Do you suppose that in the dark recesses of the Bushcheney mind, a thought is forming something along these lines:
"Golly gee, if we hadn't invaded Iraq, maybe we could invade Saudi Arabia and take over the oil fields. The revenues would pay for the war, the price of gasoline would come down, and our party would keep the White House. What were we thinking?"
THINKING?
I THINK
Hillary Clinton shouldn't waste her time on discussions about being vice-president. Certainly a job of limited possibilities as compared to some others.
I would say that a deal to make her a Supreme Court Justice would guarantee power and influence far above and beyond that of veep.
Some of the more "liberal" justices are getting long in the tooth, and if they were guaranteed that some one of Hillary's stature would be appointed to take their place, they might gladly retire.
This could be Obama's and Clinton's way to turn the Court away from the far-rightest direction they have taken for so long, and give Hillary a place in history that would go for years if not decades beyond that of the lowly vice-president job.
I BELIEVE THIS
This truly is a day and time that will be seen as a watershed in our history, and to my amazement, I have lived to see it.
When I was a boy in Virginia going back to the 1930's and 1940's, women were basically second class citzens, and blacks were well below that level. What is happening today, no matter who may be the winner would not have been in any way possible back then.
Whenever I think of it, I shake my head in wonderment.

Speaking very frankly, I am sick and tired of all this public airing of religion as it relates to political campaigns. I want to remind politicians that claim to be Christians what Jesus had to say about this subject.
Matthew 6:5-6: "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets , that they may be seen of men. When thou prayest, enter into thy closet and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret......"
So, all you politicos of whatever party and religious persuasion you lay claim to, CAN IT! Stick to the issues that are going to ruin our country if not corrected, such as war and economics.
My first exposure to the word "curmudgeon" was during the Franklin D Roosevelt administration and was used to describe his Secretary of the Interior, Harold L. Ickes.
Is it possible curmudgeony is genetic? Watching old Harold's son, Harold M. Ickes in action would seem to make the case.
The dude is ORNERY!!
One comic asks the other; "You have 50 bucks in one pocket and 100 bucks in the other pocket. What do you have?"
Other comic; "Someone elses pants?"
McSame says Obama should go to Iraq.
I say you don't need to go to the Moon to know it ain't green cheese.
