Hillary Objects to Confederate Flag... Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that South Carolina should remove the Confederate flag from its Statehouse grounds, in part because the nation should unite under one banner while at war. It is part of our history. It cannot be erased. It is part of our heritage, be it good or bad. I object to Hillary. Take that!!!! Of course she wants it to be removed. Her biggest presidential rival is black. She's gotta get that black vote too. I thank God everyday that I'm not a politician and am, for the most part, honest.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday said his country was ready to stop its enrichment program and return to talks provided Western nations also stopped their own. That only seems fair. But the U.S. won't do that because we don't have to. We're the U.S.A.
























OUCH!!!

Connie Booth (John Cleese's wife) was also in lots of Monty Python stuff, most memorably as "The Witch" in the Holy Grail movie (remember-she weighed as much as a duck, was therefore made of wood, and hence a witch).
