I Hung Up On Barack Obama, Joe Biden...and the Pope
From now on, just to be sure, whether it's the IRS, Vladimir Putin, Arianna Huffington or even George Clooney, I'm playing it safe.

Here is one Democrat's assessment of who might be seated around the Cabinet Room table shortly after January 20, 2009 if Obama is elected president.
George H.W. Bush became famous for attending funerals on Ronald Reagan's behalf. Does Obama have something more planned for Biden?
As secretary of state, protocol will dictate that Clinton sit immediately to the right of Obama in cabinet meetings, making for great photos and a fascinating dynamic.
Hillary? Think about it. It's the ultimate Big Gesture and the world will love it. They won't be able to resist. It will be like having Princess Diana stories all the time.
While many are skeptical that former rivals can actually work together to achieve change, 66 million Americans vested Barack Obama with the responsibility to try.
Sarah Palin: if the stars misalign and you remain a national figure, it would be helpful for you to have at least a cursory understanding of the Constitution and political and economic issues.
Known in DC as a pro-Israel hardliner, he joins Pelosi in bringing to the Middle East peace process a record of support for Tel Aviv's targeted assassinations of Palestinian political leaders.
Winners: The Davids - Axelrod and Plouffe: they spearheaded a near flawless campaign. Katie Couric: her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was the turning point in how the country saw Palin -- and by extension John McCain. And she did it in a way that left no room for accusations of being unfair or playing "Gotcha!" Michelle Obama: smarts, grace, style, charm, and a serious "good mommy" vibe -- she's got the whole package. Losers: Joe Lieberman: failed to deliver Democrats, independents, or Jews. And on the way to losing his committee chairmanships. Liddy Dole: her "Godless" ad will be taught in What Not To Do poli sci classes for a century. Joe the Plumber: the clock just hit 15 minutes, and the wakeup call will not be pleasant.
After watching the debate, I am convinced that if the country somehow has a collective mental meltdown and elects Sarah Palin, she will be even more dangerous than Cheney.

7. Isn't afraid of a press conference, sex education, an intellectual, a gay person, stem cell research or as W. called it, "the internets," "3 Shakespeares," or an honest day's work.
Like everyone else in America, I was waiting to see how the match up between Palin and Biden would transpire. Beyond the giddy atmosphere that was bu...
How do I Thank Thee, Sarah Palin? Let me count the ways... (With profound apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.

boosh got lucky for hiring these right wing judges during his administration, king boosh thought he could change the consitution while him and then controlled rethuglican in the house and the senate. the law is the law, only way to change the consitution is by 290 votes approved by the congress, not by the judge...hehehe boosh thought wrong!
Disgusting! This is a slap at the dignity and importance of the office he holds, and at the memory and stature of the many conservative judges there have been who were nevertheless worthy of respect and knew how to conduct themselves. --- As someone above said "Joe was right and Alito just proved it." And boy, did he. -------- Apparently there is going to be a fight for the bottom rung on that ladder - between Alito and Thomas! And at least Thomas doesn't get smarky in public. THANK GOD John McCain was not elected!!!!! McCain I could have dealt with -- the judges he would have appointed to 'please the base' - no way.
Alito is letting his true colors emerge it seems. He sounds like he's preparing for battle with Obama and Biden. Hmmmm....
