Wrong state. It’s called Connecticut. Fortunately we are not at war with Connecticut. But don’t tell Palin.

Careful.

Groton has nukes. They can take out the entire Eastern Seaboard if they want.

If there is enough warning to get all the dwellars to safety I'm not sure I see a downside to that Glatt.

To disappoint tw in the manner I've come to enjoy, let the record show I do not have an "aggressive and derogatory" opinion about la Kennedy.

Read one of her books, about the Bill of Rights. I thought it feeble on the Second Amendment, and a fount of information on the Third. All about the one case, which never went to trial, in American jurisprudence where this Amendment was relevant.

That's about it, as far as my opinion goes.

Anyway you look at it she is not qualified to be a Senator. The whole idea that Gov's get to appoint anyone is antiquated and needs to be thrown out. They need a simple 6 week election in every case. The people should make the decision.

What would that cost?

[TheMercenary]

A lot. But it would be democratic, not autocratic as it is now. When one blind dude who became the sittng gov by default hand picks the state senator there is a problem with the system.

You have a way of taking a person totally off guard so that I find myself blindsided.


Oh hey!

Pressure mounts over replacement for Clinton

Facing one of the most nail-biting choices since the presidential election, David Paterson, the New York governor, has been told he would be guilty of “political malpractice” if he named anyone other than Caroline Kennedy as the state’s new junior representative in the Senate.

Mr Paterson, under intense pressure from some of the country’s most powerful political dynasties as he ponders his decision, has sole discretion to appoint a replacement for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is moving to the state department in Barack Obama’s administration.

Ms Kennedy, scion of the US’s most eminent political family, is credited with persuading Senator Edward Kennedy, her uncle and head of the Kennedy clan, to back Mr Obama’s presidential candidacy. It was a blow to Mrs Clinton’s presidential aspirations but it gives the Kennedys most-favoured status in the new White House.

What was described by New York political observers as Mr Sheekey’s “extraordinary” intervention has now highlighted Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s interest in a outcome that would give New York a hotline to the White House.

“If Caroline is appointed, Barack Obama has to come to New York as his first political trip to . . . support her and, in turn, New York,” Mr. Sheekey told the Daily News.

Sheldon Silver, the New York state assembly’s senior Democrat, last month accused Mr Bloomberg and Mr Sheekey of promoting Ms Kennedy for their own political motives, claiming that, if appointed, she would be beholden to the mayor rather than the governor.

After she injected “you know” more than three dozen times in a single interview, one commentator said: “She’s turned out to be a no-pulse flat-liner with the vim, vigor, enthusiasm and passion of, um, you know, a wet noodle.”

If she gets the job it is another symptom of everything that is broken in the process.

You mean that education that you could not get because you were not smart enough to get accepted anywhere? As others have said, TheMercenary's comments - what he is told to believe by Rush Limbaugh - is constant. So we should talk about why his must let him fuck her. Does she also believe that wong is your brain - you dumbfuck? Sorry. Plagiarism. I used a word reserved only for merc. Amazing. He knows words with more than four letters.

This is the Cellar that best represents what TheMercenary really is.
