Thanks, Laurie. Looks like it'll be a tough week to squeeze in my recommended daily number of posts. Thanksgiving + work + DS' 9th bday = busy week. I suspect I'm not alone.

Oooo- I would just 'gobble' those up!


I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving I have much cookin' & stuff to do tomorrow.




Here's an interesting Shame On You report that was on our local news last night. It's about Lehman Bros, their former employees, and the greed of it's CEO. If you have a couple of minutes, give it a watch:

This is so disturbing to me. The greed of that CEO is sickening! I feel horrible for those former employees. I think those greedy CEO's are the ones ruining our economy.

Aww, come on Zip.... set aside SOME time for us.... five minutes maybe?

That's adorable! I'm going to have to try and make these after Thanksgiving. Better late than never.

Good news...

Coleman is in the lead with 78% of precincts reporting.

Not so good news...

3,000 ballots have been challenged - in the end, the canvassing board will decide the winner

Good news...

Saxby Chambliss is 3 points ahead in the polls in GA and SP is going to stump for him next week.

From what I had read last night, most of the challenged votes are votes for Coleman that Franken is trying to get tossed out (like the ballot posted on our last thread). If that's true, his lead should only go up. And btw, thanks for the advice Debbie.

I'm with Zip in that I won't get my weekly posting quota anywhere near usual either. I go out of town early Thursday and don't have a laptop. So, I'll be here tomorrow night, but won't be back until sometime Sunday. Y'all will have to carry on without me, as hard as I know that will be.

Well I'll miss you. I know everyone else will too, right, guys??

Don't even bother catching up.... it doesn't work. We'll have a new thread by the time you return.

Haha!!!! More like eating more than one would make me sick.... I can't handle excessive amounts of sweets. Going to a wedding Saturday and eating mostly dessert at the reception gave me a horrible headache (I hadn't eaten all day save for a chocolate chip muffin).

Obama Team Mulls Role for Miss Lewinsky in New Administration

President-Elect Barack Obama's transition team is reported to be deeply divided over whether to offer a post to Monica Lewinsky, the former White House Intern whose intimate relationship with President Bill Clinton led to his impeachment.

Until now, Lewinsky was one of the few high-profile figures from the Clinton Presidency who had not been recruited for the incoming Obama team. Mr. Clinton's brother Roger is another, though on Friday there were rumors he would be named ambassador to Spain.

One group, which includes David Axelrod, Mr. Obama's campaign manager who has been named his senior advisor, favors the move to balance the influence of the Clinton-era policy people by adding someone with a different perspective.

A second faction led by Mr. Obama's Chief-of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is bitterly opposed believing that a Lewinsky appointment would needlessly antagonize the Clintons and their supporters. Before being elected to Congress, Mr. Emanuel served as a senior advisor to President Clinton.

Former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle, who is expected to be nominated as Secretary of Health and Human Services, responded to a reporter who asked about the Lewinsky rumors by pretending to receive a cell phone call. When the reporter took the phone from him and closed it while making a "we both know what you're doing" facial expression, Daschle said that appointing Lewinsky would be "like rubbing salt in the wounds of Senator Clinton at a time when we're supposed to be in a healing process." He added that Miss Lewinsky's presence in the White House would be "a huge distraction."

But New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who broke with the Clintons over his endorsement of Mr. Obama, said that Lewinsky was "a fresh face" with "a lot to offer." Richardson lost the post of Secretary of State to Senator Clinton and is now Mr. Obama's choice for the far less prestigious job of Secretary of Commerce. "The Obama adminstration should be focused on recruiting the best people to help us address the challenges of the future and not get bogged down in past history," he said.

The Clintons themselves have not commented on the possibility of a Lewinsky appointment though people close to her have said that Sen. Clinton was shocked and appalled by the idea. "It's a non-starter for her," said Philippe Raines, a longtime aide to Sen. Clinton. "She doesn't want to run into Monica in the West Wing ladies' room," he added.

However, Justin Cooper, who edited Mr. Clinton's autobiography, My Life, and has remained close to the former president, said that Mr. Clinton was cautiously supportive of the prospect. "He's always had great admiration for Monica's abilities," Cooper said. "I think he's just concerned that she might get in over her head if she were given a job as a political move."

Since the scandal, in addition to her status as a pop culture icon of sorts, Lewinsky has had a brief career as a handbag designer and then attended the London School of Economics where she received a master's degree in Social Psychology. Her thesis was titled "In Search of the Impartial Juror: An Exploration of the Third Person Effect and Pre-Trial Publicity."

No decision has been reached as to exactly what sort of job Lewinsky might be offered. "With her background, I could imagine her doing something on either the jurisprudence side at the Department of Justice or on the handbag side, at either the Department of Commerce or the Department of Agriculture," said Deborah Kaye, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies the Executive Branch.

Monica Lewinsky was not available for comment. Through her attorney, William Ginsburg, she released a statement, which read, in part, "I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to serve my country again at this crucial juncture in our history."

Billy Kimball is a satirist, but I'm really amazed that Yahoo News would expect everyone to be aware of that. Also, not everyone is familiar with Huff Po. Many who would stumble upon this would assume it is factual, even though it sounds unreal, because it's on Yahoo News. I guess they rank up there with the Nat'l Enq. It is sort of funny though.

Yay, a kindred spirit! I can't handle desserts or candy myself, really. Sweet tea doesn't bother me, and neither does soda; but desserts and candy do. I can eat a few bites of cake or ice cream before I start feeling nauseous. Same with most types of candy. Just never been much of a dessert fan.

I wonder just how far this will go before someone realizes that it's a joke - heee

This IS a joke, right

Where you guys at? I'm getting killed on the "welfare check" thread.

I don't know how to make it any more clear. If you owe no taxes but get a "refund" (refund of what?) check, it's welfare, a handout or income redistribution. Take your pick.

Thank God someone else is the same way! I'm the only one in my family that can't handle desserts.

And on that note, I'm off to bed. See you guys tomorrow!!!

I'm so sorry dear, but after being the brunt of alot of abuse on another thread a couple days ago, I refuse to respond to any of the threads the OS have hijacked and turned vicious. I'm scared to death to post for fear they'll.... well, I'm not even going to repeat it. SD knows what went on, she's the one that informed me.

I read the first page last night and it looked like one of those threads that only libs were posting on to give each other affirmation. Now it's up to 12 pages and not worth it to me to catch up on. I'm not surprised that they would deny your example as being welfare/income redistribution. So what do they call it??

I'll come take up a defensive position at your back, Charade, but I just don't know if I can post. I've had about enough of the talking in circles and abusive posts. I'm trying to stick here and fluff posts.

I'm sorry, Charade. I'm just staying away from posting on the CB, and from reading it for the most part. I've been reading that thread since earlier today, and I just keep hitting the "Back" button on my internet browser. It's too aggravating.

Thank God someone else is the same way! I'm the only one in my family that can't handle desserts.

Night Soarin!
