Scott McClellan is free to write, publish and promote a book that is critical of his old boss George W. Bush. Everyone else (in the USA) is free to read it and talk about it. That is a good thing.

The headline in the Washington Post says Clinton Sorry. The report says that she apologized for her recent reference to the RFK assassination.

I don’t know if the quote at the end of the piece is complete, but I read it for context and I do not see the word sorry. An apology from Hillary Clinton is a lot like Heidi Diaz coming clean.

I wrote the first part of this entry without watching the video of Hillary’s comment (the one for for which she ‘apologized’). I have to admit that it doesn’t sound as bad as it looks in print.

I was obsessing about politics and I saw some derogatory term that I didn’t understand. I went over to the urban dictionary. None of the ‘definitions’ for my term were remotely plausible, darn kids.

I noticed that scientology is paying to advertise on urban dictionary as well as YouTube.

I am willing to sell this blog to scientology for a reasonable offer.

The founder of lifelock has famously displayed his social insurance number on the splash page for his product. Detractors like to say that his identity was stolen (or at least that an attempt was made) shortly after that. I say ‘SO WHAT?’

The service offered to consumers does not involve publishing your information on their homepage. It involves periodically triggering the heightened vigilance that is inherent in the system. Certain large companies are upset because they carry out the heightened security and it costs them money that they cannot legally pass on directly to individuals. That gets another SO WHAT? from me. Lifelock provides more security for its customers and they have a huge guarantee should this security get breached. I would hate to have my identity stolen and I worry about it occasionally.

The above video is best presented without commentary.

I want to make a short post about how I recently found a VISA card that had been left in an ATM. I approached the machine that was outside on a main street. It was beeping frantically and displaying in a language that I cannot read. I pressed a random button and the card came out. I looked at the name and then looked around for possible card owners. I didn’t see any, but I saw a police officer and I showed the card to her. She pointed way up the hill at an old man walking with a cane and told me to run after him. He responded to the name on the card and I gave it to him with a pat on the shoulder. He thanked me.

The man who still stands a chance at being the First Man was once rumored to have a thing for Belinda Stronach.

Having a girlfriend in Canada is a cliche. Denying it is untypical, but Bill is a bit of a maverick.

I left this post unfinished earlier and I want to make a small retraction. Bill no longer stands a chance at being the First Man.

I am not an idiot. I know that when Michelle Obama recently reminisced about her early discouragement of Barack’s political ambitions and used the words these people are mean, she was launching a not so subtle dig at Hillary Clinton. I think that she has a point. Washington seems to have become a ‘win at all costs’ place in recent decades and the people who are best suited to that environment have gravitated there and flourished. Obama does seem to be substantively different than ‘those people’ and ‘those people’ might prevent him from changing the political landscape. Those people only have one vote each.

While George Bush is busy not saying the word depression, the metals markets are getting busy. If you are a regular person and you want to make some money on the silver market, you need to work with a company like Monex Precious Metals. They can deliver metal to you or you can choose to have it held by a trusted financial institution. While many people prefer to actually have their hands on gold, the weights involved with silver and other less valuable metals make transport and storage less convenient.

Monex Precious Metals has been serving investors for over 30 years and their recent press release makes a strong argument in favor of buying silver.

I get a trickle of traffic coming to this blog based on searches for lingerie. I have done a handful of reviews on online stores that sell the stuff. I do not pretend to be an expert on lingerie and I may have even misspelled it at some point, which accounts for the search engine traffic that I get from people who are looking for pictures of lingeri.

Tom Cruise was back on an Oprah set. The audience of the taped interview has been sworn to secrecy. I suspect that some of them will anonymously blog about it before the show airs.

Tom is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the movie in which he played a minor living of the avails of (heterosexual) prostitution and occasionally dancing in tighty-whiteys.
