I guess Clinton was disappointed that The DNC agreed to seat the all the delegates from Michigan and Florida, but only giving them 1/2 vote each. While trailing badly in the delegate count, she continues to claim she has won the majority of the popular vote. Has she forgotten that winning the popular vote doesn't mean diddly-squat. Gore won the popular vote in the 2000 general election but Dubya got the narrow edge in electoral votes. And those are what puts a person in the White House. Just ask Al, Hillary.

In the old "X-Files" series, Mulder had a poster on the wall that said:

"I want to believe"

Even he would have would had trouble dealing with this one, which has received global media attention. Even FOX and CNN have carried it. Must have been a slow news day.

I am jealous. One of the first countries to commit troops to the war in Iraq, Australia, is going to start withdrawal from the war zone this week.

It is with great regret that I report the death of Yves Saint Laurent. At one time in my life I was actually slim enough to wear his clothing line, and did.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again later.
