We’re about ready to say goodbye to 2007, and hello 2008. All I can say is good riddance to the former, and about time for the latter. Tonight’s boozefest gathering while we countdown the new year is a who’s who of people with money. Rob Reiner called to tell me again to fire Nancy Pelosi … Read More »
One less egg to fry
December 30, 2007
Bill’s cholesterol level is up again. It seems to match my blood pressure during the campaign. We make it a habit to eat breakfast together whenever we can, but no more eggs for Bill. It’s toast and oatmeal from here on out. If I lose these silly little votes in Iowa then Bill can fix … Read More »
The Comeback Kid goes back
December 29, 2007
Divide and conquer, that’s what I say. So I’m out here in Iowa while Bill is up in New Hampshire stumping for votes with only nine days left until the primary. Bill came in second in New Hampshire in 1992, another episode in his quest to remain the Comeback Kid of politics. Sometimes I think … Read More »
3 Question Limit
December 28, 2007
New rule for my staff. From here on out, I want a limit of 3 questions per campaign stop in Iowa. Last week’s no question policy didn’t work. I’m the candidate for change, so I’m changing the rules. Iowa people are so cute, dressed up in their flannel shirts, hats, boots, gloves, and glasses. I … Read More »

Bah humbug
December 26, 2007
Christmas just isn’t what it used to be. It should be a time of family gatherings, great meals, relaxation. Instead, I’m trudging through Iowa cornfields and trying to dodge the snow storms in New Hampshire. Why don’t these people have elections in spring like everyone else? Gift giving is important at Christmas. Here’s a partial … Read More »
The Arkansas Secret
December 25, 2007
When people openly wonder about the secret to Mike Huckabee’s success, Bill and I just smile at each other. We know why. Huckabee is a Baptist minister and was governor of Arkansas. Bill was a Baptist and governor of Arkansas. Both men love the ladies and the limelight. What’s their secret? Put the pieces together. … Read More »
The Christmas Truce
December 24, 2007
Geezuz H. Kriminey, this place is colder than a one-armed well digger’s titty this time of year, and it can only get worse. After all, winter just started here in the frosty flatlands the indians called Iowa. My daily routine is so routine that a blind man without health care could do it. Do what? … Read More »
