Like night and day ... from the Republican slug-fest last night to the love-in this evening ...

Obama and Hillary in a "love-fest" of sorts

Unlike the donnybrook between McCain and Romney last night (with poor Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee looking on), Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama focused on differences between themselves and Republicans more than differences between each other. Overall, I give the Democrats a big thumbs up and the Republican front-runners a big thumbs down. I actually heard concern for the American people and not just those who hold the big bucks in America. If only the two of them would take a hard look at their "pro-choice" stand on abortion!

What did you-all think?

Debate at Reagan Library turns into a two-man free-for-all!

Nice guys, both of them, but they weren't the only ones at this evening's debate

This evening's debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library was a sad commentary on biased news coverage. Rudy Giuliani shouldn't have bothered to drop out of the running. He could have been seated between Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul and no one would have noticed his presence there. The focus was on who said what way back when ... strictly between John McCain and Mitt Romney ... and that was for almost the entire 90 minutes. I don't believe I even heard Iran mentioned once by anyone--and that's likely to dominate the affairs of the next President far more than any of the topics that John and Mitt were tossed by the CNN questioners. Anderson Cooper's main focus was in trying to get the two front-runners to squabble about nearly anything and everything.

For the record, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul were able to get a word in edgewise here and there--and that was the sum total of any real information radiating from the boob tube in my bedroom. It's a shame that by the time they came to the very last question (final response to it came from Mike), most viewers were probably searching for an old episode of Laverne and Shirley.

Huckabee asks for some equal time as he and Dr. Paul warmed seats -- and little else -- at this evening's debate

I hate to remind you all ... in the euphoria of Florida's tallies pouring in ...

Thanks to pollingreport.com and ABC News ...

Romney's money and Obama's high-powered endorsements went for naught in Florida. Hillary and McCain bask in Florida sun ...

No Florida Flowers in Romney's Inexhaustible Money Tree

And Teddy's Endorsement Didn't Bring Obama Closer than 20 Percentage Points Behind Hillary

Well, as the final tallies are rolling in, Romney's money tree and Obama's high-powered endorsements surely did not bring home the bacon in my quasi-home state ...

And more than ever, my New Year's Day prediction looks like a likelihood rather than a long-shot.

As much as I like Mike Huckabee, I surely can live with either Hillary or John McCain. Both abhor the torture in/at places like Abu-Ghraib and Guantanamo and both aren't super-phobic about Mexican workers who have crossed into America to fill a sad void left by an economy in a shambles.

Look for Teddy to be endorsing both after they have wrapped up their parties' nominations. Yes, I would prefer that Hillary was pro-life and that Admiral McCain's son was less blinded by his unflinching support of the "surge" in Iraq, but they are two good heads, either of whom could/would (I think) lead our country into navigating the troubled waters ahead.

Now, I have to find a new hobby besides politics for the months ahead until November 2008.

Thank God for the Super Bowl next Sunday! (What was "Super Tuesday" all about, anyway?)

Who next? The Pope?

Kennedy endorses Obama

Well, just for the record--and to assure my daughter, Jeanne, that I have a bit of common sense in my head, let me state that Mediawingnuts, for one, endorses Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party's nomination for President.

She is wiser, slower to act (especially less likely to act irrationally), highly intelligent and understands the job for which she is running.

Her defeat in South Carolina, like Mike Huckabee's a week ago Saturday on the Republican side, was hopefully an enigma and will remain such. Obama's endorsements from everyone save the Pope are totally baffling. He's surely inspiring, but we need good basic common sense at the helm these days and Mediawingnuts won't back down on this (long overdue) endorsement.

Don't let Obama's 2,931 high name recognition endorsements get you down, Hillary; you are the best qualified among the Democratic candidates.

Further, Hillary, the rumor is out that although Teddy Kennedy (who dislikes your husband) and Caroline Kennedy (who is jealous of Chelsea) are endorsing Obama, a passel of Kennedy offspring from Bobby Kennedy are about to make public their endorsement of YOU!

As Yogi Berra used to say when the Yankees were down in a game, "It ain't over till it's over!"

Just read my New Year's Day prediction every so often when the going gets tough.

I guess South Carolina has told the Machinists just what they thought of their endorsements ...

