Of course if the windows just can't wait hire a handsome window washer!
You're just kidding about the Windex right? I can't remember the last time I bought a can of Windex.
A bucket of slightly soapy water, 3-M dusting cloth and my Master Squeegee are my tools of choice. And with all the windows and mirrors we have in our home it saves lots of time and money. And elbow grease.
I have some errands to run this morning but first I'll go see what's up in the world of gossip.
Glad you got back in time to revel in our victory! The libs are getting shrill again, the NAGS are on the warpath. I'll hunt down the story I was reading this morning for anyone who might have missed it. It's a hoot!
Now for a little gossip.
What will Mario say? Republicans changed his wife's life?! Oh how very delicious!
THAT Matilda Cuomo has already lined up Secretary of State Colin Powell and Sen. John McCain for "The Person Who Changed My Life, Volume II, which will launch in early January with a party at Le Cirque . . .Page Six
THINGS have gone downhill for Rick James since his "Superfreak" days. On Saturday, James arrived uninvited in a white stretch limo at the John Varvatos store in L.A., where David Schwimmer was hosting a Stuart House benefit. After mingling with Henry Simmons, Donovan Leitch and Tim Allen, James attempted to take advantage of the event's 25 percent discount and tried to buy a bundle of leather items - only to be turned away when his credit card was declined. "He hightailed it out of there after that," said our spy. Page Six
THE stunning election-night success left White House spokesman Ari Fleischer feeling a little bolder in his usual testy briefing with reporters yesterday. When Helen Thomas, the dean of the press corps - who is more outspokenly liberal than her peers - asked Fleischer if George Bush believed the election results gave him a "mandate" for "going to war with Iraq, privatizing Social Security, weakening the Civil Service Commission and so forth?" Fleischer told the ancient reporter: "Helen, you sound like a commercial that didn't work." Page Six
Question of the week: How many boxes of Correctal has Helen been downing since yesterday?

THE politicking's over. Now it can be told. In October, the prez gave brother Jeb Bush, then ringing doorbells so he could stay Florida's governor, this advice: "Even though the election is still weeks away, it's never too early to demand a recount."
November 07, 2002 - Some came in groups, others alone, but they all came with the same goal in mind — to purchase tickets to see former President Bill Clinton speak at the Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts. Nearly 100 UC Davis students spent Tuesday night in front of the Mondavi Center in anticipation of ticket sales at 10 a.m. Wednesday morning.
.... The prospect of hearing Clinton speak motivated many students to spend a night in the chilly outdoors. Some students noted that it would be an experience worthy of telling grandchildren, while others said that listening to Clinton would serve to expose their minds to great ideas.
“We grew up with Bill Clinton,” Tang said. “He was our idol.”
Sparks had a more casual reason for staying overnight for tickets. “It gave me a good excuse to miss ROTC,” he said. full story.
This poorly written story from the UC-Davis newspaper fails to indicate exactly when Clinton is speaking there, but I believe it's on Friday.
“The pursuit of Bill Clinton started some months ago, when we were made aware that he was speaking in the Bay Area,” said Dave Webb, director of audience development at the Mondavi Center. “We were fortunate to grab a date at the end of his stay there.”
Webb initiated the contact with Clinton’s representatives and headed up the difficult negotiations.[The difficult part was deciding how many girls the university would provide] He did not know what topics Clinton would address, but said that the former president usually scripts some of his speech in advance.
“What we learned in programming his lecture is that he puts together some prepared and some extemporaneous comments,” Webb said. “He’s known for talking about current and regional events, and he puts things together in his own brilliant way.”
Marketing Manager Paul Dorn stressed that the arrangement with Clinton prohibited Mondavi Center officials from discussing terms and amounts of payment, but if the fees are in keeping with past prices, it will be a costly speech. Over the past year, Clinton has delivered dozens of speeches with an average cost of approximately $150,000 per appearance, though the numbers have been as high as $250,000, as it was for a May speech in China.
Webb said UCD hopes to recoup some of the costs through ticket sales, but deferred further questions to Mondavi Center Director Brian McCurdy, who was not immediately available. The speech is not a part of the Mondavi Center’s Distinguished Speaker Series, but rather is a special event. Ticket prices for the event start at $55 for general admission; student prices start at $27.50. full story

California freepers: your tax dollars at work.
(Rep. Kent) Bentsen, nephew of former senator and treasury secretary Lloyd Bentsen, told us the elected Democrats didn't offer a vision and were far too accommodating to the enemy. "The Democrats tried the Neville Chamberlain approach and it was a disaster." Hmmmm. Does that mean Tuesday night was like the invasion of Poland, with the president in the role of you-know-who? Bentsen, who ran unsuccessfully for his party's Senate nomination, wouldn't answer -- apparently reluctant to pursue his metaphor to its logical conclusion.
Why not? Since when are Dems reluctant to call the president hyperbolic names, least of all "Hitler"? full column.

Love the look of surprize on her face.

I pulled the lever under the Republican line. And I cast my vote for George Pataki.
My, that felt good.
New York's longtime love affair with the Democratic Party is in its death throes. It's over, except for the whining.
In this city, positively stinkin' with Democrats, the party to which my immigrant parents once pledged loyalty has failed to notice that people like me feel increasingly taken for granted, misunderstood, misrepresented - or even outright betrayed.
Even my formerly Socialist mom now routinely votes Republican.
