Chelsea came up to me after the debate last night and said, “Mom, you’re doing it again.” I said, “What? I smiled, didn’t I?” She said, “Yes, but you’re still obsessing over Barack, and it shows on camera, especially when he touched you tonight.” She’s right. I’m obsessing. Neither Bill nor I have been able … Read More »
Long live Ralph Nader
February 24, 2008
Politics never fails to amaze me. Just when you thought a political candidate was long dead and buried, he rises like a phoenix from the ashes to inspire the electorate. Well, maybe just inspire Tim Russert and the wags that watch Meet the Press. Ralph Nader is at it again. The man is positively the … Read More »
Throwing in the towel
February 22, 2008
Alright, I praised Barack Obama during last night’s presidential debate. More than once. Is that so bad? I felt sympathy for the guy and figured he needed a few good words to build up his spirits. He looked so down and out of it all through the debate. He stammered and stuttered and struggled to … Read More »
My ace in the hole
February 19, 2008
No one should ever think that Hillary Clinton doesn’t know the truth about John McCain and Barack Obama. The truth is, they’re not Americans.

A Preacher and an Undertaker
February 13, 2008

It needs to be something like what Barack uses after he wins a couple of states, but less like a Baptist preacher. It doesn’t look good coming from a middle-aged … Read More »
Funny TV commercials

Patti decided to step down right before I fired her. I think she was tipped off by Donald Trump. His advice was so right on target. Maggie Williams complexion is much better. Like a warm mocha latte. Even better is that Maggie knows how to make me laugh, especially when things don’t look so good. … Read More »
What’s a tear between friends?
February 4, 2008
So a bunch of us from Yale were sitting around a table in New Haven today, when my old friend Penn said, “Welcome home, dear friend. We are so proud of you.” And those damn tears showed up again. There must be a primary election tomorrow. Penn Rhodeen was here with me in the beginning … Read More »
Colored, Negro, Black, Afro-American. Whatever!
February 3, 2008
Newspaper editors love digging up dirt from the past. Even the New York Times plays both sides of the street. They endorse me one day, dig up a little dirt the next day. Yesterday’s brouhaha was a photo the Times dug up from 1960-something or other, and an article where I was quoted using the … Read More »
