A Short Round Up

The City Of Brotherly Love
A worker at a K Mart was shot by the angry boyfriend of a fellow worker and is in critical condition. A man and a female employee were arguing at the store and when the other employee intervened he was shot. Some people are animals and should be locked away or exterminated. But, I must say that it does not surprise me that it happened in Philly. This is the place where people were intimidated at polling places on election day by a couple of Black Panthers, one of whom was carrying a night stick. My Way News
Fred Thompson Has A New Video Out On The Economy
Fred Thompson has a great video out that explains the economic situation and how we got here as well as the “plan” for fixing it. He says that we are being told to do more of what got us into trouble and equates it to telling a fat man that in order to lose weight he has to eat more doughnuts. You can see it at Fred Thompson PAC.
Harry Reid Does Not Like to Smell The Commoners
The New Capitol Visitor’s Center opened way off schedule and way, way, way over budget (gee, government over budget, who would of thought?). The area will allow people to wait inside while awaiting a tour of the building. Harry Reid is happy with the center because now he won’t have to be bothered with all the smelly tourists, you know, the people who pay his salary and who he is supposed to work for. Harry said that in the Summer when people are waiting outside they get all smelly and then when they come in he can smell them. The government spent $621 billion so that Harry Reid would not have to be bothered with the smell of the peasants. DC Examiner
Bill Clinton To Fill Hillary’s Seat?
If Hillary Clinton is confirmed as Secretary of State (she will be confirmed but I hope they ask her really tough questions about her past and she gets treated like she treated Bush nominees) then the Governor of New York will have to appoint someone to take her Senate seat until the next election (in 2 years). There are plenty of names in the hat but Governor David Paterson needs to be careful that he does not crack fragile egos when he makes the selection. There are a lot of people who want that seat and his selection will tick all but one of them off. He might just select Bill Clinton to fill the vacancy. None of the others can say they have more experience than a past president (maybe as much as). I am not sure Bill would want it because it would keep him tied to DC. He likes to jet around the world and spread his seeds of Hope across the world. He might take it though because the Clintons have never really worked in private industry (if you count what they did as experience then it was very little) and they always want a government job. They are part of the elite. Right now I am sure Chelsea is boning up on all she needs to know to run for some office so that she can get her gubmint job. Why not, she already helped screw up the financial world. If he does get it, it will probably be the first time Bill filled Hillary’s seat since Monica…CNN

The Chinese Already Fund the Clintons, Why not Europe?
Nov 7, 2007 Link Fest, Political
Robert Rubin is set to endorse Hillary Clinton for president. To some this is seen as some great thing because of his experience in the financial world. Given that he supports Democrats it was just a matter of who and given that he had misgivings about her ability to be elected as well as their past run ins it is likely that his endorsement came as a result of some arm twisting by his former boss, Bill Clinton. Interestingly, the article states:
Her husband will continue his bustling fund-raising pace on her behalf, meanwhile: he will headline two major events for her in New York in the next few weeks, as well as one in New Jersey next month. He will also host fundraisers for her in Dublin and London next weekend — receptions that could be especially lucrative given his popularity in both countries, especially Ireland, where he played a major role in the Northern Ireland peace process. New York Times
Forgetting that Dublin and London are not countries, why are they raising money in other countries? Why is foreign money being used to influence an American election? Will they discuss any fund raisers in China?
After all, that is where the Clintons get their money (just ask Bill about the 8 million for AK 47s).
