5/26    Is it correct to call someone the daughter of Puerto Rican
        "immigrants"? Seems wrong to me. Puerto Ricans get US Passports.
        \_ Yes it is correct.
           \_ Thanks! Obama immigrated from Hawaii, right?
              \_ Not the same.  Doubly not the same in the early 50s.  Go watch
                 yourself some West Side Story.

12/11   Congress makes me sick. They forked over $700B to the banks with
    less hand-wringing. $15B is chump change. Just do it. They don't
    deserve it, but neither did the banks.
        \_ The $700B was a loan.
           \_ and we're gonna get every penny back, with interest!  or how
              about this:  it would have been much worse if we hadn't loaned

12/3    When politicians lose elections, they often claim it's because the
        voters were stupid.  Here's an interesting new survey:
        - 35 % of McCain voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.
        - 18% of Obama voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.
        - McCain voters knew which party controls congress by a 63-27 margin.
        - Obama voters got the 'congressional control' question wrong by 43-41.

        Note I predicted this a year ago, luckily (?) with the way information
        moves, it shouldn't take them 12 years to discover that extremism is
        a losing strategy, the way it did with the Dems.
        \_ You do know that McCain was about as left as you can go and still be

        Cindy McCain:
        Sarah Palin:
        \_ The hormones screaming in my brain say Palin since she is still
           of breeding age.  I reallydoubt McCain needs birth control anymore.

John McCain, who faced hometown reporters yesterday in his first news conference since losing the presidential election, pledged to return to the regular work of a senator and defended his decision to pick Alaska Gov. "I'm very happy to be back and looking -- already spending several days at work here, and looking forward to a very active agenda, and looking forward to resuming my duties in the Senate and with the significant challenges that we face," McCain said in Phoenix. The Republican from Arizona said he looks forward to returning to the Indian Affairs Committee and to making another visit to Iraq and Afghanistan. Asked why he chose Palin, McCain said the main reason was "her qualifications," adding that he knew she would be an "energizing factor" in the race. "Well, primarily, it was her qualifications, her reform agenda," McCain told reporters. "She took on and defeated an incumbent governor of her own party. She had attacked corruption that she saw there in Alaska. McCain said that he remains "honored" to have served Arizona and that he plans to run for reelection in 2010. He dismissed ideas that he might run for president again, saying that if he wins in 2010, he will pledge to serve a full six-year term. He said he will continue pressing for immigration reform in the Senate, despite the issue's political pitfalls. "Running for reelection has never been a concern of mine as far as issues like that are concerned. I intend to discuss that with the president-elect," he said of immigration.
