    Annie Oakley and the Snide

    Can't remember where I read up on some Annie Oakley stories; google might have a few. They are outright crazy amazing. If I remember correctly her weapon of choice was the rifle, at least in shows.

    And to be honest, I think it was time for Obama to be a little snide. Hillary needed to be called on her pandering (though I suspect she was, or is, quite a party girl). I wouldn't make it a campaign story, but apparently the crowd of the moment laughed at the joke. Obama has to prove that he isn't a wuss, that he won't just stand there and take it like Kerry did. If he goes too far it will look bad, but if he just takes it, it will be bad as well.
