    New Year's Resolution for other people.

    5. For Hillary and Obama. Be real. Say something! Anything that makes us believe that you can speak to the problems facing this country and the world, not in high flown generalities but in the specifics that an Al Gore commands. If either of you gets the Democratic nomination, you will be up against a McCain or a Giuliani, both of whom are lurching dangerously to the right to gain their party's nomination, and will say or do anything to win the election. Both are self-absorbed, power hungry, hypocritical men who do not have the answers to the problems we face today. Show us that you do. And soon.

    New Year's advice to rescue the Bush Administration

    6) Speaking of your legacy, it can't be Iraq (see item #9 below). So fire Cheney, replace him with Condi and BOOM! There's your legacy.

    see link for the other nine.

    Not that I wouldn't like to see him gone, but he's not fire-able.

    He's elected, just like Bush, so only impeachment gets him gone.

    The Constitution is such an impediment sometimes!



    "Being a drunk or a comic doesn't cut it anymore. W.C. Fields managed to be both, and to be funny, but then he only muttered his abuse at small children, who have always been a resilient species."

    (from the link above.)

    I agree that W.C. Fields had it in for children. When asked if he liked them, he answered, "If they are cooked properly." He was about to strike his son across the head for saying, "You don't love me, Daddy." His real-life son met him for the first time in his thirties during a scheduled appointment that didn't go well.

    But he also is quoted with this early Gibson/Richards-like line: "There's a dark-complected gentleman in the fuel supply." I think you can translate that.

    W.C. was an equal opportunity basher. Even cities earned his scorn. On his tombstone: "Better here than Philadelphia!"
