...The cracked bells and washed out horns....

Just say NO to Madeleine Halfbright
Just say NO to Richard Holbrooke

'...With Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) almost certain to become President-elect Barack Obama’s secretary of state, some foreign-policy experts in the Obama orbit are expressing frustration.

Clinton herself isn’t so much the problem, they say. It’s the loyalists and traditional thinkers Clinton is likely to bring into the State Dept. if she becomes secretary.

The dispute is only partly ideological in nature. While the coterie of foreign-policy thinkers around Obama have been more liberal, in an aggregate sense — on issues like Iraq and negotiations with America’s adversaries — the Obama loyalists question the boldness of the Clintonites. They fear that Obama’s apparent embrace of Clinton represents an acquiescence to the conventional Democratic foreign-policy approaches that they once derided as courting disaster. Some wonder whether a Clinton-run State Dept. will hire progressive Obama partisans after an acrimonious primary.

In addition, some Obama loyalists wonder whether the same people who attacked Obama on foreign policy during the primaries can implement Obama’s agenda from State Dept. perches. “Look, Clinton and Obama are both smart people,” said one Democratic official who would not speak for the record, “and I’m sure their one-on-one relationship would be OK. But when you hire a Clinton, you hire more than just that one person, you get the entire package.” If Clinton becomes secretary of state, it’s possible that the fissures between her loyalists and Obama’s would be a significant undercurrent of the administration’s foreign-policy decision-making....'

Yay how nice! It makes me happy to see this new administration take shape. It also makes me a whole lot less embarrassed to say I am an American when I travel. I never thought the people of Ohio and Indiana would step up to the plate and vote Obama, so to them I send a large virtual thank you and an apology for anything I may have thought about residents of your state in the past. :)

What a team! I am down at the farm, with the turkey's, duck's, geese etc.... getting ready for thank's giving. Happy 25th to you. There are some log's in the fire, and just thinking back to the old day's, and to now.
These day's take me back to around '86, when I met a young man. He was very nice, and he was in a band, that I was unaware of. In California, the Four Top's, and Bill Wither's was a ticket to see once in a while.
Their is an old Beatles song out now, and the young man I meet along time ago, has a new Album out also. It is said, as much as things change, they remain the same. When "w" made a comment, "they all got drunk"........remind's me of these times, "Welcome to the Jungle"......"November Rain"-Vidio's...Gun's and Rose's.....

Sounds like Jolleen's a little bitter. Well, at least every word out of his mouth wasn't a lie, unlike everyone's favorite moron of the campaign season. She said she had stopped the bridge to nowhere but she hadn't, she said she had helped special needs children but she cut off funding for the special olympics in Alaska, she said she fired her chef but she gave her a policy position, she couldn't make up her mind whether or not she was a feminist (let me give you a little help there, Sarah...women who don't represent women's rights aren't called feminists), or whether or not she had asked her kids about taking the job, she said that Obama had started his career in Bill Ayres living room, when in fact he started it in a hotel in Chicago (though I have no qualms in admitting that he did work with Ayres later on, perhaps even from his living room...FOR CHARITY), she lied about the sizes of her crowds (but maybe for someone so stupid it was challenging to tell the difference between 13 thousand and 20 thousand...at least it wasn't close to the 100,000 Obama got in a state that didn't even go blue, Missouri), she lied about being a new kind of politician when in fact she's involved in extreme cronyism in Alaska (an old friend of hers was given a job with a resume that basically said, "I like cows," kinda like Bush's beloved roommate Brownie and his horses), she said that her clothes would be given to charity, but didn't mention that that's a completely stupid and vacuous lie (I mean, how is a hobo gonna use 50 thousand dollar skirts) and that more than 150,000 was spent and her dad said she spent a Saturday frantically sorting through clothes, she said she actually had responsibilities as mayor (check out that Daily Show episode to find out the truth), she claimed that the mentally challenged baby was her son but refused to release her health records (even three time survivor of melanoma McCain had the courage to release his), she insulted Obama and doesn't seem to realize the campaign is over, and in the same breath had the gall to act as though she was worthy of a cabinet position (guess she doesn't mind working for that friend of terrorists), she called Hillary a whiner and Obama a racial epithet during primary season, but look at how she's whining about "unfair" criticism when it has all been totally fair and claimed that she should be allowed to censor the media because it violated her first amendment rights (wow, she can't even pretend she's read and understood the constitution), she said that she could get in there and make policy changes (I'd like to see her trying to tell Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton, if she's there, what to do), and the list goes on...and on...and on. Not to mention the Republican he's replacing, Dick Cheney. So yeah, I'm pretty happy about Vice President-elect Joe Biden.
