Since the official winter weather prognosticator is close to my neck of the woods, here's Phil's official prediction from his website:

Phil Says Six More Weeks of Winter

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I am steaming mad!! All these idiot democrats on the air today talking about the space program not having enough money, so we have to take money away from the DEFENSE DEPARTMENT because it's flush with cash and divert it to NASA!!

Excuse me, Congressman..... but it was MISTER IMPEACHED CLINTON that cut funding to NASA by 40 freakin' percent!!!!

And not to mention that the Defense Department is fighting things called WARS because that imbecile Clinton never took care of business in his 8 years in office.

Sorry for the rant, I am a little on edge from all these morons.

[pubmom]

I share your anger.

Every idiot that voted those morons into office should hang their heads in complete shame. Amazing how when it comes to something like defense the $$$ automatically should be diverted to something else.

Stupid, stupid people.

Let's yank money from Planned Parenthood or some other rotten program instead.

Jose Garcia, a retired NASA technical assistant, said budget cuts throughout the 1990s resulted in the elimination of many safety checks during launch preparations. He went public with his concerns, all the way to President Clinton, but said nothing changed.

"The managers always say, `It's safer than it's ever been. Safety first.' All those words come easy," Garcia said.

Nancy Pelosi is wasting no time getting the Dems, prone to posting presidential criticisms in cant that only a nerd could love, on message with big metaphors. Says plain-talkin' Nancy, "The president's tax plan is a 'Joe Millionaire' tax plan ... it romances middle class Americans with the promise of big bucks, but in the end the surprise is ... they get pennies." ... source

Well rats - I can only hope Phil is phunning us this year.

What's up with rodents having their own websites?

[MaeWest]

I've wondered if some of these stock shenanigans were part of a money laundering scheme funneling money to certain politicians.

[lodwick]

I'm sure that certain politicians got their piece of the pie.

Clinton does another big bucks speaking gig, this time for a pharmaceutical company, story here.

vomitus alert:

SHE doesn't graduate from Oxford until the spring, but Chelsea Clinton may have already lined up a job in New York. The former first daughter has been offered a position with McKinney, the powerhouse consulting firm. "I know she had an interview and got a good offer," a pal of Chelsea's tells New York magazine. Sources say her starting salary would be about $65,000. Page Six

While Cindy Adams reports:

DONNA Brazile, chief adviser to Al Gore during his presidential campaign, now doing a book for Simon & Schuster. Due spring 2004. Before the elections. "I'm dishing it out," she says. "I've worked with the best - Mondale, Geraldine Ferraro, Gore." So what's she going to call this dishing out? "Cooking With Grease: Stirring the Pot in American Politics." So she writing it herself? "Girl," she told me, "I am doing every word." Right. I did not tell Miss Donna I'd heard that a judge once declared Mr. Gore "legally bland."

[Iowa Granny]

We can only hope Chels will give them what they're paying for ;~). What "fun" it will be to discuss 'that'.

Remember a while ago we read that x42 had visited the NY Post and had to look at the Clinton jokes and cartoons on the walls there? Well, now we know what he was doing there -he's written an op-ed:

A REBUILDING CZAR?

By BILL CLINTON

February 3, 2003 -- AS someone who lives near and works in New York City, [ha ha ha] I follow the news about the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan with great interest. I don't have a favorite plan for what should arise from the ashes of Ground Zero, but I have been impressed by the recent imaginative designs and the public's desire to ensure that whatever is built will speak to the ages about what happened to the city on 9/11 and how strongly New York and America rebounded from that tragic day. link to drivel

No doubt, some FOB runs that firm.