International Machinists Union endorses Hillary

And oh yes, the International Machinists Union endorsed Huckabee too, if you recall

What is it about the South Carolinians? First they toss Huckabee's campaign into a tailspin and now, they have given Hillary's a similar punch in the stomach one week later. We all remember when they endorsed both Hilary and Huckabee back when the sun actually shined in Ocean Shores (August or so), right?

And those of you who have been avid Mediawingnuts' fans know I have pushed for both Hillary and Huckabee from about Day One--with some growing warmth for Obama until he decided to tell Hillary that "We like you all right, Hillary!" in a debate two or three weeks ago.

Well, chalk one up for South Carolina and a major defeat for the Machinists--myself included--after the debacle down there on Saturday.

Maybe my New Year's day prediction will be slam-dunked by those rascally South Carolinians as well. Could it be Admiral McCain's son beating Obama in November--or Obama beating Admiral McCain's son?

Why the continuing cover up of UFOs?

One of several photos of the "Phoenix Lights"--one of the more notable sightings before the very recent Stephenville, Texas sightings

I managed to sit still through a major potrion of Larry King Live this evening--the one about the cover up of the Stephenville, Texas UFO reports. But then after watching a UFO-related video with a close friend, Bill Puckett, whose website is still the best UFO Reporting site on the web, I felt compelled to ask you all the simple question:

Why the continuing cover up of the seventy year-old UFO mystery?

John Lear, a UFO investigator (a photo of him shown on the right as he appeared in the video), suggested a simple statement to be read by any President--this one, the next one ... maybe the one after that--that simply says that "we don't know" what in hell has been causing all of the various aerial and/or space phenomena over the past half century or more.

What's so hard about that?

By the way, a good video of the Phoenix Lights is available on YouTube. A frame from that video is shown below.

Did the New York Times' endorsement really say that??

Uhhh ... honey? Can I read that endorsement?

Yes, the NYT really did endorse John McCain, but what a hatchet job it turned out to be. Much of their endorsement of John McCain had little to do with Senator McCain whom many Republicans regard as a liberal--in the Hillary mold. Curious? A quote from the "endorsement" of John McCain follows:

"The real Mr. Giuliani, whom many New Yorkers came to know and mistrust, is a narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man who saw no need to limit police power. Racial polarization was as much a legacy of his tenure as the rebirth of Times Square."

"Mr. Giuliani's arrogance and bad judgment are breathtaking. When he claims fiscal prudence, we remember how he ran through surpluses without a thought to the inevitable downturn and bequeathed huge deficits to his successor. He fired Police Commissioner William Bratton, the architect of the drop in crime, because he couldn't share the limelight. He later gave the job to Bernard Kerik, who has now been indicted on fraud and corruption charges."

"The Rudolph Giuliani of 2008 first shamelessly turned the horror of 9/11 into a lucrative business, with a secret client list, then exploited his city’s and the country’s nightmare to promote his presidential campaign."

Now, that's an endorsement of a different kind, eh? Even I don't think that Mr. Giuliani was that bad. And oh yes, while the NYT was/is endorsing McCain, they are also endorsing Hillary. With friends like that ...

Getting better, but we still need a Constitutional Ammendment

Although the number of abortions in the United States dropped from its all-time high of 1.6 million in 1960, my brother Richard in Connecticut and I both agree that it's still way too high. The latest figures show that it's "down" to 1.2 million in 2005, but those are 1.2 million American babies who are being snuffed when there are persons throughout the country who would be both willing and eager to adopt them.

No, Ron Paul, it should not be left to the states; they are Americans and deserve the same rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as all others. I emphasize "life."

Only Mike Huckabee (and the Pope, among others) sees this as a continuing tragedy.

How the heck did Bigfoot get himself up to Mars anyway?

The image above, along with many others of the same area and object, were taken in 2004 by the Mars unmanned explorer named Spirit. My first thought, after seeing it on CNN last evening, was that it looks/looked like a statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen (shown just beneath this paragraph), but closer look at it today suggests that it really does look remarkably like a humanoid--of sorts--and that it is climbing or running "up" the bluff to its side.

The Little Mermaid

Yeh, like the face on Mars (shown at the bottom of this posting), it could be (and probably is) only a small rock formation, but it will be just one more reason for humans on this planet to make the next Big Leap into space and to another actual planet--Mars!

Remember the "Face on Mars"?

Not to worry, world ... GWB is coming to the rescue!

