    Random Recitals

    Democrats Have Committed Political Suicide

    Pelosi says public option is dead

    It is over for the Democrats even if they pass the Senate bill.  This legislation will be too little too late for them in November.  And if they don’t fix things quickly, they will be marginalized for at least a generation if not longer.  So sad.

    Looks like this is the only thing [...]

    A Woman in a Hot Air Balloon

    A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she’s lost. When she lowers her altitude, she spots a man in a boat below and shouts to him:

    “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”

    The man consults his portable GPS and replies, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately [...]
