LAST ACTION HILLARY
Re: Andrew Cline's American Woman:

May 29, 1953 -- Sir Edmund slumped in the snow, his breathing ragged and labored. "I can go no further," he rasped as the Sherpa guides and porters gathered silently around. With but 200 yards to the summit, Sir Edmund was played out completely and the climb might fail unless I could summon the will to rescue my future namesake. I heaved Sir Edmund and his oxygen tanks to my shoulder and began to climb. The Sherpas couldn't believe it. When we finally reached the top, I took a drag of my Lucky Strike and laughed sardonically to myself, "Men. Who needs 'em?" I've been climbing and looking down on the whole world ever since. Not bad for a six year old, huh guys?

Thank you, Andrew Cline. I never knew those things about Hillary! They're so darn exciting that they read more like fiction than real life. What humility for her to have kept them quiet all this time!

When they make a movie about her life, those episodes MUST be featured.

I wonder who they'll get to play her. Sigourney Weaver is my guess. Although she might not have all of the strengths required to do it justice, who else could?

I have the title ready: "Hillary Clinton: Action Hero."
-- A. C. Santore

I think she used a 1911 from Les Baer (Thunder Ranch), Ed Brown, or Wilson (Tactical Super Grade).

A MAN IN FALL
Re: Letters (under "A Man for All Frogkissers") in Reader Mail's It's the Stupid Economy and William Yeatman's A Maverick Climate Policy:

This is in response to Adam from Dallas's letter on McCain and his imploring Republicans not to bicker over McCain's global warming craziness.

I believe we conservatives better keep up our complaints because if McCain gets elected with Independents and upset Democrats, he won't listen to our complaints anyway. He has ignored conservatives, and I think he will continue to do so. It would be nice to think that he is saying these things on global warming and has put forth his McCain-Lieberman bill just to attract left of center folks to vote for him, but it's more than that. He is left of center, and he is like a dog with a bone -- once he gets his teeth into an idea, no one can talk him out of it. That's what I fear is taking place with his global warming crapola.

Like I said a few months back--he has a lot of Democrat friends. I just hope the economy can survive the next four years, because whoever is president is bound to make a shaky economy crumble.

At this point, I am not overly concerned about the economy not being McCain's strong suit. Considering the electorate's pre-occupation with the superficial, I am more worried about his rumpled suit. He doesn't look like the Straight Talk Express -- more like he rode a Trailways bus from Georgia to Amarillo and rolled up his jacket for a pillow. Obama looks like a page out of GQ by comparison and like it or not, clothes make the man. Had I been a Democrat I could have never voted for Al Gore. The vent in his jacket was over-strained by his gluteus maximus (big butt for those in Rio Linda).

Someone should tell Cindy her Barbie Doll days are over. Better do something with her over-long and over blonde tresses. Could she be trying to look really young to offset the really old? She looked quite svelte back in 2000, but alas, has been seized by the notion that more is better. Not when you have a face like a baby barn owl.

Sorry, just thought it was time for some really shallow observation. All of this taking McCain's measure in various areas of expertise got me to wondering, when have we ever had a president who could keep all the plates in the air unaided? Could the McCain critics name one? At least this guy has already sown all his wild oats. Get Sweet William Clinton back in there and it is Animal House all over again - "pulling all-nighters discussing policy over pizza..."

My Gosh, Jimmeh Cahtah even discussed affairs of state with Amy and valued her opinion. Wife Rosalind sat in on Cabinet meetings. Cindy hasn't threatened to do that, yet.