Thanks to President George W. Bush's economic stimulus plan and the United States Federal Reserve's quick action, the entire world's capital assets were saved from extinction. The sad faces seen in Asia yesterday (above) are only a memory today as stocks are rising rapidly in the knowledge that the US President and his Congress are divining (uhhh ... devising) a stimulus package to stem the tide at home and, at the same time, interest rates are being cut deeper to allow even more irresponsible borrowing both at home and abroad.

The winner: You tell me!

Last night's debate among the three Democrats had a clear winner ...

Senator John Edwards seems a bit bemused by the mudslinging to and from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton

What's so laughable about a "President Huckabee" anyway?

I was just a little irked at Anderson Cooper this evening. I worked pretty hard today and when I arrived home from teaching my last class of the day--at after 10:30 p.m.--I had to endure his cackling at the above photo of the three top-running Democrats laughing with the winning (Anderson Cooper was the judge and jury) caption below the photo being, "Here's another one--President Huckabee!"

Clearly this was CNN's AC taking his partisan politics a little far and I'd love for the last laugh to be on Anderson Cooper. Go get 'm Huck! I for one would welcome a "President Huckabee" and will have to count my pennies to determine whether I can afford to help him win in Florida.


Mike Huckabee looks very Presidential to this old Democrat!

Go get 'm, Bill ... while I take the high road!

His apology today (was that what it was?) fell a mite short. He's liable to lose this for her yet!

You may be supporting my favorite candidate, Chuck; however, your comments on John McCain were ... well ...

Possibly POTUS 44: Senator John McCain ... in 1974

I concur with Senator McCain as regards your comments on his age, Chuck Norris! He is right to be thinking of sending his 94 year-old mother over to wash your mouth. Shame on you! I like Mike, but am not too sure about his #1 martial arts-oriented supporter.

"Keys to the White House" decoded ...

My Brother Richard's "Keys to the White House"

Remember what I said back on New Year's Day regarding next November! And I did it without executing my brother Richard's crazy "Keys" program (computer logic diagram shown above) which might be good for predicting random events ... but then is only relatively accurate for between four and eight years in the real world of emotionally charged people-politics.

It's still Hillary and Barack over McCain and Huckabee (or possibly Jeb Bush if he is amenable to running as the VEEP) come November 2008.

As I said on NYD, "You heard it here first!"

Screw politics ... Go Giants!!!

Lawrence Tynes after kicking an 47-yarder in overtime to put the Giants in the Super Bowl--and putting Super Tuesday [sic] in its place

My brother Richard in Connecticut has been urging me to give up this politics shi$$$ and get a real hobby ... like sports, backgammon or memorizing all 107 proofs to the Pythagorean Theorem.

Well, today's overtime win 23-20 at Lambeau Field over the favored packers has put the Giants in a David (Giants) versus Goliath (Patriots) Super Bowl ... a game that has made America forget all about what used to be called Mega/Super/Tsunami Tuesday.

The names of interest throughout America now are Lawrence Tynes, Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress rather than Hillary, Mitt, Barack, McCain and Mike ("Texas Ranger") Huckabee.

Admittedly, my nutty brother will be back fumbling with his damnable "keys to the White House" come Monday, February 4 ... but even he will be totally engrossed in what will happen on Super Sunday, February 3, 2008 when the wind chill temperature won't be -23 degrees Fahrenheit as it was today for both the cheese heads and the players in Wisconsin.

Yeh, what if Fred had just dropped out a week ago?

The Enigma: Fred Thompson

Despite Huckabee's having stolen Fred's southern base out from right under him in South Carolina, Fred was the ultimate victor. He has hated the Huckabee charm (wit, smile, speaking ability, folksy appeal, solid Christian credentials and basic conservatism) from about the moment he belatedly entered the Republican race.

He certainly has done his bosom buddy, John McCain, the ultimate favor and might win himself a place on the ticket in November.

But was it worth it?

Good Lord! What next?

Embryonic stem cells can now be "cloned" from adult skins cells (and an egg, of course) involving no "fertilized eggs" -- at least not "fertilized" in the normal manner--no sperm, for one thing.

Mediawingnuts simply wonders when God will step in and say "I AM!"

Wow! A tie in South Carolina ... not a win but a 33%-30% tie isn't bad, Huck!

A Tie for Huck in South Carolina

Way to go, Huck! It's on to Florida for Mike Huckabee ...

... And still champion! Bobby Fischer dies ... although having "died" in his own trapped mind years ago.

