BLOGGING FOR HILLARY
Terrific picture of Hillary. She looks all wholesome and outdoorsy, and country - with freckles, yet! Hillary's so sexy. I may pass out! Surprisingly, those pantsuits don't reveal the lines of the garter belt.
She looks good for "a woman her age", you say? Have you checked out Liddy Dole in the last ten years? And I hate to say it, but Nancy P tries waaaaay too hard.
Argus Hamilton says: “Hillary Clinton dropped her idea to give five thousand dollars to every baby born in America. She didn't do the math. Her advisors had to show her that when you added up the interest, by the time they were twelve they would be Republicans.”
Hillary's the only grown-up running among the Dems - and she's more libertarian than any of the Repugs - including Ron Paul, who denies a woman's autonomy over her own body.
Jerry Jerome Bernard Orbach would be 73. The American singer-actor is best known for his starring role as Det. Lennie Briscoe in the Law & Order television series and for his musical theater roles. Jerry was the only child of Emily Olexy (a Polish American Roman Catholic) and the late Leon Orbach (a German Jew of Sephardic descent). He was reared as a Roman Catholic.
Orbach was an accomplished Broadway and off-Broadway actor. His first major role was that of El Gallo in the original cast of the decades-running hit The Fantasticks. He also starred in Carnival!, the musical version of the movie Lili. He also starred in a revival of Guys and Dolls (Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical), Promises, Promises (Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical), the original productions of Chicago (Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical) and 42nd Street, and a revival of The Cradle Will Rock.
Da Rev remembers Orbach and his first wife Marta from the summer of 1958 when they were part of a repertory company producing shows in Dayton. The producer-director, Doug Crawford, did a morning TV gabfest during the summer to promote the weekly productions. Jerry’s singing and dry humor made a lasting impression and I followed his career through the years. In an appearance on Celebrity Jeopardy several years ago, Jerry surprisingly beat his younger opponents owing chiefly to his vast knowledge of rock music history. Jerry Orbach was an eye donor; his eyes saved two people from blindness.
Adm. William J. Crowe Jr. (82) former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Reagan and Bush 41 administrations who signed an agreement with Soviet military leaders that helped to reduce tensions between the superpowers. Crowe retired from the military in 1989 and later was appointed ambassador to Britain by President Clinton.
Crowe surprised politicos when he endorsed Bill Clinton in the presidential election of 1992. He received four Defense Distinguished Service Medals and, following his retirement from the Navy, he was awarded a 2000 Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian honor. In 1998, the American Ataturk Association honored Crowe with the "Ataturk Peace and Democracy Award." His death was due to a heart condition.
Teresa Brewer (76) singer who topped the charts in the '50s with such hits as "'Til I Waltz Again with You." The elfin Brewer achieved teenage stardom as a spunky novelty act; its catchy song, "Music! Music! Music!," became a jukebox fixture, won a gold record, and was her signature song. She had scores of hits in the '50s and a burgeoning film career but pared down her public life to raise her four daughters. She reemerged 10 years later to perform with jazz greats Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, and Wynton Marsalis. She recorded close to 600 songs, 40 of which topped the charts, including "Dancin' with Someone," "Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall," "Ricochet," and "Let Me Go Lover." Her public recognition was heightened by many TV appearances with personalities like Ed Sullivan, Mel Tormé, Perry Como, Arthur Godfrey, and Tony Bennett and engagements at leading nightclubs. She died of supranuclear palsy, a rare degenerative brain disease, in New Rochelle, New York on October 17, 2007. Life In Legacy
Deborah Kerr (Kar)(86) British actress, the ladylike English rose whose red-haired, angular beauty and dignified femininity distinguished more than 50 films in a 40-year career in Britain and Hollywood. Kerr shared one of filmdom's most famous kisses with Burt Lancaster in From Here to Eternity (1953).
Born in Scotland, she began her career in regional British theaters and entertained the troops during World War II. Her first major screen role was in Major Barbara (1941) with Rex Harrison and Wendy Hiller. Kerr's other memorable roles included Anna Leonowens, the British governess who falls for the king of Siam (Yul Brynner) in The King & I (1956). But many film fans will remember her best for her clinch in the surf with Lancaster in the wartime drama From Here to Eternity—regularly included among the greatest screen kisses. Kerr, who suffered from Parkinson's disease, died in Suffolk, England on October 16, 2007. Life In Legacy In THE GYPSY MOTHS
Joey Bishop (Joseph Abraham Gottlieb) (89) had two '60s TV shows and made more than a dozen films.

He was 89. Wikipedia
"The twentieth century was marred by wars of unimaginable brutality, mass murder and genocide. History records that the Armenians were the first people of the last century to endure these cruelties. The Armenians were subjected to a genocidal campaign that defies comprehension and commands all decent people to remember and acknowledge the facts and lessons of an awful crime in a century of bloody crimes against humanity. If elected President, I would ensure that our nation properly recognizes the tragic suffering of the Armenian people." [George W. Bush, 2-19-2000]

Q. Which religion do you believe to be the most dangerous to humanity today?
A. “I don't know. What's the mildest, most inoffensive, least assertive religion you can think of?
That one.
Religion is an act of sedition against reason. Whatever religion is most seductive and likely to draw in victims to surrender their skepticism is the worst.” [Prof. PZ Myers]

VIDEO: ARLEN SPECTER DOES BLUE COMEDY STAND-UP!
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — Women in several countries have begun sending their panties to Myanmar embassies in a culturally insulting gesture of protest against the recent brutal crackdown there, a campaign supporter said Friday. The group, Lanna Action for Burma, says the country’s superstitious generals, especially junta leader Gen. Than Shwe, also believe that contact with women’s underwear saps them of power.
And there's this video from Cliff Schecter's blog:

HUNKS FOR THE LADIES
[If this luscious school girl were a hot dog bun - I'd wrap her around my sizzling bratwurst.]
A six-year-old boy told his father he wanted to marry the little girl across the street. The father, being modern and well-schooled in handling children, hid his smile behind his hand.
"That's a serious step," he said. "Have you thought it out completely?"
"Yes," his young son answered. "We can spend one week in my room and the next in hers. It's right across the street, so I can run home if I get scared of the dark."
"How about transportation?" the father asked.
"I have my wagon, and we both have our tricycles," the little boy answered. The boy had an answer to every question the father raised.
Finally, in exasperation, his dad asked, "What about babies? When you're married, you're liable to have babies, you know."
"We've thought about that, too," the little boy replied. "We're not going to have babies. Every time she lays an egg, I'm going to step on it!"
The executive was interviewing a young, anxious applicant for a position in his company. He wanted to find out something about her personality so he asked, "If you could have a conversation with someone, living or dead, who would it be?"

A Kentucky couple, both certified rednecks, had nine children. They went to the doctor to see about getting the husband "fixed." The doctor gladly started the required procedure and asked them what finally made them make the decision - why after nine children, would they choose to do this. The husband replied that they had read in a recent article that one out of every ten children being born in the United States was Mexican, and they didn't want to take a chance on having a Mexican baby because neither of them could speak Spanish.
They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.

The Living Will.
Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."
She got up, unplugged the TV and threw out my beer.
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands.
"Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"
