Egg Laying Hens To Be Regulated by Politicians/Bureaucrats
NOTE: This is not a joke. Used to be when Johnny Carson was alive, but now you know why Hollywood loves Democrats, they are a hell of a free source of brain dead material.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and a half dozen other senators have proposed legislation setting a uniform national standard for the treatment of egg-laying hens ...

Bill Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy
During a fundraising event in Monaco, former president Bill Clinton was photographed with two adult film stars. According to one of the women, Brooklyn Lee, it happened this way:

"He kind of was looking over at us every once and a while. And we’re huge, psycho fans of Bill. We just think he’s really cute. So we end up wandering by. And we were going to approach him to take a picture and his Secret Service sort of brushed us away. And as we were walking away, Bill actually had the Secret Service guy call us back, to come hang out. [He was] really, really sweet. I told him I loved him, that he was a great president and he just kind of winked and smiled and gave us hugs and stuff."

The other woman, Tasha Regan, said: “We feel sympathetic for Bill and I hope this doesn’t hurt his re-election or whatever he’s trying to run for.” At this point, Clinton may be “running” for opportunities receive the adoration of folks like Ms. Lee and Ms. Regan. More power to him.

Regan added that Clinton didn’t inquire about the profession of the two women. Perhaps he intuited the answer.

#1  Perhaps he intuited the answer.

Birds of a feather, flock together.

#2  Regan added that Clinton didn't inquire about the profession of the two women.

He assumed they were Mormon missionaries no doubt.

#3  Heaven forbid they were Mormons [according to the NYT], better to be in the congregation hearing the unreported sermons of the Rev. Wright.

Perhaps he intuited the answer.

Hmmm...you mean by lines of the craft and the drop tanks attached to the fuselage?

#4  fundraising event in Monaco,

And precisely who was raising funds for what? Was this one of those "don't ask, don't tell" Democrat money grabs by any chance?

#5  "We feel sympathetic for Bill and I hope this doesn't hurt his re-election or whatever he's trying to run for."

Oooooooookay...

-Election 2012
VP Biden admits having grief stricken suicidal thoughts in his past
I still believe Obama will dump this fellow for the Beast.
I don't think she wants it. Not with Champ, at least...

#1  More than the Beast, it is Bill who wants the access, the power. Once the dog has tasted the delicacies of the chicken house, he's doomed.

#2  Nah. Too easy.
Posted by: Iblis || 05/26/2012 10:05 Comments || Top||

#3  I don't think she wants it. Not with Champ, at least...

She'd do it. If she can stay married to Bubba she can do anything.

#4  Not a big fan of Biden, but did any of you read the story?
It's like anything else. Until you've been where he's been, and I have, you won't understand where he's coming from. For once, Joe nailed it pretty good.

#5  Eating your own foot does not count.

At any rate, if he is going to get thrown under, there are at least two contentions:
1. It would prove as a mistake for Champ, having to admit he is fallable.
2. Hillary! has said as much she is done; also a number of the foreign policy wtfs have been placed on her rightfully or wrongfully. She is not the force she was in '08 even if an improvement over Uncle Joey.

#6  I believe Team Obama will insist on keeping Biden, because BO needs a foil. A harmless old man succumbing to senile dementia is about the only type who won't steal BO's thunder. The contrast of Hillary would shine a spotlight on his incompetence.

#7  tu3031, yes I agree, but also remember the crocodile tears in his debate performance.

If they want to replace the veep, the only option to do so without loss of face to Champ is to create him so emotionally unstable as to have no other choice; for his own good dontchyaknow?

#8  Joe could always clutch his chest.

Or, more believably, his head.

#9  Vice President Biden is the only real politician of the bunch. They need his instincts, the kind that would lead him to tell such a personal story to exactly the people who needed to hear it. Our esteemed secretary of state has no such instincts, and I don,t see her husband coaching her behind the scenese to help the man who kept him from returning to the White House.

#10  Hillary will be blamed for Obamas loss if she signs on to be vp. Biden would not be a seikus candidate next go around if Obama loses. Few vps actully go on to winon their own. Hiary would be a fool to accept the position.

4 to 8 years from ow she will be the only name in the game. Mitt will have done the dirty work required to fix thd economy and tbe American people will be tired of him. She will allow herself to be drafted at that point.

#1  Notice the title? "The Survival of Urban America."

Please e-mail me your questions, the bell is about to ring.

#2  What fraction of the US electorate gives a damn about this?

#3  They'd be more pissed off if they found out he used to bogart joints...

#4  Ward boss, Urban Inequality, classic. To be honest and disagree appropriately, but for a candidate, other than pandering for certain votes, as on its own just looks as a pander for votes. However, it is another piece in the puzzle, brick in the wall. Its a good thing we are finding these things out before he was elected as president. Wait? Huh?

Who has two elbows and bogarts joints?
That Guy.
