The US Federal Reserve's further US$ 600 billion `quantitative easing' - dubbed the QE2 - has raised concerns globally, with Malaysia being no exception. WHILE the recent visit of the US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton was notable for the fulsome - and warmly appreciated - praise she heaped upon Malaysia, regrettably, a less welcome gift from the US quickly followed.
Hilary Clinton in 2007 said "I don't think they're piling on because I'm a woman. I think they're piling on because..." what? Lewis "Scooter" Libby; Valerie Plame Wilson (Libby's sentence was later commuted by President [Bush])
Clinton surrogate, Geraldine Ferraro, caused a major controversy by saying Barack Obama wouldn't be winning if he weren't Black. Well, if Hillary's (second) last name wasn't Clinton (notice she's dropped Rodham, after using all through her White House years and in her Senate years), this campaign would have been over. The Democratic Party set its rules and its party unity protocols were clearly established as the ultimate goal was (because "is" as the goal is quickly becoming a thing of the past) to get a Democrat in the White House this November. But you know the Clintons make up stuff as they go. [Bill Clinton] tried to make the American public think smoking dope wasn't smoking dope ("I smoked but I didn't inhale'") and sex wasn't sex ("Exactly what is sex?" or "oral sex is not really...

[Barack Obama] fits the "fresh-face" yearning of many Democrats, especially when Mark Warner, former Governor of Virginia, dropped out of contention from a list that looked like the recent past of the Democratic party: Hilary Clinton, John Edwards, John Kerry and Al Gore. The emergence of Obama added a new charismatic face to that picture, sparking evaluations of whether he could win. Nevertheless, there is a major question of whether Obama's experience and popularity among all aspects of the Democratic constituency will allow him to be successful. Many see him as a potential substitute for Hilary Clinton's bid for the presidency and thus, might support him in order to block her path. And while rumors abound that Bill Clinton has said his wife will not seek the presidency and that Obama...
Store them. I'm sick of hearing RV owners complain about the lack of street parking for their monstrosities. If they can't afford storage they shouldn't buy one. Joint effort. Remember when Hilary Clinton said it takes a village to raise a child? Too many parents these days have handed over their children to the villagers.
The Quotable Hitchens: From Alcohol to Zionism -- The Very Best of Christopher Hitchens edited by Windor Mann, foreword by Martin Amis; Da Capo Press, 332 pages, $17 paperback original. Now that Hitchens is fighting cancer and writing about it with both candor and stylistic panache intact, it has become impossible to avoid contemplation of a world without him (whenever that arrives.) "Christopher is one of the most terrifying rhetoricians that the world has yet seen," declares his friend Martin Amis in a foreword to this splendiferous compendium of Hitchens as he is most likely first known (and last too): the wit and "terrifying rhetorician" and inimitable provocateur so few can resist quoting over the phone or in e-mails or speeches or barroom wrangles, whatever. If Wilde a...
Picture an arrow-postured blond woman (think Barbara Walters meets Hilary Clinton) holding a sky-blue pennant below a 50-foot- tall Barosaurus skeleton and rhapsodizing on the political and environmental accomplishments of Teddy Roosevelt. You're still digesting facts and figures about Roosevelt's 1909 expedition in the then-Belgian Congo and she's off on an expedition of her own, pulling you through a maze of artifact-packed rooms and relaying fascinating details (in the spirit of "Know It All" author A.J. Jacobs and/or your favorite AP biology professor) about biodiversity and fossilization and climate change.
I get excited, and I get hopeful. The change in the season effects that [In America,] it has that definite anything's-possible feeling. Flat out, I'm looking for a-not "regime change" because that might be a Freudian slip. But I'm looking for a new government It's funny that this spring has been as unpredictable weather-wise as the race for the primary. But, ultimately, I feel hopeful I'm an [Barack Obama] fan, full-on. I mean, "Hell, yeah!" If Hilary Clinton were a season; she'd be fall or winter. Obama's way more spring. TTiafs how I feel But the thing about spring, too, is it's tentative. You have to take care of things to get the good summer thing out of it You have to watch out for the blood-sucking ticks. One minute you're happy, and the next minute you've got seven ticks on you. ...
