I don't see Florida as that pivotal, execpt for Rudy, since he put all his eggs in that basket. It's a place I would expect McCain to do well, and with Huck basically out of the picture, McCain becomes the Liberal canidate of choice.

I posted on another thread about the danger of one party controlling all three branches of govt. If the house was controlled by reps, I think MCain would be a good choice. But with the likely control of congress in the spendy dems hands, it will be interesting to see if McCain would move right on spending to be a 'maverick' or will he just join in. Frankly, the left will make a huge issue of his age and beat him up bad. He will be the media darling up until the conventions are over then whatch them turn on him like the mad dogs they are.
It's looking more and more like a dem sweep of govt. Buy gold, here comes more inflation.

Does anybody remember the Keating 5 in the Savings & Loan debacle? I'll bet James Carville does.

A reliable member of the Looney Left get's a whiff of coffee

Liberal progressive credentials surely vouch-safed, an intrepid columnist raises the speculation that Bill Clinton's enemies were right all along. Of course they weren't right about most things, but maybe???

This dim-bulb doesn't even read his own party's manifesto's. "Sexual predators always repeat their crimes" being the most notable one he's skipped over. Long before Clinton was ever elected President there was evidence of his nature, and his wife's. In a story on "Trooper-gate" the American Spectator revealed that Gennifer Flowers was hardly the first in a line of Clintonian excesses. The basis of the story? Clinton's state trooper security detail.

Our Rip van Winkle of correspondents has awoken and found the Clinton's naked lust for power to be, well, shocking. Perhaps his obtuseness is why circulation is down at the New Republic. Well, aside from those made-up dispatches from an American soldier detailing the war crimes of himself and other members of the Army. The attacks on Obama come as a surprise to our Pulitzer in waiting writer. Yet he confidently contends that there was a vast right wing conspiracy against the Clinton's. The only "conspiracy" against the Clinton's is the one they see when anyone stands in their way of achieving wealth and power.

For a good laugh: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/...7890763.column

Note: this posting is a result of recent messages that fail to find me less than fair and balanced. From time to time I will post items from the Looney Left, which I'm not supposed to call them, in the interest of objectivity. The fact that the items are looney, written by loonies, for the consumption of looney's is beyond my control. I can't be responsible for everything. And these guys are funnier than I am. Not quite NYT funny, but close.

Officially, this is a joke but there's a lot of truth in it too!


A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous
pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a
dust cloud towards him.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses
and a YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, 'If I tell you
exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me
a calf?'

Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully
grazing herd and calmly answers, 'Sure, Why not?'

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects
it to his Cingular BLUETOOTH cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the
Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his
location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the
area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports
it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has
been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database
through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry
and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech,
miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and
says, 'You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.'

'That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,' says Bud.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as
the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the Bud says to the young man, 'Hey, if I can tell you exactly what
your business is, will you give me back my calf?'

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, 'Okay, why
not?'

'You're a Congressman for the U.S.Government', says Bud.

'Wow! That's correct,' says the yuppie, 'but how did you guess that?'

'No guessing required.' answered the cowboy. 'You showed up here even
though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already
knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter
than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows...this is a herd
of sheep. . . .

Now give me back my dog.
