Turds That Will Not Flush
#1. Hillary Poised To Accept Obama's Job Offer As Secretary of State.
Oh, please let it be so. Who among us would not like to see the return of HRC to the national - nay, international! - spotlight? I know I would. That would explain her sudden emergence in the squee-making garbage bag ball gown last week - she's practicing for all those diplomatic formalwear occasions.
The question is not will Hillary accept the position, but rather which Hillary will accept the position? Will it be the one we saw on the campaign trail who was spackled up with pancake and the main support of the big bead industry, or will it be the more recent Golda Meir-ish/Saggy Baggy Saddlebags HRC that we've had only rare glimpses of since she gave up her quest for the presidency?
Who cares (insert interrobang here) We'll take either one. Love you, Hillz! Don't make us wait too much longer.
#2. Ted Kennedy Back At Work In Senate
"Kennedy, D-Mass., was greeted by a rousing cheer from his staff on Capitol Hill as the Senate returned for a brief session to deal with the economic crisis. "I feel fine," Kennedy said shortly before a luncheon meeting with about 100 staffers in the Senate's cavernous Russell Caucus Room. Kennedy, 76, was accompanied by his wife, Vicki, and their two dogs, Splash and Sunny."
So, to sum up: his staff, his wife and his dogs were glad he was back. May Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.
Hillary has found a way to hide everything. I spent 10 minutes looking for the link to this pic.
No telling what government secrets she can hide under there. Prolly find Jimmy Hoffa.

Ted, wife, dogs and Mary Jo's ghost all showed up? Crowded party.
I knew you'd be pleased about HRC's victorious comeback. :)

re: Ted Kennedy
It makes me sick when I hear people speak so glowingly of him. He killed Mary Jo Kopeckne, pure and simple. So far as I am concerned, he is a monster, and quite frankly, I was pleased to hear he had a brain tumor. When I heard he was better, not so much.

If there were any justice in the world, Ted Kennedy would die by slowly drowning with his eyes open, like Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll probably get fired for checking out your blog so often, but damn it will be worth it. This one had me laughing and crying from the title to Ted's dog's name - holy shit! "Splash"? Priceless...

Thanks for the photo of Hillary picking her nose.
Don't forget Ted's two cats: "Cheater" and "Plager".

Glad you're "back" - I didn't think you could stay away from all the "good stuff" going on for long - this is why I've signed on to your blog - you're the best...
