Hillary Rodham Jemima Clinton

  • "� Jemima ...": "Aunt Jemima" pancake mix has been a staple of American breakfast tables since 1889. For a brief history click HERE.

    Here is how the image of "Aunt Jemima" has changed over the years:

  • "� pander ...": Again, from Merriam-Webster's:
    someone who caters to and often exploits the weaknesses of others

  • "� pyrrhic victory ...": From Dictionary.com (only because I'm tired of quoting Webster's): A victory achieved at great or excessive cost; a ruinous victory.
    A Pyrrhic victory is so called after the Greek king Pyrrhus, who, after suffering heavy losses in defeating the Romans in 279 B.C., said to those sent to congratulate him, "Another such victory over the Romans and we are undone."

    "Undone." I like that. I'm going to start using it in a sentence every day.

    Mullfoto of the Day

    This shows a certain sense of self which appeals to me.

    When reporters ask how I would like to be identified, I often say, "Grand Caliph," which is always followed by a long silence. I settle for "Republican strategist."


    Catchy Caption of the Day

    Actual Caption:

    Singer Sting (L) sticks his tongue out at photographers as his wife Trudi Styler looks on at the 2006 Sundance film festival opening night premiere of Sony Pictures' 'Friends with Money'. The movie tells the story of three married women, their husbands and their lone single friend.

    Ok. But why is she making that stupid face?
