Bloomberg acted like he had never heard of McCrory until Pat called him and said they had met a few times, something Bloomberg obviously forgot; why mention that?

wonder if any of the mayorswill call on the US military to get completely out of Iraq and Afghanistan?? After all, its a zero sum game, the billions spent on maintaining world empire cannot be spent on meeting human needs at home.

I'm thinking about starting a betting book. Anyone care to wager on the over-under of how many visits she makes to this Charlotte office? It wouldn't be like Queen Bev to actually work much, following in the footsteps of King Hunt and King Mike.

Smart move Dumpling. A moving target is harder to hit. Picking out curtains for each office should keep her busy for the first year.

The old media and the liberal establishment smeared Palin because she terrified them with her popularity with voters. They fear her because she is off the teather of their influence and they think they run the show.

There are none so blind as those who will not see. More power to y'all; that should certainly cause the final crash and burn of Republicans.
