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? Today we had to give back over $850,000 in campaign funds collected by some guy named Norman Hsu from Hong Kong. I don’t even remember meeting him. Chinese men look so much alike. Now I … Read More »
Obama and Oprah in ’08?
September 10, 2007
What is it about women with money and power? Take a pretty face, add on a few pounds, park it in front of a TV camera, let it talk about anything and everything all the time, and the resulting media power surges to the brain. 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 »
Pavarotti is dead and good riddance
September 6, 2007
That big Italian singer, Luciano Pavarotti, finally died. I thought he was much older than 71. Italians don’t age well when they eat too much. Live hard, die hard. We met Pavarotti a couple of times at official functions in the White House. “Big Luciano” was probably big in a number of ways, and not … Read More »
Don’t eat the food at a political fund raiser
September 5, 2007
I’m serious. It would be difficult for fund raiser food to be more tasteless and less filling if you lived in Arkansas. Fund raisers are good for finances, bad for body, bad for taste buds, but a good place to learn to lie on your feet. Lie as in not tell the truth about what … Read More »
