Republicans Never Change

In Today's Headlines:

• Bush Compares Obama To Nazi Appeasers
• GOP Internal Memo about Obama refers to 'tar baby'

Who votes for these people?

Hillary Wins WV by 41%

A good win for Hillary. A little state landslide.

Let's let her take a moment to enjoy this one.

They like her. They really, really like her.

So . . . what does it mean? Does it mean anything?

Well, everything means something. So let's have a look. Here's what I see.

• Hillary got 239,062 votes. That's a lot.
• Obama got 91,652 votes.
• McCain got 89,683 votes.

Democrats beat McCain 330,714 to 89,683. The newsies never mention this math. Am I the only one who sees relevance here? Am I wrong, or does this in fact bode well for the Democrats in November?

Hillary must face the fact that she's not going to get the nomination. Unless Obama gets run over by a bus (or worse). Her best play is to stay in the race, but to turn her rhetoric against McCain and stop going negative on Obama. She can still get on the ticket, in the spirit of UNIFICATION, but she has to start the process of making up with Obama, and his supporters, soon. Otherwise her name will be poison to their ears, as it is to many already.

By taking VP, Hillary still becomes a historical figure. And she won't be too old to run for President in 2016. She's proven she can bring in a lot of votes. It could happen. The first step is up to her.

Casting Call for Dick Cheney

Oliver Stone has the cast of his next movie, "W," in place with one exception. Who will play Dick Cheney? Oh, he's a tough one.

What a Dick!

You pick! Here are some suggestions:

Sean Connery

Anthony Hopkins

Fred Thompson

Vince Vaughn

Bill McCullough

Michael Chiklis

Telly Savalas

Britney Spears

Jack Nicholson

Phillip Seymour Hoffman

This Guy

Satan

Frankly, I'm pulling for Britney, because if she doesn't catch a break soon, she's about 18 months away from a tasteful Hustler pictorial. But I think we all know that Satan was really born to play this part.


Car Talk

Have you checked out the Smart Car yet? Look at it here.

Which reminds me, it's National Transportation Week! But only from the 12th to the 16th. So don't go too far.

Politics

My local Democrats seem to be panicking that Obama is not strong enough to beat McCain. They really seem like a bunch of scaredy-cats.

Hillary is determined to show that she can win a hillbilly landslide in West Virginia, which by the way, is not a Southern State.

Mormon Women - Rubuke to Snake Nation

I'm just posting this photo in order to balance Snake's posting of a picture of the aesthetically challenged women of the FLDS, to show that there are, indeed, pretty girls in Mormon land. Plus I just like cheerleaders.

Economic Indicators

Big law firms are downsizing all over town here in the ATL area. New law school graduate hirings are holding steady, but many firms have scaled back their summer associate programs. All of this means less biz is happening.

That's it for now.
