Hillary Clinton continues to gently fulminate in her anti-Barack message, trying hard not to lose the Black base of her party with too much invective. She is also trying desperately to keep alive her fifteen minutes (okay, fifteen years) of fame until the next election cycle. While Barack Fever spreads among the mainstream press like some inmate flu in an insane asylum, Hillary tries to portray the young Illinois Senator as inexperienced, lame, unfit for the highest office. Of course, she believes any male unfit to be president, and she certainly would know. She has been heard to exclaim, "I fault men for every problem in the world." It may be too early to tell, but I have a feeling that this nation is not quite ready for a President who, from behind (and from certain angles in the front) looks like the fat mule in those old "Francis" movies.

Her beloved husband, Bill, was, like Jimmy Carter, a futile man who never met a terrorist he didn't like. Although he tried to act masculine by wearing a manful tie, he was as weak as a little child in fighting the growing Islamofascist movement. Despite overwhelming evidence of his complete failure against terrorism (even after some of that evidence was destroyed by Sandy Berger,) Clinton never issued a "mea culpa" (for those of you in Rio Linda, that roughly translates into "fault mine.") Of course, Bill was always too busy having his "main flute" played by Ms. Lewinsky, et al, to actually attend to the business of protecting this country. Mr. Clinton, in the post-Monica years, rather than denying his sexual conquests to Hillary, now says, "I flaunt 'em. She needs me now, and I can do whatever I want!"

As bad as the prospect of a President Hillary seems, a President Kerry might even be worse. The man who brags, "I am fluent in French!" and proves it by repeating, over and over, "J'étais au Vietnam," would sellout to the enemy (again) even faster than a Clinton would. Fortunately, he has now come to terms with his unelectability, and was heard to mutter, in a mixture of French and English, "La me--unfit pour le President." Fortunately, we will never get to witness the final mute testimony of a Kerry presidency--a mushroom cloud spreading over one or more of our great cities.

Fulminate: Decription of what the fans are going to do to Coach Philip Fulmer of The University of Tennesee if he has a losing season.

The Rudy people sure are loud, you'd think there were more of them given their volume.

I voted for Duncan Hunter.

You mean what the fans will volunteer to do, right?

did you see the little funny at the end of Brit Hume's show last night? i thought brit was going to hurt himself laughing, it had the facial expressions of Veep and pelosi behind Pres Bush at the SOTU and then had a camera trained on what was going on behind the rostrum there and it had nancy running her hand up and down dick's thigh. it was pretty funny.

He's pretty good on tv too.

The odd thing is he might have a better than average shot in the general as he's more protectionist than the average Republican. Dems played the foreign trade card well in 2006.

Of course a Republican who doesn't love China and illegal aliens will probably get absolutely kneecapped by the Chamber of Commerce.

And that is a major problem.

Long shot for sure. He has low name recognition.

And the fact that they keep compressing the primary season shorter and shorter by moving more states earlier and earlier means that you almost have to be a celebrity candidate to win.

Who gives out 'celebrity'? It's the media.

Ergo our enemies pick our candidates.

My son's science teacher loves to fulminate chemicals in class. He knows how to grab the boys' interest.

There were no great fulminations, but some dysfunctional family olympics.

This will bring you up to speed.

Dang, I missed that. Maybe there will be a replay this weekend.

Just heard Homeland Security's code has been cracked by a very small set of people. Oh, we're safe.

Great Science Teacher. I still remember when I mixed soda and vinegar in the garbage disposal and whoosh, I had lava overflowing the sink. I think I used to much soda.

Good morning, Soaring Feather.

I actually went back to bed to get under the warm covers. Been chilly here, too, but not as badly as you are.
