Wow... Steady as she goes

Barack Obama really is a calming force... Steady as she goes.  i believe this is where i pat myself on the back for predicting his debate performance (see my previous post).  i believe i said he would be steady, confident, diligent and respectful.  i would now add knowledgeable and prepared.  We got a winner here, folks!

New Rule: it's not hero worship to like Obama.  (ala Bill Maher)  

Check out this great column:  Tina Fey, please save us!  Tina Fey is a goddess.  Congrats Tina!  And thank you, sister.

Bitch Alert! 

Bill Clinton, shut your fracking mouth!  Check this out: he's slightly nicer than me.  Man oh man, the taste of power must be sweet.  Actually, it's probably more like a drug.  Not as sweet and you crave it more... destructively more.  How do the good guys/gals do it?  How do some politicians manage to avoid the pitfalls of power?  i don't know.... topic for another day.

And it's NOT just the taste of power, Clinton has such an ego.  The man has an amazing ability to compartmentalize.  i assume he has put his humility in a box somewhere in his brain and thrown away the key.  Just like i can't listen to George Bush or Darth Cheney, i can no longer stand listening to Bill Clinton.  He's now on my "pests" list.  My list of pests is long; people who are like flies in the fall; you swat them away. The list includes Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Imus, Michael Savage, the cast of Entourage, etc. etc. etc.  I wonder how Maddow's show did up against Larry King when Clinton was on last week?  It would be cool if Rachel's numbers beat Larry's that night.
