Foxes

From a recent news story: “WASHINGTON – White House advisers pledged on Sunday to book administration officials on Fox News despite claims by the president's inner circle that the cable network is a GOP mouthpiece whose programming "is geared toward making money." Last week, White House communications director Anita Dunn said Fox News operates "almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party." On Sunday, Rahm Emanuel, President Barack Obama's chief of staff, said, "It is not a news organization so much as it has a perspective." Well, if Fox News is not news, then the New York Times is not a newspaper, and this beautiful topless woman is not a woman because she has short hair? That is just too silly….

White House Wedding

I would not presume to know, but do you think it just might be possible that Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol, and her boyfriend might be contemplating a White House Wedding? Who really knows? Of course, the Republicans would first have to win the election. Perhaps this might win them the liberal youth vote, since most young people now believe that having a baby out of wedlock is no big deal. It might even be considered chic. Who really knows? Senator McCain must be getting deeply thought out advice at this very moment. Of course, many candidates have faced very difficult personal circumstances before, going all the way back to Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, and Kennedy. We should never be smug about such things.
