~ nobel peace prize quote:
if pretty words alone could provide leadership, then why not just give the presidency and the Peace Prize to a Hemingway novel?”
-Todd Harris, a Republican strategist.
it sounds to us like ‘Todd Harris’ has never read a ‘Hemingway novel’

bullshit.
~ while the rest of us – or maybe 3% of us – struggle to pay our energy bills, yet still freeze our asses off whilst wearing four (4) layers indoors, obama likes to keep it warm enough to sit around in his shirtsleeves in january:
Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.
“He”s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama”s senior adviser, David Axelrod”
yet, a day or so earlier, he was admonishing the relatively southern city of washington, dc, because they don’t have enough snow shovels or mr. plows:
“My children’s school was canceled today,” Obama said, speaking to reporters before a meeting with business leaders. “Because of what? Some ice? . . . We’re going to have to apply some flinty Chicago toughness to this town.”
despite obama’s strange ability to navigate blizzards with aplomb yet still be uncomfortable in a 64 degree room, and notwithstanding obama’s lack of ‘concern’ for either frugality or for the fate of those remaining polar bears perched on disappearing ice floes as the white house burns more than enough fuel, why can’t anyone determine where he is from – hawaii or illinois? i guess lincoln must have claimed to be from more than one state, too. meanwhile, jimmy carter was indisputably from georgia, and he installed solar panels on the white house.
“Kennedy’s withdrawal would leave New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo as a front-runner for the job. Cuomo is a former cabinet secretary under President Bill Clinton and the son of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo.”
of course he is.

“On January 20th, President-elect Barack Obama will take the oath of office using the same Bible upon which President Lincoln was sworn in at his first inauguration.”
good grief, is there is no end to this hack? first he read ‘team of rivals’ and has to take a train tour to the inauguration, now he needs to use king linkum the first’s bible. i wonder if he also plans to end his presidential career in the same way as the great emancipator?
did lincoln also have a ‘god hates fags’ speaker at his inauguration?

“Bill Clinton open to role in Obama administration – Politico”
wow! that is actually a big surprise. bill clinton will accept a political offer. we sympathize with the torment clinton must have undergone before he decided: ‘yes, ok, i guess i’ll take a free job, since i’m not allowed to take free money from foreigners for the next four years.’
if anyone at politico wants to give us a call, we have a list of roles – amongst other things – to which we would be open, also. all you have to do is ask.
“ATLANTA – Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss enlisted Sarah Palin to rally conservatives while Democratic challenger Jim Martin pushed to activate black voters, as they grappled for advantage in a Tuesday runoff that will shape Democrats’ hold on power in Washington.
Palin, the Alaska governor who was John McCain’s vice presidential running mate, was to arrive in Georgia for a private fundraiser Sunday night, followed by rallies across the state Monday.”
that’s excellent. even a fucking clown like sarah palin understands the importance of going down to georgia to support some cartoonish oaf from her party in his reelection bid. similarly, one would think that during the last four weeks, barack obama could have pulled himself away from disappointing his supporters for a few hours to go to hiram or macon and get some attention for jim martin. instead, he hasn’t done shit, and on the final day of the campaign, when palin will be spouting who knows what lies and getting saxby reelected, apparently obama will be throwing hillary’s state department coming out party and stroking off all of the pumas who feel he owns them payback.
but i’m sure obama is more broadly minded that we are; by letting saxby continue to hold georgia’s seat fits in with his rhetoric about ‘reaching across the aisle’ and ‘rewarding your rivals’ or whatever equivocating, pandering, douchebag nonsense defines ‘change’.
