First of all, I've got no problem with someone who won't commit to supporting a party without knowing who the party is running. I'm a lifelong Democrat, but I voted for Bloomberg when he was a Republican and when he ran as an Independent. The Dems ran losers both times.<BR/><BR/>I know this all sounds like I'm in favor of her getting the seat, but I'm really not taking a position.

And like I said I'm not really thrilled about any of the choices (I just don't have the visceral anti-Kennedy thing that you do). Actually, as far as Kennedy's go, you've got to admit that Caroline is the least embarrassing one in the clan these days.<BR/><BR/>And no offense but I doubt Obama is going to put Andrew Cuomo very high on his callback list.<BR/><BR/>Jeff, we don't have "The Five" cell phone idiots here.

Gwyneth P. in a field with a puppy...I think that's it. Oh, and Britney Spears overly madeup and canoodling -- that one might be for perfume, too. Maybe your glut is a NY/LA thing. WalMart commercials we got. McDonalds, Glade candles, and "The Five" cell phone idiots we got. Next year's sooper hybrid soybean seed we got. Not much perfume.<BR/><BR/>If the external hard drive is mounting, then you should be able to use Disk Utility (I always forget, you have a Mac, yes?) to reformat the thing. Purge the sucka back to the Iron Age* and it should work fine.<BR/><BR/>Kennedy, Kennedy. Political dynasties in America are just wrong. The 2000 election was a drag the minute it narrowed to Bush and Gore (I was hoping for a Bradley/McCain race). You're right: experience is (no pun) relative. I'd be more concerned that I hear she's declined to commit to supporting a Dem in the mayor's race, and has a meager record of even bothering to vote. If you're going to go with a NY celebrity for the Senate, I endorse tapping Sam Waterston.<BR/><BR/><BR/>*That's an Elements funny, see, because the disk is technically made of rust...HAH!...heh...hmm...Jeff Hentoszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060570930866182531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-31874533846249682632008-12-22T13:14:00.000-05:002008-12-22T13:14:00.000-05:00I want the fucking Kennedys out of American politi...I want the fucking Kennedys out of American politics for good, so I vote no in the Senator / Intern thing. <BR/><BR/>Don't tell me any Senator from the States of New York or California can't get the President on the line pronto, no matter who they are or how junior they are.

Sounds like something you'd buy from Ikea. <BR/><BR/>Notice in the commerical that when she takes the scissors to her pant legs they are ragged cuts, but when she tears the rest of the pant leg away, they are perfectly straight, even cuts.
