Her name is Elaine May and she's fantastic.

Reds. Tootsie. Heaven Can Wait.

Really, really smart. Unbelievably witty.

I'd sell my writers soul to be her for a week.

And all her qualifications, Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, and 34 million dollars couldn't save it from being a disaster one thousand times worse then your 3rd grade school photos.

Which is why the Clarke dust-up is both irrelevant and a trap.

     CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (June 26) - A millionaire who inflicted years of abuse
     on two Indonesian housekeepers held as virtual slaves in her Long Island
     mansion was sentenced Thursday. The victims testified that they were
     beaten with brooms and umbrellas, slashed with knives, and forced to
     climb stairs and take freezing showers as punishment. One victim was
     forced to eat chili peppers against her will, and then was forced to eat
     her own vomit when she couldn't keep the peppers down, prosecutors said.

Ralph Nader on Barack Obama:

There's only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He's half African-American," Nader told the paper. "Whether that will make any difference, I don't know. I haven't heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What's keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white?"

Worth a cool 15-20 milly and yet you're still maxed on the plastic?

McCains report more than $100,000 in credit card debt

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his wife reported more than $100,000 of credit card liabilities, according to financial disclosure documents released Friday.

The presidential candidate and his wife Cindy reported piling up debt on a charge card between $10,000 and $15,000. His wife's solo charge card has between $100,000 and $250,000 in debt to American Express.

McCain's wife also has a second American Express charge card listed on the senator's financial disclosure that was carrying $100,000 to $250,000 in debt.

Another charge card with American Express, this one for a "dependent child," is carrying debt in the range of $15,000 and $50,000.

Bill Kristol on Fox News Sunday (this weekend) speaking of Obama:

"Its just factually true that electing someone with the policies he's articulated, I think, increases the risk of enemies testing him in his first months in office and allies being worried that he's too weak..."

You can only see two of the wheels, but trust me there are four.

Also we got a windshield and a grill.

Some lights.

That door on the side is how you get inside.

Walk up the steps and you'll find a driver's seat and a steering device (similar to the one in your car).

Take a long good look because being able to identify a bus is the first step to being able to tell whether or not you've been... well... another picture is in order:

Obama is doing a pre-emtive strike on Pre-Heliocentrists.

He assumes that Pre-Heliocentrists will create fear by playing the "Earth" card.

Bringing up Galileo is what got Pope Urban VIII into trouble isn't it?

Here's Pope Urban VIII's comment:

"What the fuck do you mean the Earth revolves around the Sun?

Here's Obama's comment:

"We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid. They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And he doesn't believe in Father Grassi's Astronomical Disputation on the Three Comets of the Year 1618!"

Sorry about your privacy, which I took when I listened in on your phone calls, but as the Attorney General stipulated, at the behest of the President, I was hunting terrorists, so... it must've been really awful when your brother drank himself to death.
