Happy Birthday, RebL. Your daddy loves you.
It’s summertime, your momma’s rich and your daddy’s good looking.
Don’t let those 18 million shards of the glass ceiling shred your dreams.

OK, it’s 11:30 p.m. Thursday night and I don’t have an email from Obama. Here’s my last guess on his vice presidential nominee: Robert Rubin. Independent, world traveled, economics genius who presided over the last economic expansion this country had, pro-Israel Jew, off the map and has some “Wow!” and he was close to the Clintons until the very last of the primaries. He changes the Florida electoral map. Not likely a successor or a threat, but someone who would be cool under fire if he should become president during Obama’s term, a really smart guy who isn’t going to make the big mistake.

It’s my wild ass guess.

UPDATE: Shortly after midnight Friday night, AP is reporting that it’s Joe Biden

OFFICIAL RETURNS: By official count, my losses at poker Saturday were only $2.85. Pretty good bargain for a whole day and night of entertainment. Thanks, Soartstar!

Will someone give John McCain a map of Georgia?

First, Sen. McCain, my friend, please notice that Tbilisi is closer to Grosnyy, Chechnya, than Oklahoma City is to Dallas, TX. Remember how effective American protests were about Chechnya, Senator?

There’s a reason for that, my friend.

How is America or NATO going to get air superiority at that particular point on the globe, Senator? IT’S ON THE RUSSIAN BORDER!!!!

How are American ships going to get into the Black Sea and, more to the point, how are they going to get out? IT’S RUSSIA’S PRIVATE LAKE, SENATOR!!!!

Where are we going to get 150 tanks to face the 150 Russian tanks already in Gori, my friend, the good Senator from the great state of Arizona? Will we take them out of Iraq? Will we get the Italians and the Germans and the French to send theirs? They call this the Caucasus because of mountains there, Senator, so you might want to take into account that tanks have problems in mountains. Ask the Soviets about what happened to their tanks in Afghanistan, Senator.

I looked under the sofa cushions, Senator, and since we’re spending $12 billion A MONTH on the two wars we’re already fighting, I’m not sure there’s anything left in the cubbard. Smart bombs don’t come cheap these days.

Now, switch to decaf and lay off the Viagra until Cindy’s hand heals up, OK, my friend?

post script: Senator, The Charge of the Light Brigade was a neato keen childhood poem, but a military disaster.

I bought 2% milk instead of whole milk today.

Just keeping you updated.

Oh!, and I also had a small salad for lunch.

I didn’t walk in the rain, though.

These details are the Devil.
