Gas Tax Holiday Pandering
If it’s an election, there is pandering. That doesn’t mean it won’t sway voters. It also doesn’t mean that short-term relief has anything to do with long-term plans, which includes Hillary Clinton stumping for a gas tax holiday. “She has been criticized by her opponent and by others, who say, ‘Oh, it is just pandering [...]

Clinton in Indiana
Click on the demand feature, then select the video at the right. Of course she’s correct, because a lot is at stake: Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday it would be “the height of political foolishness” for Democrats to back a Republican, or not vote at all, if they’re disappointed by the outcome of the long-running [...]

Got Judgment… Credibility?
Obama’s sudden divorce from Rev. Wright is curious. After all, he’d already denounced Wright’s comments. So why the sudden press conference? It’s not like it’s going to quiet the controversy. … .. Obama’s Wright compulsion drove him to deliver a defensive and apologetic so-called race speech in which Wright was the centerpiece. Next, he denounced [...]

What a Day for Hillary
I love this endorsement. Nothing like a southern gentleman’s charms. Of course, I appreciate this type of genuflecting to girls, though I realize others do not. For me, it doesn’t interfere with my feminism. I appreciate the sentiment behind it. We love you, North Carolinians! Meanwhile, Rush proves his ego knows no bounds. A Michigan [...]

Down Ticket Dem Stiff-arms Obama

Another Big Clinton Endorsement, While Wright Polling Revealed
Missourian Rep. Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has endorsed Hillary Clinton. Skelton is one of those average, lunch bucket Democrats, who live in the rural midwest. He’s also a national security leader, another one on Clinton’s side. But if you’re wondering why Obama stepped up today to “divorce” Rev. Wright, as [...]

“Whatever relationship I had with Reverend Wright has changed as a consequence of this,” Obama said. Obama’s candidacy is in freefall. So Operation Save My Superdelegate Support begins.

WIN A BOOK: Why Should Superdelegates Pick Clinton?
Buy Sidney’s book. Charlie Cook: One superdelegate in a Southern state, clearly a Clinton sympathizer, said it would be political suicide for him to oppose Obama, pointing out that the black community would be furious. The best support he could offer Clinton would be to remain neutral until it’s over. One of the most salient [...]

TM Must Reads
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.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy “Here’s what nobody is telling you: Find a husband on campus before you graduate. Yes, I went there.
“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.
“You Don’t Own Me” PSA -Official from You Don't Own Me on Vimeo. WHO DOESN’T know the song “You Don’t Own Me,” sung by Leslie Gore? The movie First Wives Club helped to reignite the relevancy of the song.
“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. Leadership without regard to anything but his own duty to the people, which included the cops in the eye of volcanic carnage.
“Rick Doblin has done a lot for the field, but he is more of a populist,” Grob says. “We need careful and controlled scientific studies showing the efficacy of these drugs so funding can continue.” Broader awareness of these sorts of end-of-life psychedelic studies could be good for everyone, the researchers say.
*updated below* So much for keep calm and carry on, what Joe Scarborough proclaims to be his motto. It was the weirdest one-on-one back and forth with a high profile talking head imaginable. It makes high school look mature.

Despite rising public concern about the federal budget deficit, Americans favor keeping Social Security and Medicare benefits as they are rather than taking steps to reduce the budget deficit (by 60% vs. 32%). – Public Wants Changes in Entitlements, Not Changes in Benefits This is starting early, so it’s time to revisit the facts.
“If we can prove that a biological attack originated in a country that attacked us, then all bets are off.” – Sect. Hillary Clinton Women can do it, too.
