Well, here's a reason for hrc to bow out:
Looking ahead to the General Election in November, John McCain continues to lead both potential Democratic opponents. On Friday morning, McCain leads Barack Obama 49% to 41% and Hillary Clinton 51% to 41% (see recent daily results). New polling from Minnesota shows a very close race in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. With those new poll results, Minnesota moves from Likely Democratic to Leans Democratic in the Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator.
We need a single candidate to start going after mcAnus very soon, like now, before people get any more comfortable with the concept of a mccain presidency.

Perhaps it is fitting that the 25th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" speech falls on Easter Sunday. After all, many had believed Reagan's grand plan for a system that would render Moscow's nuclear-tipped missiles "impotent and obsolete" died along with the Soviet Union. But "Star Wars" has been resurrected, and has been standing guard over America's skies since 2004. But the more than $120 billion spent over 25 years to build the "Star Wars" missile shield has not left the U.S. less vulnerable to attack - some would argue that it has done exactly the opposite, by diverting resources away from dealing with more urgent and plausible threats.

Okay, how much money has this company given to the GOP?
The Associated Press has learned that the two contractors fired for snooping into Barack Obama's passport records worked for a Virginia-based company called Stanley Inc.
Earlier this week, the 3,500-person company won a five-year, $570-million contract to support passport services at the State Department.
The company is referring all questions to the State Department. An agency official confirmed that the two contractors had been employed at Stanley. The official requested anonymity because the information had not been publicly released.

All you anti-mercury nuts just want the League of Nations to control us.
Another thing Frank Zappa mentions about his childhood was all the mercury. He actually had a room messy with mercury balls that had been covered with dust and hair. One day his dad brought home a huge bag of DDT, which he ate a bit of to demonstrate its harmlessness. And there was a certain amount of crackpot dentistry and doctors.
QUESTION: Why are you not naming the companies? It's a public contract.
MR. MCCORMACK: Well, look, it's a legitimate question. We're taking a look at it. I think, at this point, we've just started an investigation. We want to err on the side of caution and allow investigators to get a start without some of the attention that comes with talking about the names of the contractors. We will see. We'll -- it's something that we're taking under advisement and - but at this point in time, we're not going to talk about.

"Americans Dash Through Rain to McCain's London Fundraiser
LONDON -- Sen. John McCain took a break from meetings with high-level government officials in Europe and the Middle East this afternoon for a good, old-fashioned $1,000 to $2,300 presidential fundraiser in the heart of downtown London.
Mark Penn is again making an ass out of himself by saying Bill Richardson's nod to Obama is insignificant.

I resent the fact that the Clinton people are now saying that my endorsement is too late because I only can help with Texans — with Texas and Hispanics, implying that that's my only value," the New Mexico governor told CNN's John King. "That's typical of some of his advisers that kind of turned me off."

I think it's "important" in that it gives Obama a nice note of momentum to end the week, along with a very favorable CBS poll on his speech and the Politico article that may become all-enpowering when it looked for a bit like Obama's sinking was possible.

(and women who go on week-long ER binges at libraries are also very sexy, imho)
Oh, well, then. You and I would get along just famously. I grew up in the library. Mom was a librarian up until I was about 10, and from the time I could walk, she took me to work with her. She would sit me in a corner with a pile of books, and there I would sit, all day, every day. For years. Had my very own library card, and signed my very own name, at age three. I was very sad when I had to start kindergarten and had to spend time with all those illiterate children, still putzing around with learning their ABC's.

Very nice, but we are coming across great Japanese stuff all the time. Around the same time that awful Tom Cruise Dances with Samurai came out there was a native analog called Twilight Samurai, which is awesome and very understated and carefully done. Right now also on YouTube there are previews of a DVD release of old Felischer Brothers style cartoons from the Japan of the 30s and 40s. Which is to say the least an interesting time period.

Eleanor has never been introduced to us as sexually repressed and does not seem to have bneen repressed in any other way. There was a very messy thing prior to FDR's larger career in which Eleanor discoverd FDR was binking
a secretary (which all businessmen above the level of a door to door salesman considered their prerogative at the time) and Eleanor was horrified.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. I tried watching the American Experience about her the other night, but was distracted by shiny things.

She was a prolific letter writer who wrote with real emotional depth about her feelings of the moment, but managed in all her correspondence never to really reveal that about herself. Really a product of the prose of that time and her upbringing.
Franklin on the other hand, much like we've heard about many politically successful Presidents (and really who was more successful then him?) was a friendly to most people, chatty, and you left the room without knowing much about what made him tick.

If they were investment properties, someone was renting them
Possibly not. There are plenty of stories of people owning 3,4, or more houses with absolutely NO intention of renting. It was buy, hold for 6 months, sell at profit.
When you can get 100% lending with no money down, no income verification, and "prices always go up" -- well, you see how quickly folks got into trouble with this.
That said, yes, clearly, there's thousands of people losing their homes, and of course, they have to go *somewhere*. My assumption is back into apartments.

Because he was neither a goat nor a pig and no other edibles were available. Yet another reason to convert to Easter Pig.

Eleanor has never been introduced to us as sexually repressed and does not seem to have bneen repressed in any other way. There was a very messy thing prior to FDR's larger career in which Eleanor discoverd FDR was binking
a secretary (which all businessmen above the level of a door to door salesman considered their prerogative at the time) and Eleanor was horrified.
She had a very tough childhood. Her mother was fragile and died young and her father was an alcoholic and black sheep of the family who was off most of the time receiving some form of treatmnt. He then died also when she was young.
Eleanor was then shunted off from one distant relative to another. So she had very understandable abandonment issues. She also had careless and carefree female relatives who mentioned she wasn't attractive.
Those scars last with a person.
She had many amazing qualities, particularly intelligence and work ethic, but boy were she and Franklin a bad personal match. Great politically, otherwise not so much.

Adam H - It certainly isn't much of a shock to think that a leader of a predominantly black congregation would not be willing to preach American exceptionalism to a church full of its victims. Especially when out and out racist diatribe spills from pulpits all across suburbia, whose critics are described as being too "Politically Correct". The Christian triumphalist streak in politics may not have run its course yet, but in this election there is a chance that it can be defeated and marginalized. I still hope that Obama can do that.