Bobby Fischer in better days ... back in 1954 or so ... roughly a couple of years before winning the US Junior Championship at 13

He may be only a footnote in the History of the Twenty-first Century, but he will always be a Grand Tragedy of the Twentieth Century.

Like Mediawingnuts, Bobby Fischer loved the game of chess, was clearly (maybe pathologically) drawn into seclusion at times, was not mentally well from an early age--probably in his late twenties or early thirties at the very latest ... and was birthed by a Jewish mother.

That last factoid was in contrast to his ranting and raving about Jews, whom he came to despise, a truly bothersome aspect to his failing mental health. [Actually, my own mother, Jesus be with her, was only half-Jewish by ancestry.]

Oh yes, a really major difference: He was an accomplished genius and a champion and Mediawingnuts slogs out mediocre blog postings after never getting beyond a weak "B" USCF rating back a hundred years or so.

I've read just about every book or article on Bobby Fischer dating back to the late 1950s, and can state a few highlights:

He had an IQ of 181 (measured), but dropped out of high school at 16.

He became the US Chess Champion at 14--youngest ever!

He became a grandmaster (determined on a point system) at 15--youngest ever!

He became the World Champion in 1972 (when he beat Boris Spaasky in a well-remembered match) only to be stripped of the title in 1975 for his erratic behavior ... that continued pretty much until the day he died--probably day before yesterday, but there is even disagreement on that.

He won 20 consecutive games against grandmasters (a record), back in the early 1970s before the Spaasky match.

His kidneys failed him long after his mind failed him.

Somewhere in all of this he became an "Enemy of the State" here in America and even spent nine months in prison overseas relating to his lapsed passport. He lived in Japan, the Philippines and ultimately, Iceland, where he became a citizen.

Yes, he truly was a tragedy of the Twentieth Century--long before the advent of the 21st Century!

Terribly sad. My heartfelt sympathies go out to his eight year-old daughter, Jinky Ong and others who (thought that they) knew him at the end.

Here, we needn't get permission to recycle ... so what's the big stink?

Squeaky clean, they is, isn't they?

I truly believe Michigan Congressman Peter Hoekstra's statement today when he said that the CIA folks who destroyed the now-famous interrogation videotapes "hadn't gotten authority from anyone."

After a lifetime with the spooks in just about every corner of my life and work, I never knew any of them who really believed that there even was an authority to whom they owed "accountability."


Squeaky clean is as squeaky cleans! I wonder just who National Clandestine Service "head" Jose Rodriguez really is ... or isn't !!

Any guesses?

Republican race becoming akin to our Samish Bay Low Tide Mud Run up the coast a bit ...

In more ways than I thought possible, Mitt Romney's win in Michigan yesterday reminded me of one of our area's more exciting events of the year: the Samish Bay Bivalve Bash and Low Tide Mud Run (the finish of a recent such race shown above). Watching the mud being thrown by McCain and Romney in New Hampshire--with just a bit being tossed by Huckabee and Thompson during the debate--and the sudden more exciting tightening of the race yesterday ... well, you get the idea.

What can make it tighter or muddier? I guess we'll have to wait and see ...

From what I've heard, the GOP isn't permitting pets in their race either ... and 250 yards in the mud is about equivalent to the primary season (at low tide).

Okay, the comments of "Blaine" in the previous posting forced me to do this!

Well, I don't know that he is necessarily a "dream" opponent of the DNC, but he brings a bit of baggage into the fray of which his father (whom I admired to the fullest) would not approve. I'll let you read "Blain's" comments to the previous posting yourself, but sufficeth for me to state that McCain's heroism in Vietnam wasn't the only "Heroic McCain Story" ongoing over the past decades.

His first wife, Carol, who put up with his cheating and searching for a younger trophy wife--with money to finance his campaigns--deserves inclusion among so many wives (my own included) who belong in the "Wives Hall of Fame." At the time, she had previously suffered severe injuries that shortened one of her legs and ... well, you get the picture. I read it in a New York Times article that was published when he ran against George Bush in 2000. That story, plus his involvement with the Keating Five during the S&L scandal (both stories just under the radar today) are what have the Democrats hoping that my New Year's Day prediction comes true. And yes, watch what pops over the radar after McCain gets the nomination next summer--or sooner as Mega-Tuesday rolls past.

Even his support for the Bush Surge is more likely to backfire than boost his campaign come next November.

