I saw Ms. Ketchup Kid on Hardball tonight. She had an odd accent so I did a bit of checking. Turns out Ms. Ketchup kid was born in Mozambique, the daughter of a Portuguese doctor. She later went to college in Johannesburg, South Africa. Mozambique was from 1569-1975, ruled by the Portuguese as a colony. I wonder how all the African-Amerians will take to a former white African colonial as the first lady? Odd the press hasn't made anything of her origins.

Well, the worst thing about Mrs. Heinz-Kerry is that she's weird. Just weird. We heard about this the first time Kerry got the media anal exam. Then it was the Dean exam. If Kerry is the nominee then he'll get the exam again.

Of course, we all know that the African American leaders won't make a big deal of it.

What's her maiden name? I'd like to check out her mother, who is/was, as I recall, Jewish. With Arabs here uniting in an anyone-but-bush election push, this could be a very interesting tidbit.

It won't be a problem as long as she doesn't marry a Republican.
