"Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things...every one! So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor." -- Matt Santos, The West Wing

Nobody Asked Me, But....

1) Barack Obama has now named three alumni of the high school I graduated from to his administration. Beat THAT, Bronx Science!

2) I think Joe Klein nails it. I think this was the worst from the worst President in history.

3) Starving people for profit. Nice.

4) There's dumb, and then there's dumber. First of all, it would occur to terrorists to do this before the cops could. One of the most notable events of 9/11 in New York was that cell phones stopped working, as the tower on top of the Trade Center shut down, forcing all that traffic onto alternate towers, which resulted in a cascading failure and spotty coverage in cell service. Next, NYC has precious few payphones left simply because so many people use cell phones now. Take away cell service, and you're going to cause even MORE panic.

5) If you bet 500,000 or fewer, YOU LOST!

6) Wait a minute...Sarah Palin thinks Caroline Kennedy is getting sympathetic treatment???? Maybe it's because her kid isn't the town tramp!

7) "Hey Barack Obama! You've just been inaugurated President! What are you going to do now?" "I'm going to DISNEYWORLD!"

8) Is The Big One finally here, California?

9) Errrrrr, squirrel-flavored potato chips? It must be in the water. That's why they're yellow!

10) Now, is this the Abominable Monster or the Loch Ness Snowman? Whatever, it's fucking COLD in Aberdeen, Scotland!
