LIMBER UP THOSE DIALING FINGERS
A few more Super Delegates have recognized a bandwagon and announced support for Barack Obama. But that doesn't mean Hillary Clinton will quit before all of them do.
Read about more proof that John McCain caters to lobbyists. He pushed a land swap that helped his backer.
A Republican sex scandal found some resolution yesterday as an ethics panel clear LA Senator David Vitter of wrong doing did nothing wrong with that call girl. His wife quietly agrees.
The rule of late is that there must always be a republican sex scandal. So with Vitter’s wrapping up, NY Rep. Vito Fosella moves into the spotlight. After a drunk driving arrest led to a string of discoveries, we now know he's kept a mistress and bastard child for over three years. Details here, with a photo of the little tyke.
JUST BECAUSE
It’s macabre and it makes no sense. So click the link and explain it to us. A teenager decapitated a corpse to use it for smoking marijuana. How?
FOLLOW UP: A New York City bedbug expert says the city’s subway system is infested. We ask, “what is a bedbug expert?” Derm?
A living leather jacket made from mouse stem cells had to be
euthanized it was part of an art exhibit in the MoMa so the curator pulled the plug.
And much, much more …
Your responses to the lady-caller who was talking about bankrupt
cy: Whatever the woman DID know, you discounted, for your own reasons. Your point about how most voters are all about their feelings and not enough about knowledge is partly the product of how you are treating them.
I agree people SHOULD know more, but I also think that in order to get them to learn more, at least some of those who do meet your standards for worthy discourse, including yourself, should respect emotional understanding more, rather than trying to force everyone to conform to what you think. Afterall Lionel, you demonstrate your feelings constantly and all of us listen, with whatever respect we are capable of mustering, even though it borders on boring sometimes. I think you owe as much to your callers.
"...And where there had been just a makeshift hut to receive the music,
A shelter nailed up out of our darkest longing,
With an entry-way that shuddered in the wind,
You built a temple deep inside their hearing."
R.M. Rilke
