  progressive fealty or their politically expedient treachery. Judge Southwick's nomination is coming to the Senate floor whether we like it or not.

  The comb-over caucus met again for another one of their unforgetable debates yesterday morning on This Week with Georgie the Greek.

  At some point, we need to give up on this fantasy ticket idea. It is as likely as a Paris Hilton presidency. I entertained the delusion of a Clinton/Obama ticket actively-you can go back and check.

  Having won both High School and College Student Government elections, I am struck by the unoriginal observation that running for President these days bears an uncomfortable resemblance to the shallow preening and empty symbolism employed by children trying to impress and influence each other.
