Well, of course, we want him to run. But, quite frankly, it isn't TIME to begin the campaign just yet. Why couldn't he just climb in a hole and come out next fall, when people are ready to pay attention to the pre primary activities.

As usual, you're right, IG.

Meanwhile, BREAKING NEWS!
Treas-Sec Paul O'Neil has submitted his resignation.

It's a good thing.

Would someone please explain to me the recent Whitney Houston revelations?

Did she say she IS a drug/sex addict? Or that she WAS? (Did she explain what a sex addict means?). Did anyone see the interview? Was she high?

[ewing]

I think Whitney admitted she was a casual pot user and a sex addict.

Thank you for the Dowd link - don't miss this one folks.

Whoa!

WH Economics Advisor, Larry Lyndsey, has also resigned!

Here's another good one:

GEORGE W. BUSH
At the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

"With the lighting of the National Christmas Tree, we observe one of the great traditions of our nation's capital. And throughout the Christmas season, we recall that God's love is found in humble places, and God's peace is offered to all of us. ... The simple story we remember during this season speaks to every generation. It is the story of a quiet birth in a little town, on the margins of an indifferent empire. Yet that single event set the direction of history and still changes millions of lives. For over two millennia, Christmas has carried the message that God is with us -- and, because He's with us, we can always live in hope.” [Beautiful!]

Pageant for Peace Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

"Thank you. Thank you very much, Peter. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a wonderful ceremony every year, but this year it has been very special. I want to thank Wayne Newton and Renee Fleming, Marty Stuart, Al Roker -- he's a good Santa Clause. (Laughter.) I want to thank the cast from "Chicago," and Ricky Payton and the Urban National Youth Choir; and, of course, Colonel Tim Foley and the Marine Corps Band, the President's own.

The best perk of the presidency is the Marine Corps Band, and I want to give them all a hand. They've been wonderful. (Applause.)

For over 85 years now, our country has gathered around our National Christmas Tree to celebrate the beginning of this wonderful season of peace and hope. I am honored once again to be part of a tradition I have come to look forward to every year. For me, Christmas always starts now with the Pageant of Peace and the lighting of this beautiful Colorado spruce. And I am especially honored to be here to light the last tree of the 20th century.

In this sacred season, it is time for all of us to renew our commitment to give of ourselves, to reach out to those who are less fortunate, to reach out to those who are different from us, to build the one America of our dreams. In this Pageant of Peace, we celebrate Christmas, also the season of Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa, and others -- all joined by a simple and universal message: that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves.

This holiday season, we Americans have an awful lot to be thankful for. Our nation is at peace, and all around the world we are privileged to make peace. From Bosnia, to Northern Ireland, to the Middle East -- the land where a homeless child grew up to be the Prince of Peace.

Just today, in this season, I was proud to announce that after a long, long stalemate, the Israelis and the Syrians have agreed to meet again in just a few days to make their peace. (Applause.)

At the dawn of a new millennium, as we enjoy these wonderful performers and the timeless songs of all of our childhoods, let us rededicate ourselves to the true spirit of Christmas. As we light the National Christmas Tree, let us spread the light of peace and goodwill toward our family, our friends, our neighbors, and all those across the world, especially those who need it most.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and God bless you.

I'd like to ask, now, the young scouts to come up and join me in lighting the Christmas tree. Caitlin Fong and Chris Alvarez -- they're going to come up here. And didn't they do a good job? Let's give them another hand. (Applause.)

Unlike the sissies, like me, they did it without any coats on, either. I thought they were wonderful. All right, you put your hands on the switch now, and I'm going to count from three down to one and tell you to flip it, okay? Ready? Three, two, one, go. (Applause.) Good job."
[Where's my barf bag?]

Just out of curiousity, I did a search on the word, "I".
George W. Bush: 0
Bill Clinton: 10

The above must be attributed to (again, my favorite columnist) David Frum. LINK

Quite a contrast - but we've known that all along.

Everyone have a blessed day here.

Actually Ben Affleck and Britney had a 2 year affair.It was still on when things were heating up with J-Ho last spring ( you know, last spring when Ho had been married to her current husband for 6 months and lamenting that she will never find love).

Britney threw her Affleck affair in Timberlake's face when they were breaking up. ( It's sick that I know this stuff)

[ewing]

Man, HLL you are way ahead of me..I don't get the tabs until today!!

[Endeavor]

And you guys are surprised by this ( the Henry Gonzales family genes participating in Playboy)? Let's face it people, some of us know that trailer trash breeds trailer trash. Ben Affleck should wise up - actually, he should have already wised up but he's hopelessly entangled, much to his own unfortunate, but predictable, stupidity. Good people breed good people. Twisted people breed twisted people. This isn't rocket science -- we should all have a clue by now.

[lodwick]

Dang - has someone executed this thread?

Thanks for the heads-up on our latest Playmate. If only all attorneys looked and dressed like this - what a wonderful world it would be.

Probably lots more cases would be settled out of court, as an upside.

[Iowa Granny]

wanted to thank you for sending me the email. Unfortunately I cannot open the link because of some troubles with the computer.

My computer was all screwed up last night when I got home, and perhaps I did even more damage as I tried to correct the problems created by my very non techie husband.

I heard at a meeting today that the Cedar Rapids Gazette reported this morning about absentee ballots turning up in Des Moines. I went over the paper with a fine tooth comb and didn't find the article. I'm hoping this is the info that is in your email.

More tabloid stuff....

In the Las Vegas Journal-Review:

Jennifer Lopez is clamping down on fiance Ben Affleck's legendary tipping habits.

During their Thanksgiving holiday visit, Hollywood's hottest couple was at a baccarat table at The Mirage, and my spies tell me Affleck was on a roll.

When he tossed a $5,000 white chip to the dealers, J.Lo told him "no," retrieved the chip, and put it in her pocket book. Then she reached over and took three of Affleck's $100 black chips and pushed them across the table.

Affleck took J.Lo's family members on a shopping frenzy Nov. 28 and 29, buying clothes at the Forum Shops at Caesars and two Mercedes-Benz automobiles at Fletcher Jones Imports.

Affleck twice distributed tips of about $150,000 after big wins at the Hard Rock in the past 2 1/2 years.

This is so sad, but PR ho's (not to discriminate - all Ho's) are all about the $$$. I hate to say it, but it's true.

Apologies to any lurking Ho's. Luv ya.

[Endeavor]

You crack me up!

[Iowa Granny]

Sorry to smash your theory, but all Ho's are about $$$. Silly Boy.
