Hey Mia! Where have you been? This is the first I have seen from you in a long time.

[Henchster]

Your VANITIES are NOT BREAKING NEWS.

Love your photo of Nero Jefferson Clinton 'fiddling'....how true.....

BTW, Hillary can't hide from the real hardball questions forever if she wants to run for Prez. She might be able to avoid exposure leading up to the DEM convention by orchestrating a coup/acclamation vote, but eventually she'll have to go up against a real man. And let's face it, she's never really known a real man in her entire life.

[anniegetyourgun]

No, but her work is FR art. Don't be so low-brow in your appreciation of same.

[FryingPan101]

Enjoyed it, Mia T.

[BenLurkin]

Did hardball ask Hillary about her teenage idol?

[Republic]

This isn't breaking news? Could have fooled me....our authors here have more insight on recent events than any thousand news analysts thrown together out there in the twilight zone.

Hillary only allows totally scripted and carefully controlled "press conferences."

As if once wasn't more than enough, that edition of Matthews' College Tour will be re-aired on 11/27/02.

Altho this will probably forever be a favorite quote pulled from your missives:

Sahl, the 60s satirist and self-professed "radical independent," who cut his political-eyeteeth at the Hungry i, announced, "I have no desire to meet clinton; with no morality, there's nothing there." ,

you are SO RIGHT about access journalism. Her heinous is the queen, and matthews was a slobbering court jester, twisting and turning and bobbling and making nicey poo. Together, their dance of distortion and avoidance made for softball journalism of the most revolting sort.

But hillary is a master at venue picking-her cowardice knows no rival.

I am really surprised the old bag even went on Hardball, after Chris's pummeling he gave both Clintons, months ago. I know he has gone back to a Dim, as well as low ratings, but Hillary is notorious for holding a grudge.

The pic above of the twin towers burning with bill klinton, busy playing his sax, superimposed over it, is not only intense, but 100% unmistakeable in it's message. Devastating, no?

[Nogbad]

Dear Mia. I regret to say your links to your links to your links.....
are impossible to follow.

Try putting everything on one page.

[kattracks]

BTTT.

BUMP!!

[let freedom sing]

No news is still good news.

[OldFriend]

What is the difference what questions he asks......he never listens to the answer.....just keep ranting along.

This is a man definitely in need of an intervention.......

When I was an unsophisticated lurker, I used to think: "Dang! This here's a classy website! They even got artists, purty girls and everythang!"

I stayed. I read. I matured.

Today, I think: "I actually believe the forces of principled rationalism are winning. The defection of the intellectuals would seem to be complete when art is ascendant in communicating political messages."

Your 'Mushroom Cloud Clinton Head' is the best. Thanks.

Chris cannot decide where he stands...methinks he has some internal warfare going on between his conscience, probably related to his faith juxtaposed against his poltical ideology.
