Of course she's race baiting: "those minorities are going to rise up after 400 years of slavery and get back at the white man. Haiti all over again. The deepest fears of White America realized."

What does it say about a city that riots no matter what happens? It says that America is in trouble, Americans are frustrated, and when intoxicated, Americans will act out. Maybe they need to close all the bars in Philly the day before, the day of, and the day after the election as well. Stop selling alcohol will sober them up, get them angry where they can take it out on each other at the voting places.....hmmm I guess there is no real solution here is there?

Since she and her handlers INSIST she is fully aware of what she's doing, there can be no excuses regardng her ignorance.....of the Constitution.

She is saying that the press SHOULDN'T be able to criticise the president or anyone other government leader. She thinks the First Amendment guarantees this. She must have gone to the same schools as Alberto Gonzales and George Whore Bush. She didn't talk of punishment

This kind of thinking is called FACISM boys and girls. Without repeal of the Patriot Act, something Mr. Obama has not said he will do, should she ever make it to the Oval Office, she could become Madame President for Life by creating some episode and suspending the Constitution. Until this bad legislation is repealed, anyone could create chaos and assume this power. Even the Whore or his VP. It's not over until the furniture is out of the White House

Mr Obama, it's wonderful a new age is beginning for America but you do have some baggage from the past 8 years that MUST be dealt with:

Karl Rove and Harriet Myers MUST be cited for Contempt of Congress and sent to jail. Arresting Rove live on Fox would be delicious but that's too left wing dictator-like. Of course Alberto Gonzales will have to be put on trial for his crimes against the country.

Please have Dick Cheney and GWBush arrested on the platform as soon as you take oath of office. They must be held for Treason and Crimes Against Humanity. If you don't have the balls for that, send them to Germany on Air Force One and let them be tried there.

Condi Rice needs to be brought before Congress and made accountable for her stint as Chief of Staff for GWB and Cheney and her role in leading us to an illegal and immoral war. Treason would be fine there too.

The Patriot Act MUST be repealed. As great as you may be, you don't have the legal right to declare martial law either.

This is more important than any mortgage relief. These conservative bastards need to know they can't circumvent and undermine the Constitution and get away with it.

Thank you and I hope great things come from you, Mr. President-elect.

I guess all those women who have had their hearts broken by so many, so many times, lastly by Hillary Clinton ain't gonna take it no more! Saint Sarah is now going to be the new poster girl for the real women of America and they're gonna track every little deed, joke, and negative word. They're gonna work tirelessly for the next 4 years and plot out their girl's road to the White House. She probably won't even give THEM the time of day, especially when the big checks start rolling in.

"Yeah Baby!

SHE LIKES HER MAN

WITH THE "ALASKA SPRAY TAN"!

"Gettin' it done in the Midnight Sun!"

KUDOS! That's the best thing I've seen on Salon in a long time

to get what she wants out of the Obama camp. I like the idea of her as Supreme Court justice for some reason. Maybe cause it's a post for life and we won't have to worry about Bill's conflict of interest. I would hope she could ease the fears of the world working as SoS but she could do that as a Senator. I think Richardson is a good choice too. As long as they repair our relations with the rest of the world and restore credibility to our State Department.

Chinese astronomers tracked the star that supposedly marked the birth of Christ to a completely different time of year. If Jesus existed, he wasn't born in December. He wasn't even born in the year we use as 0. He may not even have existed at all, just made up by the same people who wanted to wrestle power from the Jews in Rome. They comandeered the Winter Solstice festival and turned it into Christmas.

Are these controlling assholes capable of anything but lies and deceit? And when was buying Barbie and Bratz for your kid a christian act and a holy celebration of a blessed event? In this economy we shouldn't even be buying any of this crap made in China. Go back to your Little House on the Prarie basics christians, make paper chains and string popcorn and leave the rest of us alone.

Vitter had the support and backing of the GOP guns in the Senate because they didn't want the possibility of a Dem being appointed to his seat. Luckily for him, his constituents have no problem with hypocracy.

At least Spitzer used his OWN money. This act alone qualifies him as a unique individual among politicians.

I hope his contract has a rider that won't allow him to come back.
