When I hear Senator Kamala Harris speak, I am emotionally turned off, and I couldn't figure out why. But then the light bulb went off. The ability to be attractive is a tool that humans have used for as long as they have walked upright and sought to gain power, control, and influence. In social groups, when one is attractive, things can come much easier than for one deemed otherwise. Largely subjective, the ways people exhibit attractiveness are as different as we are all. There are, however, some broad styles of allure that can be identified, such as seductiveness, which...

Hillary Clinton is expected to make her plans to run for president in 2016 official at any moment. And this week she's hitting the stage, with Bill by her side, for her debut in a new starring role, but not the one you think. These two Washington royals invite you to join them not for Hillary’s long-anticipated announcement, but instead to watch as they sing and dance their way through the drama of the infamously scandal-clad Clinton White House, laughing all the way. But don’t expect the real-life Hillary and Bill Clinton showing off their acting chops. In the new...

Video at link. I do hear that President Obama will let Hillary Clinton tour a tire factory this week so she can at least match a dress to the tire tread, but one way or the other, Hillary Clinton is now going under the Obama bus. Joe Biden began the effort to throw Hillary under the bus in the debate Thursday night. He said the White House never knew about additional security requests. With a town hall style Presidential debate tomorrow night, Barack Obama needed plausible deniability. Hillary Clinton gave it to him on CNN. She said she took full...

Boehner: Obama Health-Care Speech ‘Will Try to Put Lipstick on this Pig’ Wednesday, September 09, 2009 By Nicholas Ballasy and Edwin Mora Washington (CNSNews.com – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Wednesday that President Obama will “try to put lipstick on this pig and call it something else” when the president addresses Congress tonight on health-care reform. “I think we’re all interested in what he (Obama) has to say, but I hope he’s been listening to the American people,” Boehner told reporters. “I think over the course of August they’ve raised their voices loud and clear that they don’t...

Aides to President Barack Obama are putting the final touches on a new strategy to help Democrats recover from a brutal August recess by specifying what Obama wants to see in a compromise health care deal and directly confronting other trouble spots, West Wing officials tell POLITICO. Obama is considering detailing his health-care demands in a major speech as soon as next week, when Congress returns from the August recess. And although House leaders have said their members will demand the inclusion of a public insurance option, Obama has no plans to insist on it himself, the officials said. “We’re...

Barack Obama has descended further into audacity yesterday when he called Sarah Palin a pig. Amy Chozick of the Washington Post reports:What’s the difference between a more hopeful kind of politics and old-fashioned attacks? Lipstick. Barack Obama says the John McCain-Sarah Palin policies don’t represent change, they’re “just calling the same thing something different.” “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” Obama said during a town-hall style event here Tuesday night. The comment played on Republican vice presidential candidate Palin’s joke during the Republican National Convention that the only difference between a pit bull and...

WASHINGTON — The Marines, in full dress uniform, perform their summer drills in silence, flipping their rifles in near-perfect precision in front of the Iwo Jima memorial, illuminated by the glow of sunset. One man, the guest of honor, stands stock-straight at the center of the pageantry, Marines on both sides, watching as they pass. Order. Precision. Tradition. Just across the Potomac River from his Senate office, this is Jim Webb's world. The first-term senator from Virginia has built a life around a deep love for the military. His sons have followed him, with one serving in the Marines in...

I was listening to the Sean Hannity show today and he said that Hillary Clinton, in an effort to show us her "softer" side, said she likes to "organize her closet". This raises some interesting questions.Question 1: Would this be the same closet where she found those Whitewater billing records? And if so, how good could she possibly be at this "organizing" thing?Question 2: Don't you have to have a special permit or something to handle so many skeletons?Question 3: How long before Bill ends up in there?

SNIP.... MINOR EDITINGMAC Cosmetics has censored Sandra Bernhard for bashing the GOP. The cosmetics giant, owned by Estée Lauder, got hundreds of complaints after it posted an online ad this week for its Plushglass lip gloss in which the balloon-lipped comic does some free-form ranting, including a riff about an "intimidated, frightened, right-wing Republican thin-lipped bitch." But Mac oddly didn't cut a line in which Bernhard cheekily discusses the bodily fluids of a horny barnyard bird.

A majority of people who moved out of Massachusetts last year report they are very satisfied with life in their new state and would not move back, a Boston Globe poll has found. Seventy-three percent of those surveyed said they live in a home that is bigger than their home in Massachusetts was. Fifty-four percent said their standard of living is higher now. The top reason people gave for leaving Massachusetts was a better job, followed by the cost of housing, family ties, and the weather. In a separate set of questions, 50 percent of those surveyed said the cost...
