Hell Hath No Fury Like a Kennedy Scorned
bumped There’s a reason Teddy Kennedy backed Obama, and it has nothing to do with Bill. Frankly, I knew this from the start. Anyone knowing the history of the John F. Kennedy legacy, especially where Lyndon Johnson is concerned, saw this coming a mile away. I’ve been trying to get the story before mentioning it, [...]

Obama ‘Present’ Votes on Choice Don’t Add Up
The above video comes from Barack Obama’s official presidential website. It’s meant as proof that his “present” votes on choice were the right thing to do and supported by Illinois NOW.

The Presidential Library of George and Bill’s Foundation
The Presidential Library of George, and Bill’s Foundation All of these libraries are obscene, the money, the me-me-me idea of them, all of it. Now I know each president has to have one. It’s tradition. But it really now has gone over the top, mainly because we don’t know how they’re funded. After all, we [...]

The Snub Proven
Case closed. I’ve already proven this (also see here and here), but the videos above, via Mark Ambinder (don’t forget “The View’s” Whoopi verdict), add the final gavel on this case.

California Latinos, the Kennedys, the Clintons, and Barack Obama

THE 21st century world offers ways to tweak your appearance, or alter it altogether, with women finally able to combat directly the comparison that’s always been around. Men look distinguished as they age, while women look old, unattractive, or to use Rush Limbaugh’s favorite comment, who wants to look at a woman with wrinkles? The 2012 plastic surgery statistics are out and the American Society of Plastic Surgery tells the story.
The real question about Hillary is this: When people take a new look at her in the coming years, will they see the past or the future — Mrs. Clinton or Madam President? – Maureen Dowd IT’S A classic front page from Huffington Post, coupled with a post by Jason Linkins, which details what’s been going on.

“Norma Rae is a survivor and for the first time in her life she’s got a chance to become something more… a winner.” – Promo for “Norma Rae” CRITICS like Anne-Marie Slaughter, but especially Maureen I-Love-My-Pearls Dowd, and others [most of whom didn't read the book or do their homework] who are blaming Sheryl Sandberg for being a billionaire Ivy League graduate, while accusing her of letting corporations and government off the hook, are missing a major point.
Great sex doesn’t always just happen. Sometimes, it takes a little planning, especially if — like many Americans — you’ve been in a bit of a sex rut. Do some prep work by turning your bedroom into a love nest: Make the bed (with new, or at least clean, sheets), tidy up, light a candle or two, and queue up a sexy playlist on your iPod.

“Last night I interviewed Jill Stein the presidential candidate for the Green Party on this show. And I confess right now, I should have asked her to just get out of the race.” – Jennifer Granholm, “The War Room” [Current TV] THE ARGUMENT Jennifer Granholm makes above is a tactic that no longer fits the times.
“With that drum magazine, he could have gotten off 50, 60 rounds, even if it was semiautomatic, within one minute,” Chief Oates said. [New York Times] IN THE GAPING MAW of our leadership vacuum stands Aurora Police Chief Daniel Oates, whose resolve, vulnerability and humility inside the vortex of a man made hell revealed what nobody in Congress or either political party has shown in decades.