But his picture in the previous blog posting was still a nice picture, wasn't it? And although both Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani have their own "trophy wives" ...


Senator McCain certainly did do well in picking Cindy as his most recent wife too, don't you think?

Any picture this nicely posed and taken in Livonia, Michigan is worth posting!

Senator John McCain in Livonia, Michigan

Gee whiz! Any photograph so beautiful as this deserves posting no matter what Romney and the others might think.

And besides, I have ties (my Mom and Dad, now in a better Place) to Livonia, Michigan!

Nine pounds and twenty inches ... that's more than ten pounds, isn't it?

Kerrin (mom) and Oliver (the "kid")

Good grief! I'm a Great Uncle (not that "great," mind you ...) now. What next? But Oliver Thomas is a bundle and a half, eh?

A message to Michigan Democrats: Follow Bill Clinton and don't waste your vote on Tuesday! Vote Huck!!

With the DNC having said that the Democratic Convention will have no voting delegates from Michigan and the only front-runner on the ballot there being Hillary (so she'll "win" one way or the other in Michigan on Tuesday), why not cross over and vote for the one Republican who was called a Democrat and liberal at the most recent Republican debate? And by the way, your vote should not be because you think he's a weak candidate--and thus easier for Hillary to beat in November, but because he's the most genuine and decent candidate among the Republicans running.

Democrats in Michigan: Let's all join Bill (above, actually joining Huck in support of revamping health insurance some time back) and

Vote for Huck!!

Last night, they all (save Ron Paul) tried to out-Reagan Ronald Reagan!!

Fred Thompson said it most pointedly: "I think that governor Huckabee's campaign manager said it accurately, in terms of what they believe. They believe that it is over [the Reagan Revolution]. This is a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party, and its future. On the one hand, you have the Reagan revolution. You have the Reagan coalition of limited government and strong national security. On the other hand, you have the direction that Governor Huckabee would take us in. He would be a Christian leader, but he would also bring about liberal economic policies and liberal foreign policies. He believes we have an arrogant foreign policy, in the tradition of blame America first. He believes that Guantanamo should be shut down and those enemy combatants brought here to the United States to find their way into the court system eventually. He believes in taxpayer funded programs for illegals, as he did in Arkansas. He has the endorsement of the National Education Association, and the NEA said it was because of his opposition to vouchers. He said he would sign a bill that would ban smoking nationwide. So much for federalism. So much for states rights. So much for individual rights. That's not the model of the Reagan coalition. That's the model of the Democratic Party".

Pin the tail on the largest elephant!!

But Huckabee's "gates of Hell" remark and others' references to Islamo-fascism and the Muslims' dream of a heaven of 72 virgins ... or whatever when commenting on the problems of late in the Strait of Hormuz were ... well, also a little frightening, although not as downright vicious as Fred Thompson's tirade against Mike Huckabee (quoted above).

Only Ron Paul tried to bring the tone back to a modicum of calm common sense.

Hopefully, the American people won't be driven to frothing at the mouth for World War III over some bothersome small boats in the Strait of Hormuz. Let's not forget the Gulf of Tonkin "incident" of a half century ago and the 58,000 Americans who died over that Department of Defense lie!

It's easy after the fact to say, "I saw it instantly!" ... but I said nothing till now ...

"Hillary, you're nice enough"

I'm writing this after the fact. This is the day after the New Hampshire primary results are in and Hillary came out of (seemingly) nowhere to beat Barack Obama 39% to 36%.

How many of you recall that moment in the ABC Debate last Saturday evening when the mood was jocular over the issue of Obama's "likability" being higher or better than Hillary's? Do you recall the relaxed and rather genuine smile on Hillary's face when she said basically that she felt "hurt" and then went on to remark that she too found Barack Obama to be very likable. Then the camera panned over to Obama who said with a depth of arrogance and sarcasm that I found shocking. He said, "Hillary, you're nice enough" with a noticeable drop in his voice as he said "enough."

At the time I thought, "I hope his female supporters didn't notice that!" I truly did! And yes, the election results yesterday bore out my (easy to say now, I know) thoughts at the time. I mentioned them only to my brother in Connecticut on the phone, but that moment marked the turn-about in Hillary's campaign, I think--together with her slight "breakdown" on Sunday, and may very well have cost Obama the nomination if YouTube or one of the major broadcasters replays that few moments of the ABC Debate.

