Another Thompson

Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, and now Fred Thompson. Media-created superstars. Thompson of course, in the political arena. He is about to put all speculation to rest by announcing his candidacy. Excuse me while I barf in my predictability barf bag.

And seriously, do they expect any significant results for a guy who thinks having a vlog-war with Michael Moore is a macho thing to do?

All this speculation is pointless. I am writing this post just so that I can goat in february about having been right. The Republican candidate for 08 is Mitt Romney. Doesn't make me happy, but doesn't make me as sad as the idea of Giuliani or McCain having a shot at the top job.

How Green Is My Backyard?

Hillary Clinton finally made it official that she's throwing her hat in the ring for 2008. No one's surprised by the announcement. What is funny though is the greenery visible through the window behind her, which is so not January-in-the-north-east, no matter how mild the winter has been. Green leaves, blooming flowers and all. It is obvious she shot this video a few months back. Not that there's anything wrong with it. But funny.
