Good Morning

Good Morning. A nice read. I don't believe I will enter the Pie Contest.

"The president's poll numbers are a reflection of some other numbers: three million jobs lost, a deficit of a half a trillion dollars in one year," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Tony Welch.

Then I suppose they're also a reflection of the decline in unemployment claims, the increase in hiring and the rise of the stock markets (including NASDAQ's highest level of the year, just a couple days ago). Yes, the Dems are so logically consistent.

Take sage oil - improve your memory

[Aggie Mama]

Hello everyone. Just popping in to catch up. My MIL is in town, so I haven't had much time to freep. Saw that lovely photo of Brittney locking lips with Madonna. I hope that all of the moms out there that let their kids dress up like Ms. Spears saw that photo too.

Times must be rough for the Material Girl if she's taken up her skanky mantel again. Can you imagine her kids seeing that on tv?

Summer's End

The days begin to shorten
Autumn comes on
My soul like a mirror
Within me, shadows grow long

Sweet and bitter emotions reflect
Life's strange reverie
Of what came before
And of all that will be

Sharp
Crisp
Autumnal air
Gone are the warm nights
So soothing, so fair

The surrounding light has changed
The focus is clearer
My memories all play for me
Growing somehow ever dearer

Through these days
Of summer's end
Preparing for the winter sleep
The feelings caused by autumn
Are mysterious and deep

I saw that press conference.

Another day that the Beast didn't shower.

And she was so shrill. Her voice is impossible to listen to.

On another note, Hillary and Bill will be meeting with their former White House staff over the weekend for her consideration to run for President. All of her polling shows that she is the strongest candidate against Bush.

Pretty in Pink??

Jeepers, I miss ole crusty. She really looks horrible in any color but at least black doesn't make the ugly scream at you.

On another topic, on the last thread you posted about your local school district asking parents to send in paper towels and the teachers having to clean their classrooms.

Another old liberal (aka teachers union) trick we've had played on our county. I think it started about the time Jeb Bush took office as governor the first time.

I wonder why they're doing it before Arnold takes office.

Thank you for the new thread, I'm finally finished cooking!

Of course, we know we can't believe her any farther than we could throw her, but here's what the press is saying about the Beaste's 2004 run:

ALBANY, N.Y.--A drop in President Bush's poll numbers has increased speculation about New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton jumping into the 2004 Democratic presidential race--a notion the former first lady rejected Friday.

''I am absolutely ruling it out,'' Clinton said during a visit to the New York State Fair in Syracuse. She had insisted in recent months that she will not consider entering the race for president this year even if that is what some Democrats want.

Fueling the speculation has been talk of a fall visit to Iowa, site of the nomination's kickoff caucuses Jan. 19, but no confirmation yet from her staff on whether Clinton will go. A meeting of her fund-raising team next month is expected to include at least some discussion of presidential politics--more likely the 2008 race, said some familiar with planning for the session.

And, there is her own campaign Web site, which includes a section called ''Hill Notes''--a sampling of supportive e-mail messages assembled by her staff. On a recent day, seven of the first 10 messages urged a presidential run, or alluded to the possibility. "Please run for president in 2004. We need you," pleaded one from "Josh B." [His acquaintances call him "Loser Boy"]

Asked about the messages Friday, Patti Solis Doyle, executive director of HILLPAC, Clinton's political action committee, said: "We receive many e-mails in a day, Friends of Hillary posts two or three a day."

Clinton has the celebrity and the fund-raising prowess to overwhelm the crowded Democratic field of nine candidates, even late in the campaign. She has not ruled out a run in 2008. Friends and advisers maintain that she has no interest in 2004. Calling the speculation "unfounded," Harold Ickes, a top political adviser and former White House deputy chief of staff, said simply, "She ain't going to run."

A spokesman for the former first lady also sought to dampen the talk, at least for 2004. "Senator Clinton has repeatedly said that she will serve out her full, six-year term," said Philippe Reines. [If only that term included an orange jumpsuit!]

Not everyone is convinced. "To the extent that Bush's numbers go down--and they've been going down--her consideration of 2004 has to go up," said Maurice Carroll, head of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

A 2004 Democratic victory by another candidate would likely delay any Clinton run for the White House until 2012. link.

We'll know for sure if she's running when she starts a listening tour. She'll canvas the state "listening" to people tell her, she must run for president or we're doomed. Reluctently she'll have to run because her public demands it and have released her from the promise that she would finish her term in the senate.

Here's an exceptionally barf inducing email to hilly:

"Thank you for existing! Thank you for bringing our country through such a wonderful period of time-of prosperity, peace, strong international relations, healing our economy, and what I consider to be the best presidency in history."
-Jason

Thank you for existing? Holy cow!

HLL, you need to send hilly an email for her friendsofhillary site and ask hilly who's picture is on the cover of her book. heh heh heh!

I'm off to visit my FIL for a little birthday celebration. Don't have too much fun while I'm gone. :-)

Good Morning. I'm be absent most of the day, attending the funeral of by DIL's Grandfather.
