The three-way race for second place
September 21, 2007
It’s a long race and anything can happen. That’s the official line. After all, no one has cast a vote yet. The unofficial line is much different. Even before the first votes the whole Democratic presidential campaign has become a three way race for second place. Obama, Edwards, and probably someone else. You know what … Read More »

September 20, 2007
Back in the day we tried to get health care for everyone who wanted it. The problem was that those who didn’t want it were in congress. Guess what? I’m baaaaack.

I take a licking, and keep on sticking
September 16, 2007
I can take a joke as well as anyone. Every member of the Clinton family knows how to roll with the punches. The latest punch is a joke making the rounds in Washington about the Hillary Clinton Commemorative Stamp. Please. If you’ve just eaten or have a weak stomach, turn the TV on to Fox … Read More »
I love a man in uniform
September 15, 2007
There’s something about good discipline that requires a uniform. A man in uniform looks polished, dignified, in control. When I become Commander-in-Chief I’ll see about getting a uniform. Bill would look good in a unform. So does General Wesley Clark. The gray hair, the reserved smile, the crisp uniform, and all those medals– it just … Read More »
