There is a surefire way to resolve the stalemate in Washington between the so-called political establishment and the upstarts with too much power tea party. They are enjoying their clout a little too much and destroying what little progress is being made.

First a disclaimer, I'm a huge President Obama fan and plan to remain so. Through all great loves comes a little rain. Now is that time.

I am generally a calm person. I'm older and have been through a lot so it's easier to put things in perspective. Until today. There it is, on MSNBC.com, the pay czar concerned that top talent will leave financial firms if they don't continue to get their outrageious bonuses.

I wake up this morning and on the front page is the news that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. My first thought after "wow, that's terrific" (I'm an unabashed supporter) is wondering how the Republicans will spin it as a bad thing.

I'm a bit of an armchair environmentalist. I do more than most but am not fervent about it other than I drive a Prius - a great car even without the 45 mpg - recycle and shop at Whole Foods.

2008 will go down as the year everything changed.

Hard to know what to say. I feel like I've been holding my breath for two years watching Bush go from arrogance and incompetence to falling asleep at the wheel. When things went badly for him he seemed to lessen his interest in the problem.

John McCain must be in a quandary. Twice he lost to Bush because of negative ads against him when he ran what is generally believed to be an upfront campaign. Everyone was done in by the Bush-Rove style of no-slam-is-too-low politicking.

Senator Barack Obama has returned to Honolulu for the first vacation he's had since he announced his candidacy for president of the United States.

Having been on vacation I don't know if this got a lot of play, but in today's paper it states that the Saudi's are forgiving milions of dollars in debt to the Iraqi government and are sending over an Ambassador, since everything there is now hunky dorey.

This is a really funny posting by sms on First Read. I hope it's okay to link to it. I even gave it to a co-worker who supports McCain and he laughed. This will be a dirty campaign by most reports. I think humor is more effective and a lot more fun.
MSNBC is telling us why Hillary won't quit. Here's the night we have a Democratic presidential nominee after months and months of hard campaigning and what are they talking about, almost non-stop? Hillary. She's made herself the story, with the help of the media.

In this political season it's good to sometimes just laugh.
Imagine this - you're an undeclared Democratic super delegate. Everyone you ever met is pressuring you to join their team. You're courted, far more than your partner has even thought of doing. He knows he'll have to live with you if he builds you up that high.

It's a new year and a new president, history making, time for great cheer but equalized by the economic crisis. I want to focus on ways to cope and to improve quality of life when it seems to be slipping away. Little things really can make a difference.
Years ago during another political battle I was involved in and wondering why no one was bailing I was told: No one wants to be the first person to push him down the stairs but everyone wants to be the second.

Now that the delegates are all but safety tucked up in their beds, so to speak, the conventional wisdom (now known simply as CW) turns to WHO WILL HE CHOOSE?

Hi, Kathy. I've been overwhelmed with city-business and raising two awesome kids, so I haven't been on the vine lately. I appreciate your comments on the Edwards issue, you are clearly an articulate, intelligent individual, and I look forward to many more discussions as time permits. I have a burning question for you. I am a huge fan of Chuck Todd. How on Earth did you get him as one of your friends?! I'm so jealous! Anyway, I have requested you as one of my friends and I hope you will accept. I am brand-new to the vine, but I'm excited about it and hope to make as many quality friends[like you] as I can. I'm also jealous that you apparently live in Honolulu. I should hate you[kidding], but I like your thinking too much. See-ya.
