1. Brinkley's at Rice now?
Didn't know that. He had gone from UNO to Tulane a few years ago.

11. I almost took one of his classes at UNO
Before he was a celeb. He was Stephen Ambrose's understudy in the histoty department at that time.

7. She's my senator and she stinks.
Unless of course you think flag-burning and violent video games are the major issues of our time. And how about that IWR vote?

16. Ditto. She's done nothing for us in Lower Manhattan
Though she takes credit for all kind of bullshit.

21. She said that she voted for the IWR in our name, because of 9-11.

4. He also said that someone who loves Hillary should intervene...
And, since she floated this idea back in March, her dark state of mind has been building.

14. Yep. I have no doubt that this "anything can happen, look at RFK" strategy is Bill's baby.
I just have that feeling about it.

I think that somebody made some promises to certain *donors* he realizes he's not going to be able to keep.
