time--listen to Pat!

On the OB (other blog, Huffpost) Shuster seemed to say he was being punished for Chris Matthews' being a jerk. He didn't really say this? Well, good, if not--it was a finky thing to day. Matthews has much to ans for, but I heard David say this and he persisted!

What's up with her too-white teeth? But I digress.

I like her shows where she rules up or down on

people's financial wants and proposals. "Denied, girlfriend."

Laughing is good for you, right?

Hillary was winning and Matthews was apparently flabbergasted and attributed it to a "change in the cosmos." Uh. yeah--that's it, Chris...the whole universe realigned...didn't you feel it?

This is not some Shakespearean hero--it's a guy who couldn't keep it zipped. And a cruel guy at that--even allowing his wife to stand there and look miserable. What a prince!

When I saw the words "bowel movement" in my email, I knew a line had been crossed. Now, very slowly, I am going back on the other side to do my work.

These women don't work, do they? At least the fake-jugged ones had jobs! My favorite character is LuAnn's eye-rolling housekeeper. And my second favorite is Alex's shopping-obsessed husband who actually thinks as a hotel manager he can break into New York society. He's the "help," also, to the social set. Oh, what do I know--I am sitting in my family room in the desert in Arizona. Thanks for the laffs, tho! Oh...one other question (I am watching WAY to closely), why did Jill pay for her kid's duds with cash? What line of work is Bobby in, anyhow?

To AlienLoveSong (above), I notice you posted. If I didn't have silly shows to watch, I couldn't take care of my demented mother, cope with a 20-something still at home, run a business, and educate people with my insightful blog comments. This is my vacation! St Barts, it's not.

I wonder how many laid-off workers, foreclosed homeowners, and "downscale" women (this makes us feel so good, by the way) were in debate club in HS. His appearances are like the state finals.

Just caught my 26-yr-old helping herself to money out of my purse. Oh--did you think parenthood ended at 18? Bewaaaahhhhha ha.
