Too much stuff

Poll
Will Congress pass Obamacare by the end of the year?

It's a Friday. It's about three weeks before Christmas. There is just too much stuff to deal with so … Let's ignore it all.

First, from the LA Times: Green Onions Suspected in E. coli Poisonings are Traced to Oxnard

Green onions that are suspected of containing a virulent pathogen that has sickened Taco Bell customers in six states were grown in Oxnard by one of Ventura County's largest vegetable growers. At least 58 cases of E. coli food poisoning have been reported in the past week, mostly in New Jersey and New York.

New Rule: Don't eat the green onions at a Taco Bell. Especially if you live in New York or New Jersey. If you live in Texas, you can eat at a real Tex-Mex restaurant. If you live in Iowa … have a Pork Tenderloin sandwich. It will kill you, but you'll die happy.

The Hillary Campaign is over. According to a Marist College poll (Marist College, for the uninitiated, is located in beautiful downtown Poughkeepsie, New York which, for those who are REALLY uninitiated is pronounced … NOO YORK) less than half of the Democrats polled would "definitely consider" voting for Hillary for President.

More disturbing for the Clintonistas is the fact that only 22% of independents would definitely consider voting for her. 45% of independents would "definitely NOT consider" voting for her.

In the head-to-head measure, we see why a lot of Democrats are concerned about her winning the nomination.

Against Condoleezza Rice: Hillary 47% Rice 43%

Against Rudy Giuliani: Hillary 43% Giuliani 49%

Against John McCain: Hillary 43% McCain 49%

We win. Yea!

The Marist poll also asked Republicans whom they favored for the nomination. The results were:

Giuliani: 24%

McCain: 23%

Rice: 15%

Gingrich: 8%

Romney: 4%

NASA has announced it has photos which show the existence of water on Mars. NASA, remember, actually MISSED Mars a couple of times. Missed a whole planet. One time it was because one set of controllers was using American measurements and another group was using the Metric system. Continued...

Problem Solution
Let's put Britany and Jennifer in charge of Iranian/Syrian negotiations. They can't do much worse than the Iraqi Surrender Group and people would definitely pay more attention.

Hillary
Hillary will be around in November '08. She has the money and the organization needed to survive.

She'll lose in '08 because she has too much Slick Willie designer baggage and that will bring out the negative vote (those who don't especially like Republicans but HATE Hillary and will vote against her).

Look for Obama to be her running mate. He's too young to solo in '08, but not in '12 or '16.
