    How do you say "swollen" head in Gaelic? Cos something tells me you know that one just a little too well.

    I just passed it. Haven't read it. It's at yahoo's news page. Here's the headline:

    "Obama expands delegate lead over Clinton"

    I'm gonna go check it out.

  • Yeah, hutman,

  • Rezwho?

    [Read the article: Geraldine Ferraro still needs to apologize]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    How many repeated, resultless, ridiculous times is Rezco gonna get recycled? Whenever I bring up Rezco people ask me if Rezco is an oil company, and I have to tell them "you must be confusing Rezco with Texaco or Conaco," and they look at me and say "oh" but funnily enough Rezco doesn't ring many bells of recognition to most people. But hey, I look at this Rezco thing a lot like a pet rock, maybe if you stare at it long enough it'll walk. Maybe Rezco will hang over Obama a lot like Clinton's Whitewater thing or Lewinsky gate or the Travel office investigation thing or the Bill Clinton purgury case, or the....I think you get the general idea. Keep looking at that rock.

    The only facade I see around here is yours. The facade of some kind of magic Clinton inevitability, fastly falling away like a phoney parlor trick, that the audience has already long ago figured out.

  • Tx. Democrat,

    I'm from the city of Houston, and I gotta tell ya, statements like that one you just made there might just reinforce some of the rep that our great state gets as being regarded as redkneck. Now what do YOU think?

  • Shoot Shawn,

    Just come out of the shadows. Everybody knows you're no democrat - you're a McCainiac. A McCainiac on crack I might add.

    ..is usually for cheap talking chickenshits who are blindly standing in the quicksand of their own candidate's slips, catastrophes, and unaddressed conundrums.

  • I agree

    Clnton deserves better representation than this dim lot of defamers, blamers, and flamers.

    Maybe one day that pet rock will begin to walk and talk, but for now, I'd worry about that big giant Hillary, and her falling bean stalk.

  • Wait a minute...

    [Read the article: Memo to Clinton and Obama: Stop spinning]

    ...what are you saying? Go for who? Go for Obama? I'm all for that.

  • I don't don't know about independents at large...

    But this independent is on for Obama.

  • Scorpio69er, Thanks

    [Read the article: Memo to Clinton and Obama: Stop spinning]

    Thanks. I know what you're saying, I've been saying it too for so long. This plastic kind of put-on republican patriotism is beyond passe. Flag lapel pins, and "Proud American" bumper stickers, they aren't anything but empty advertisements for the once new, and now old and ailing, post 9-11 war wagon. This symbolism over substance isn't in any real sense real patriotism, and the war wagon has begun to bail out faster than you can say "100 years in Iraq." Genuine patriotism often means going against the grain of the gung-ho herd mentality. Look at Hillary Clinton who I'm sure thought her vote of approval for invading Iraq was the "right patriotic thing to do." Well I don't think that her artificial act of plastic patriotism has unfolded out with any good or beneficial benefits for anybody in this country, as more body bags come home, and a shaky surrogate government set up in Iraq tries to survive, as American military advisors vainly try to pacify the whole entire Iraqi population. Clinton thought she'd serve herself best to put her plastic patriotism out there waving and flying high, and look what it gave her and her NY constiuents back, not to mention the entire country? Nada. It gave the country a tree billion dollar bill we'll being paying off until most of us are dead. So what's the next patriot test gonna be? What's the next litmus for falling in line with liars?

  • As an Independent,

    [Read the article: Memo to Clinton and Obama: Stop spinning]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I look at all of this political culture of elitism and defeatism coming from one twilight zone or another as a really supremely stupid and damning way to win one for your party. After 8 years of a ruinous Republican administration why would independents like myself rule out voting for a Democrat? I'm an IDEPENDENT, which by definition means I don't vote by party ideologies, or who some hallowed political party hack says has the best chance of being the champion of ANY party's political agenda with regard to one candidate or the other. I'm sure that at least a sizeably small number of disaffected Republicans are numb enough looking at what the neoconners have done to their party and will accept a Democratic cadidate as an alternative to what is in the end on offer for them, namely Mister Inane McCain. Most Republicans seem to think McCain is a softy with a liberal center, so I seriously doubt there's gonna be a rush of Republicans fawning over him as their favorite son. You can speculate all you want to on whether they'll gravitate to Obama or Clinton, but all things even, you'll never really accurtely know until the election votes reveal themselves. I'd defy any petty punditing dipshit to call that one. I sure as hell can't pundit what the possibilities are with disaffected Republicans, all I know is their people have trucked in disaster for too damn long, but amongst my many friends who are free and unencumbered by party affiliations, the choice is overwhelmingly Obama.

  • I wonder...

    As Hillary and the USO troubadores were searching for a place to eat, did Clinton also take out an entire serb batallion with a wooden stick?

  • I know that the USO is all about show business...

    [Read the article: Hillary Clinton, sniper fire and Sinbad]

    ...but I wonder how amused the men and women Hillary sent off to Iraq are, upon hearing of her hair raising "heroic" adventures in the Balkans with a comedian and a pop star?
