Everyone wants a piece of me, including a fellow New Yorker who should know better. Alright, I’m not really a New Yorker, but politics being what it is, even New Yorkers understand opportunity when it knocks, and I’m at the door delivering the goods. They respect that. What they don’t respect is King Kong chest-beating … Read More »
Guess who’s coming to dinner?
September 13, 2007
Our old friend, health care, is back and ready for another march on Washington. This time will be different. Trust me. Back in the day, when Bill was in his prime and I had the time, health care was at the top of my do list. To do items come and go, especially in politics, … Read More »
Who not to piss off in politics
September 12, 2007
There are some people you don’t want to piss off, no matter the situation. Your dentist. Your waitress. Anybody who works on your car or gives money to your political campaign. I love letter carriers as much as I love plumbers and a lot more than I love political consultants and donors looking to buy … Read More »
I hate to give back money
September 11, 2007
Why is it that the fund raisers who are so good at collecting money for politicians are such slime balls?

Suddenly, Oprah Winfrey wants to influence American politics with her … Read More »
Getting to know me is a good thing
September 9, 2007
Once people get to know me then they like me. Everyone says so. That’s what they tell me. That’s a good thing. So getting to know me is a good thing. Al Gore had a similar problem but could never figure out how to get the real Al Gore to show up in public. It’s … Read More »
Obama pokes me with his health care
September 8, 2007
It must be nice not to have a track record to run for president. Obama has a clean slate. No record, no results, no history, no baggage, no experience, yet people still give him money like the power groupies give their panties to Bill. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been a politician, 40 years … Read More »
Flipping faster than John Kerry in a debate
September 7, 2007
He’s at it again. This time I think it’s for real. Larry Craig is ready to leave the senate. Again. Don’t let the door hit your behind on the way out. What a flip flop. Can I say I told you so? See here. Republicans love to compare themselves to Democrats, especially when it comes … Read More »
