On tattoos, I've heard the advice to think back to what was cool 20 years ago. Are you glad you didn't get that tattooed on your body? I've joked about people having Def Leppard tattoos.

But then I saw a guy in a crowd with a spectacular tattoo on his arm. A perspective view from below of an evil-looking clown riding a unicycle. Its tire was made of a ring of flames. All in vivid color.

I don't have the personality to pull off something like that but if he can, more power to him.

It ain't over till it's over.

It's only human nature for people to support people they find likable and not support people they don't like. Many men simply do not like Hillary for reasons that are intangible. Obama's charisma is a potent force when his opponent is disliked on a personal level.

And it's not only men. Some women are saying "I support the idea of a woman for President but not this woman."

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

The XFL was "financially solvent" when it ended after one season due to dismal TV ratings. The salaries paid to the players were not big league and ranged between $4000 and $5000 per week. Last time I checked, Vince McMahon is still in business.

This list of people or companies making money off the masses goes on and on. WWE, gansta rappers, Larry the Cable Guy, Will Ferrell, reality shows, inane sitcoms, MTV, Britney Spears, etc.

Adopting another child makes sense. Often that child is already here and needs a family.

Bless you for going the extra mile and doing something that will mean so much to your sponsored child and her family. This made my day!

Good job. Talk about the article, blah, blah, blah and end by blaming Bush. Classic.

I just visited the sites for CNN, ABC news, CBS news, MSNBC, FOX, even the BBC and they all have stories on it or provide links to stories on it.

Sex sells and people love a scandal.

If a prominent politician was caught in a sex scandal while visiting Iraq, we'd see a lot more coverage. Wall-to-wall coverage if Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears is involved.

Pelosi, Reid - it's time take one for the team.

Some cherry-picked sentences:

The July 1998 Rumsfeld Report found that the threat from developing ballistic missile programs in nations hostile to the United States, especially North Korea, Iran and Iraq, is developing faster than expected and could pose an imminent threat to the U.S. homeland in the next 5 years.

The 1995 NIE was viciously criticized for underestimating the threat from rogue missile programs, and some in Congress accused the Administration of deliberately downplaying the threat to undermine their call for a National Missile Defense.

That article is not meant to be about Hillary directly, only about how the Senate Intelligence Committee felt about threats prior to Bush's presidency.

Raymund, are you trolling? If so, you could do so much better. Consider what you just wrote as a first draft and then refine it. Add some subtleness. Tease us, don't bash us over the heads and expect us to laugh.

Oops, indeed!

"Walker"? You mean like "Walker, Texas Ranger"? Didn't he own the Texas Rangers? Makes perfect sense to me.

Not to be too obvious, but if this is part of your dating criteria, you're going to have a lot of free time.

He's a convicted felon, he won't be (legally) voting for anyone.

Connecticut's laws regarding the voting rights of felons changed in 2002.

It's not surprising - a rapper like 50 supporting John Kerry would have been a fatal blow to any "street cred" he might have. Well, maybe not quite as much as support Dennis Kucinich but still...

I've done that and it really is one of life's little victories.

If you can't laugh at David Chappelle's skits, a man in a wedding dress, Rudy in drag, or "Red State Update", you might be offended by the term wigger. Otherwise, it's a pretty funny term.

I don't know if the TiVo actions of the "Vote for the Worst" crowd would help predict anything, assuming they have any impact on the results.

Maybe the creators of Red State Update could put this concept to use.

Which one, Simon or Randy? Or did you TiVo late-night Cinemax?

Truth be told, it's more likely to be Nancy Pelosi.

Hillary doesn't want to be campaigning when she's 68. If she doesn't get the nod this time around, she'll run plan B to try again in 2012.

Someone here at work wants to have gender-reassignment surgery to go from male to female. This person often dresses as a female but doesn't yet pass as female when seen up close. He said he was groped once while dressed au femme. If I remember correctly, he said: "I cannot find the proper words to describe the look on his face when I turned around."

There are some living under my furniture although they don't leave lilac-scented droppings.

There will soon be a new administration. Many people no longer care to hear about this administration. Some of us are already sick of the continuous news about Obama vs. Hillary. There comes a point when more coverage turns into background noise. My capacity for outrage is dying a death of a thousand paper-cuts.
