Ten trillion is an almost unimaginable number -- so colossal that the National Debt Clock in Times Square, for example, didn't even have room for that many digits. On Sept. 30, they had to squeeze the "1" and the dollar sign into the same box.

This Thanksgiving weekend, as I watched events unfold abroad, I was most grateful that the foolishness of election time is over.

Clinton's campaign chose to edit selectively and thus grossly distort my words on her 3 a.m. ad in a video it sent to reporters and posted on YouTube. Senator McCain's campaign also misrepresented and manipulated my statement.

Swingers are the moderate middle. They don't vote based on the tiny letter next to a candidate's name. They vote based on the policies that person puts forth.

One of the greatest benefits of an Obama presidency is hidden in plain sight: the relationship between Michelle and Barack. They provide a great role ...

It's not just that McCain can't relate to have nots, it's that he doesn't really want to. He wants to pull the levers that Phil Gramm and others tell him work best, and he lacks the motivation to question whether these levers actually work.

Obama ended up not just winning, but trouncing his opponent. And a month later, Hillary Clinton, his arch-nemesis, was named with the Secretary of State.

Mr. Claus, age unknown, offered no specifics about how he would use the government funds, asking only that the Congressmen simply "believe in" him.

Today we know there's no such person as Martin Eisenstadt. He was nothing but a hoax. The truth was established way back in June, thanks to good sleuthing by a blogger.

At a dinner party in Los Angeles not long after the 2000 election, John McCain admitted to me that he hadn't voted for George Bush.

Florida's bachelor Governor Charlie Crist is getting married, and to a woman, too. That's how badly he wants to be vice president. I hope John McCain is happy now.

I am sorry anyone thought I wanted a real person dead -- I did not. But John McCain, Sarah Palin and all the zealot conservatives meant the dangerous things they said about Obama. They still mean it, and they've never apologized for it.

Since our last post, we've been asked many times to comment on Sarah Palin's mannerisms. Her Body-Talk is not as blatant as her running mate, probably...

This summer, John McCain is traveling in style, wearing a pair of $520 black leather Ferragamo shoes on every recent campaign stop — from a news conference with the Dalai Lama to a supermarket visit in Bethlehem, PA.

If you'd like to know who Sarah Palin 'pals around with' please watch this:

and pass it on
She said "nucular" NINE TIMES. Not twice. She NEVER corrected herself.
I like Sarah Palin.
But why, why, why must she say nu-cu-lar??? Why??? And why does President Bush??? Even Homer Simpson once made a joke about it.
Saying the word correctly is very simple. All you do is say "new" and "clear" together. "New clear." Put them together and you've got the correct word.
We would have gotten in trouble in third grade if we had mispronounced a word like this. How can potential and existing world leaders get it wrong? Where are the 8,000 people who coach and prepare them?