Maybe my prediction of New Year's Day has just picked up new life ...

And just tell me ... why not??? Sounds like exactly like what this nation needs!

I do not like them in a box .... with Ron Paul left out as if he had a POX!!

A pox on you Fox News for leaving Ron Paul out of the "Fox Box" during Sunday evening's debate. The "Box" looked conspicuously empty without his contrary--but sometimes quite sensible--views. Fox News gets Mediawingnuts' "Green Egg on the face Award" for this debate season, that's for sure!

"I led the largest squadron in the US navy, not for profit but for patriotism." ... J. McCain

McCain responds to Romney's claim to leadership on the basis of his profit margins

I don't think I ever saw a candidate look "down" on another candidate more than did John McCain in last night's "FOX BOX" debate after Romney bragged, "I've been in the economy. I've been in the real world!"

McCain came back brilliantly: "I led the largest squadron in the US navy, not for profit but for patriotism."

And no, he didn't have to bring up the years he spent in the Hanoi Hilton while I was working for his father, Admiral John McCain (magnificent man in his own right) during the late 60s and into the 70s.

The Hillary Clinton I want to remember ...

The Hillary I want very much to remember ...

Yes, I welled up a little too as I listened intently to Hillary's weariness poured out into a microphone today in New Hampshire. No, I would almost certainly not vote for her over, say, Mike Huckabee or John McCain, but her untiring campaigning for God-knows-how long and her unflagging spirit--especially at/on the debate on Saturday night--are something that sets her atop the Democratic candidates, IMHO.

She does understand the issues--save her views on abortion "rights"--better than almost anyone in both parties and she is a fighter, which--God knows--our country needs at this time.

Hopefully, she will bounce back after tomorrow's vote in New Hampshire as the "comeback kid" of 2008 for the Democrats and be the Democratic party's nominee come November. And also--hopefully--Mike Huckabee will be the "comeback kid" among the GOP contenders and beat her come November.

Go Mike! Go Hillary! Make South Carolina the jumping off point for Mega-Tuesday!

After last night's free-for-all and tonight's "Fox Box" debate ...

All six ... including Ron Paul!

Just a quick blurb to let you know that after watching about 85% of all three debates--both last night's and this evening's ... I'd still vote for Mike Huckabee in a New York minute. Yeh, I know that the instant "experts" all gave this evening's foray to Mitt Romney, but I thought that Huckabee's honesty ... particularly when he tried to clarify his record on taxes (he was not waffling) with that wooden manikin from Massachusetts and/or Michigan and/or Utah ... was refreshing. In particular, I heard the genuine concern for the lower and middle class among us (that none of the other Republicans seemed to give a hoot about--and only John Edwards among the Democrats) coming only from the statements made by Mike Huckabee.

Yup, I still LIKE MIKE--although I certainly concede that he will not carry New Hampshire. Both John McCain and Mitt Romney did what was required to stay in front.

Uhhh ... whatever happened to Rudy??

Thanks to the prayers of my brother Richard in Connecticut and all of you ...

Mike Huckabee takes #1 !!

Although I couldn't hear all that my brother had to say in the raucous hullabaloo during this evening's phone call with him, it was apparent that he, along with Christians from coast to coast, was still in a state of euphoria.

To hell with his keys ... it's on to New Hampshire!

The spoiler?

Michael Bloomberg at Kotel (the Western Wall in Jerusalem)

Who knows? Now something like MB jumping in as a Third party candidate would surely throw my brother Richard's "keys" [Yes, Richard is the brother who lives in Connecticut!] into a real cocked hat, wouldn't it?


Bloomberg after stating emphatically earlier today that none of the Democratic or Republican candidates is "fit to run"

New Year's Day prediction: It will be Hillary Clinton over John McCain in November ... Remember ... you saw it here first!

Yes--I see it clear as day ... and even my brother Richard in Connecticut and his damnable "keys" suggest its inevitability.

Yes, Hillary Clinton with Barack Obama as her running mate will overwhelm John McCain and Mike Huckabee (or Jeb Bush, if he's available) come November of 2008--discounting an assassination or other such tragedy that could, of course, throw the entire election into a cocked hat.

And while I'm at it, watch out for some humongous hurricanes just prior to the elections in November.

Thus sayeth Mediawingnuts.

(Of course, we all know that Mike Huckabee would have made a terrific President, don't we?)
