"I am still unsure about what Humpty Dumpty represented to me on that day, because I do not subscribe to -- and I even resent -- the theory that America's arrogance, even indirectly, led to the attacks. It just seemed as though the world were falling down, like Humpty Dumpty."

Yes, she is! And the article in the UK Independent yesterday is even trying to pass her off as a Rhodes Scholar! I have never heard that she was awarded one of the Rhodes scholarship. Just because she goes to Oxford doesn't mean she's a Rhodes scholar, does it? I don't think so.
"My best friend Tiffany helped a whole, whole lot when she explained that the tragedy would stop people from using so much oil and the earth would be a cleaner place. But still I worried. The Bush tax cuts were on my mind. I could not sleep thinking about them. So one night at 2AM, I called my best friend Bruce."Bruce, I am so fearful of the Republican tax cuts," I said.
"Chelsea, good will come of this. You know how Bush and Christians have been persecuting and killing my people. But now they are killing Afghans. Gays will no longer be tied to posts, beaten and set on fire. Conservatives are too busy," he said.
"Oh dear, dear Brucie , " I sobbed, "I feel so much better now. You are the best friend in the whole world."
For the first time in weeks, I slept until dawn.
That would have been the "nanny" in Little Rock, who was actually on the payroll of the police dept., I'm pretty sure. That way, the clintoons got away without paying for the services of a real nanny.
Literally, "I am a pastry".
Do a search on Google for "berliner brot" for lots of nice german pastry recipes.
With the Clinton folks, I think you've got yourself enough material for a very, very long-lived situation comedy.
*snip*
Clinton spent some time in Little Rock yesterday. He was 45 minutes late to his own fund-raiser (what's new) and spent 15 minutes shaking hands and posing for pictures. About 300 people paid $100 each for a luncheon of Froglegs and catfish.
He then spent some time at the Statehouse Convention Center boring a crowd of about 800, giving them a half-hearted lecture, stressing that "We're going to be OK. I am grateful for the unity our country has shown behind President Bush and his national security team". (We all believe this?)
He talked about Chelsea's experience in the WTC bombing. "She fled to Grand Central Station and had to run away once again during a bomb scare". "Chelsea said,'Dad, I thought there was a good chance we were all going to die,'"Clinton told the crowd. (Clinton is exceptional at telling stories).

any New Yorkers know how far Grand Central is from Union Square????

Here' her story on September 26:
Chelsea to Chronicle Harrowing Twin Tower Escape
Chelsea Clinton is set to tell the world about her alleged brush with death in the World Trade Center collapse, and how her last-minute decision to go for coffee instead of a jog around the Twin Towers saved her from a horrible fate.
That and the six Secret Service agents still assigned to protect her.
While it's unclear whether her bodyguards will rate a mention in the piece she's been invited to pen for the November issue of Talk magazine, you can bet her screed will be a real page-turner.
We won't be a bit surprised to learn, for instance, that Chels and her dad spent many a White House night playing Scrabble into the wee hours while plotting to get Osama bin Laden.
The New York Observer, which first reported the news of young Clinton's journalistic debut, said she was so moved by the episode that she's stopped giving interviews. (We hadn't noticed she'd started.)
In fact, it was her senator mom who first piqued interest in her daughter's Twin Tower adventure when she told NBC's Jane Pauley, "Chelsea was going to go [jogging] around the towers. She went to get a cup of coffee and that's when the plane hit."
Mrs. Clinton next claimed she wasn't able to reach her child for two whole hours after the attack, and was afraid to tell her husband - who was busy scooping up six-figure speaking fees in Australia at the time.
With all three tethered to a small army of Secret Service agents, it's hard to imagine such a total communciations breakdown. But the Clintons have never been sticklers for inconvenient details.
Talk initiated the idea of Chelsea telling her Twin Tower tale, the Observer said, noting the magazine's long history of support for the Clintons.

Which version is correct? The daughter is not as clever as the mom. Hitlery must teach her the fine are of keeping your lies straight.
That would have been the "nanny" in Little Rock, who was actually on the payroll of the police dept., I'm pretty sure. That way, the clintoons got away without paying for the services of a real nanny.
It's one thing when parents have to work, but when parents are well off and still don't have time to raise their own children, that really frosts me. It's so heartless and unfeeling, selfish and egocentric.

As a friend of mine would say:
All she suffers from is a lead deficiency.
But alas, you can put your life savings on the line in Vegas that not a damn thing will ever come of this. No reporter or tv talking head will ask questions of either to "clarify" the story. And surely, anyone who even so much as publicly questions the accuracy of the stories will be labeld a Clinton hater who "just wont let it go." Come on, cut her some slack, she was fearing for her daughters life! So the story will go...
Ding! Ding!
On the nose! Both parts!
JimRob, what has texasbluebell won?
the spawn of satan knows no lie too difficult to utter
They all have to spout this line otherwise the real defect in America's previous foreign policy will become clear, the cover up that led us down the tubes.
Oh, wait! She was jogging towards Grand Central with a coffee on a treadmill at her friend's house. Okay. Gotcha. {/sarcasm}
