After my post yesterday about Sen. Dianne Feinstein sending two different shots across President-elect Barack Obama’s bow in one day (Tuesday), Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), the Senate Majority Leader, made his own statements as well in an interview he gave to The Hill on Tuesday as well: “Even though we’re one short of 60 [senators […]

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) was an early (July 2007) endorser of Hillary Clinton’s run for the US Presidency. At the same time, Sen. Feinstein was the one who provided her DC home for a private meeting between Clinton and Obama last June that led to Clinton ending her campaign and endorsing Obama’s candidacy. So, Feinstein […]

I ran across this some months back and just found a link to it again. Some how appropriate for New Year’s Day (though it might have been more appropriate for New Year’s Eve): The time it took to put this together is a bit staggering. But impressive. ..bruce w..

Back when Dave Barry still wrote a weekly column, Sandra and I had a Sunday morning tradition where I’d read the column out loud to her while she was getting ready for church. The highlight of each year was Dave’s annual recounting of the events of that year, in his own style. Well, he stopped […]
