I like that idea of an amendment outlawing haircuts.

My wife is a bitch - I mean witch(!). When you get to be President, please reinstitute that chair dunking thing they used to do up in Massachusetts. You remember.

(She really is.)

The guy who should fold his tent is Howard Dean. He should give it to a guy who actually wants the job. Reminds one of Fred Thompson, who rated his enthusiasm for running '6' on a scale of '10'.

Howard loves Vermont too much, abdicating his post every weekend for the misty mountains.

How out of touch is John McCain?

Very, considering his statement that low income people could 'treat themselves to a nice dinner' using the savings from the gas tax holiday. John, a 'nice dinner' can't be had for $30.

Remember him?

Remind you of anyone?

Ask the people of America about Palin and the bridge. They will say she saved $$$$ by saying no thanks to Congress.

Ask The same people about the 9/11 attack and Saddam. They will say he helped with funding and planning.

Cheney finally admitted that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, but he did it only after being pressed hard, and he said it in a low voice, and he continues to link the two before sympathetic audiences. I bet Palin and McCain will continue to tout her bridge story.

Do we want liars running the country? If McCain dies in office, do we want Palin to be the one to be playing an international card game with Valdimir Putin where the stakes are fighting another land war in Asia?

McCain looks sick, has lost weight, gaunt, etc. Is more crotchety than usual. Cancer back??

Recently PBS aired a documentary called 'Torturing Democracy'. It recounted in some detail the stories of Bagrahm, Guantanamo, Abu Graib, unspecified 'dark sites', and the complicity of high Bush administration officials, including Bush himself, in the terrible acts committed at those places. This program repeatedly mentioned several names as driving the atrocities, causing formerly normal people to become insane. Many of the tortured were victims of bounty programs and family vendettas, innocent of any terrorist acts. How many? No one will know since incriminating evidence was obtained via water boarding, sleep deprivation, and extreme sensory overload to the extent that the prisoners said anything that the torturers wanted to hear. Even the FBI criticized these techniques as being ineffective in obtaining correct information.

We must investigate the criminality here and bring those responsible to account. We must do this ourselves in the USA and not let other countries (like Italy) where there are warrants in existence do it for us.

I can't get over it - the pardon of Marc Rich. I think Hillary is great, and will make a great Sec State, but it is Eric Holder I can't support.

The NYT said today that he did a lot behind the scenes to promote the pardon, like recommending the lawyer who succeeded in obtaining the pardon. This lawyer then submitted the pardon to Mr. Holder.

Sounds like a sweet deal here.

They are coming into the Obama era kicking and screaming. I just wonder how many are listening to them.

How isolated are the DA's in these sexting cases? One can see more of a girl's chest walking around any college campus or going to any beach in the summer than in any of these pictures which are being offered up as child pornography.

Yes, funny you should mention Senator Snow.

The first thing that I thought of when I read her comments about Spector's defection was, 'So what is she doing there?' (in the republican party).

Morre powerr!

I must have morre powerr!

Is it one thing to torture when lives are threatened and another to torture when you are looking for political cover?

No, Mr. Benjamin, both 'things' are the same.

This former substantial newspaper has declined into irrelevancy since the days of Katharine Graham and Ben Bradlee. The Watergate story could never be written today.

We lost in 0 eight because we didn't have a conservative running. Let's not make the same error twice - Palin-Bachman in 0 twelve! BHO won't know what hit him!

I say Beck/Palin in 0 twelve!

Or Beck/Bachmann!
