Well, I won't be there physically, but many of my elected representatives will be there. It is my fervent hope that they will be able to take a few moments out from doing the peoples work to welcome the new boss. My "peeps" will be there in the spirit of bipartisanship, the hands-across-the-aisle sense that I believe will permeate the next Congress. After all, now that one party controls the legislative and executive branches, the solutions, positive policies, and nationwide remedies will flow across the land. Let me have an A-Man.

I'm just tired of all the what-ifs, the speculation about how we'd be with so-and-so, conjecture regarding this cover versus that.... I'm slowly moving to the school of thought that nothing is going to change until Ralph is out of the picture and new ownership takes dramatic steps to put a successful product on the field. Ralph appears satisfied to trudge along the path he devised decades ago. As they say, "That don't feed the bulldog."

Yep, best I got 'cause it appears that's the best Obama's got....

Of course, there are a number of ways to "share" nuclear technology. For example, "There, see what happens when one explodes in your back yard?"

For twenty-one months of the recent campaign, Obama and his minions ridiculed even the slightest suggestion that Hill'ry had any ability whatsoever in foreign policy. Recall the comments indicating that just being married to the Commander in Chief did not give her any credibility in international affairs. And that hosting foreign service teas did not cumulate as experience on the world stage. And meeting foreign dignitaries as First Lady did not mean she had credibility in foreign affairs. Shazam! She is now the bes' we gots in the land! Damn, when the man said "change" I had no idea it meant a cranial implant for the girl!

connor, check out the definition of censensus before you add the word "all"....

Any chance W will pardon Hill'ry from her terminal sentence of butt stupid?

Oh golly, erynthered, ya'll's not s'posed to criticize a Democrat, and a liberal at that. Y'all's s'posed to nod, smile, and gaze with wonder as the Mz Pelosi, Musta Reid, Prez'dint Obama machine synthesizes into a seamlessly smooth entity that resolves all problems, rises above the petty and delivers the world to the promised land. Can I have an A-man? Save all that po' mouthin for them misguided Republican boys.

I agree, Nita Lowey has the requisite qualifications to be Senator from NYS. She's been around a long time and she has sucked up to the right people, i.e, the Clintons. I also agree with you about Weezy. Old (so she has some chits to cash), long time in grade, in the right party at the moment...what else could possibly be important?

How 'bout "Weezy" Slaughter, she's only about 80 and according to her supporters, she can do no wrong....

How 'bout that Obama fella! He is going to unveil some of his economic plans tomorrow, and those plans will lead to the creation of 2.5 million jobs in the next two years. Good on yer', Barack. So, 2.5 million, plus the 200,000 jobs that Mz Hill'ry promised for NYS (never delivered, but that's water over the dam, right?), totals one smokin' lot of work for us. Wowzer! I can feel the stimulus now...or is that a peristaltic wave I feel....?

So, dev/null, I'm just lookin' at your avitar for the first time. Should I conclude you're full of $#!^, that you're an @$$&*){, that you stand to do business, or is there a deeper meaning, I'm just not seein'?

So, Nita Lowey "deserves" a Senate seat because she was considering running once before? Gee, she is, therefore, loaded with qualifications.... And let's not even think about scouring the bushes for a Kennedy to appoint. Although, maybe Bobby Kennedy should be considered since he appears to have the same qualifications evidenced by Eliot Spitzer!

The words logical and Clinton do not belong in the same post! They are self-aggrandizing schemers who care ONLY for themselves and their power quotent.

And further.... If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got.

So, Rahm Emanual and the guy nominated for AG, they represent (A) Change..with that capital C; (B) A reprise of Clinton appointees; © The tip of that smoky back room iceberg; (D) Washington with a capital W as it always will be. That 20th Century philosopher, Aretha Franklin, said it best: Who's zoomin' who?"

So, yellowline...., anyone who resents paying and paying (and paying) for the same old things over and over is a "righty tighty?" Good one! Maybe you can follow up your disdainful comment with either some liberal blather, or at least some Christian platitudes....?

I'm paying a big share of my current and upcoming taxes for the mortgage bailout, so you don't have to meet your housing payment obligations; I'm paying for the "coupons" you can get to ease the cost of your TV conversion in 2009; I'm subsidizing you winter fuel costs; I'm....well, you get the picture.... So, if you need anything else just let me know. Maybe I can give you a lift on my way to work and have some lunch money for you, too. Oh, social services gives you travel vouchers, well maybe I could drive you somewhere on the weekend. Glad to help, especially since I know you are working extra hard to solve your own problems. Yeah, that's it, solve your own problems. Well, call if you need me. I live in NYS, so I have plenty of extra money after taxes....

So...one can deduce that approximately 100% of us have no clue....

Palin is inflexible, Biden plagarized his way through college, McCain is too old, Obama is too new. So....let's go with a write-in for hmmmmm; OK, how 'bout Al Franken; yeah, that's the one...Franken. No, wait, how about....

You need to understand that we don't have a government to actually govern; we have one to keep the media in stories and provide the rest of us with grins. If we actually wanted to be governed, we would turn the current office holders out and elect caring people....

To cover even more ground (well plowed in previous posts....); there's always my favorite bumper sticker seen in Santa Barbara, CA: "Nuke a baby whale for Jesus"

Wow, am I from another age or what.... I still believe the best way to get your message across is to focus every comment and speech on your own experiences, task maturity, successes and plans for things to come; and virtually ignore the other guy. Why, because I would want voters to know what I will deliver when I'm elected. Bashing my opponent may be de rigeur in most circles, but it "don't feed the bulldog" when it's time to put up or shut up. Oh that's right, that's why I don't understand politicians....

Oh no, have those damn Republicans selected a woman who says what she means and means what she sez....? How did she ever get into politics?

I don't "need" her to do much of anything...except maybe go away.... However, in terms of her relationship with Billy-guy, I believe she should have taken a very specific public stance on her relationship with him, not just let time and the flow of events lead the public to assume whatever is politically in vogue at the moment. (I don't care if she's with him, or not; although being with him might save some other woman from having to suffer him on a long-term basis.) It appears to me that her response to his infidelity was managed by her people, calculated by the mood of the times, and massaged to be vanilla as needed at the moment. Not the way I would like to have elected officials respond to a "crisis." I believe that response to personal crises telegraph potential responses to public, official crises. I also think that by virtue of his having been President, she owes the nation even more explanation of his "role" in her political life. When one enters public life, I believe that person has higher standards to fulfill. As HST said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
