Proving there are still plenty of morons left in the world, a few hecklers at a Clinton rally held signs and chanted "iron my shirt."
Really? That's your chant? This is what you choose to complain about a Hillary Clinton ticket? There are so many legitimate things to complain about, why choose a stupid, sexist, way behind the times rallying point?
Who knew there were still people who though women should stay at home? I mean I figure if she gets the democratic ticket, there will be a debate on whether a woman can handle the pressures and all that, but "iron my shirt?!" I thought we had advanced past that.
I guess not.

Hollywood Supports Obama
Hollywood, it seems, is a fickle town. Having been Clinton supporters for the bulk of the run up to the elections are now leaving the Mrs. for Obama as he's quickly taking the top spot in the polls.
I wonder if a Baldwin will start making proclomations if Obama doesn't win now.

Obama Takes Iowa
Officially, I say the fact that a woman and a black man are the frontrunners for the Democratic nomination for President is spectacular. I'm thrilled that we have moved forward enough for this to happen.
Secretly though, I have to say I'm kind of annoyed by it. Not because of their sex or their race but because I worry the country as a whole isn't quite ready for either to be president. Like so many I'm tired of President Bush and tired of Republican rule. If the democrats put either Obama or Hilary as their nomination I'm not sure they can win. And if they don't win, we're in for four more years of this.
Last night the Iowians proved they didn't care about my opinion and voted Obama their man and Hilary as their second lady. This doesn't really mean anything, as a Caucus is mostly stupid, but the pundits will have their day and it does point to something, potentially.

Huckabee Jams On Leno
First Bill Clinton has sex plays the sax on Arsenio Hall, now Huckabee jams on Leno. What won't our politicians do to get elected?

Is Castro Retiring?
Fidel Castro, Cubas long running el Presidente made a statement on Monday saying he was ready to turn the leadership reigns over to the young people. No word yet on whether he actually had a plan on doing so, would actually do so, or was just jerking America around like he's been doing for three decades.
That's like my dad telling me when I was a kid that if he died I was ready to be man of the household. Yet, since he still lived I was just a stupid kid with his "head up his ass."

Clinton Tries To Warm Up Her Image
She may be the front runner for the Democrats, but Hillary has been taking measure of late to warm up her frosty cold image. Apparently this means more visits throughout Iowa and some cute and cuddly videos on thehilaryiknow.com.
This is different from the strategy I sent her, which was to stop public speaking alltogether, and make some cute and cuddly videos for hardcorelesbos.com.

Mitt Romney: Is America Ready For A Mormon President?
Presidential nominee Mitt Romney is a Mormon. That's not news really, except that we haven't ever had a Mormon President, and as a religion Mormonism usually sits somewhere just under Tom Cruise-inism. It is an odd religion and one that most Americans seem to associate with Utah and multiple wives.
But this nation of ours is a very divided one and that division, in many ways, is split right down the middle on religion. Certainly many "liberals" believe in a God, but their God is way different from the conservative one. Or at least that's what everybody seems to want us to believe. I don't really believe that, but I seem to be in the minority.
Anyways, Romney is doing a good job of projecting himself as one of the conservative guys and despite what most seem to believe about Mormonism, he's getting some support in that idea. Although he isn't really a front runner, he's at least on the playing field.
He recently gave a big old speech on his Mormonism in specific, and religion in the nation in general, and as can be expected it got very divided reviews.
Honestly I'm so out of the loop in terms of politics I don't know what to expect. But in a race where some of the front runners are a black man, a woman and a Mormon, this is one heck of an election for the press.
