"When I came here we had -- Republicans and Democrats worked together," Reid said. "But we can't dance if your partner is unwilling to get off the chair. It's like when I was in high school. Um, I wanted to dance but she wouldn't get up, okay?"

What is it with these people?
So we have picture Harry Reid being refused a dance by a discriminating young woman?

He needs to be honest and not be afraid to slam the Republicans right in the mid section.  But as I predicted, middle and upper middle class  Americans do not want to be the schmucks anymore and they don't want any more money coming out of their pockets until there is some big pain for the wealthy.  Health-care would cost them plenty and I hear there is no COLA increase for Social Security, which is a disgrace, especially considering what so many people put into it and they are even getting taxed on most of it.

I am looking forward to a great World Series and as "Mickey Mantle" Yankee fan, I can tell you all that this is a wonderful bunch of guys.  I hear the word hate getting thrown around too much as if people were talking about Limbaugh, Coulter, Cheney and Bush, who deserve the curses.  It is childish and makes people look stupid and shallow,  I hear so many complaints about the Yankee payroll but imagine how many fans would come to the new stadium had the management not gotten CC and Burnett and just went with Andy, Jobba, Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy as their starters.  The Yankees payroll is a smaller percentage of their total revenue than most teams.  Look what happens to teams that don't spend.  Look at football where many games are being blacked out on local TV because the stadiums are empty and they are empty because their teams stink.

It's like what do you do when running a supermarket and sales go down.  If you cut back on inventory and variety, you won't have enough to sell and people will go someplace else.  $212 million payroll for the Yankees, works and they are paying back, via the luxury tax, to those teams who don't spend enough.  

I am finally getting a new phone.  I was going to get the Iphone but it is not great for those of us who need to use Word and Excel files, which Apple doesn't seem to care about.  I decided to get the Verizon Storm2.  My wife and I are getting one each and all we have to pay is $179 for the two phones. The BOGO is a great deal but won't last forever.  When it goes away, and the $100 rebate goes away, those two phones could cost $600 (together).

Jonathan Fisk, a classmate of young Reid, appeared on Larry King Live last night but was unable to shed much light on the incident. He said he thought the dance refusal might have been issued by Nancy "Nance" Fleetley, but couldn't be sure. Fleetley, reached for comment, issued a firm denial through her attorney.

Today, however, the mystery woman who would not go along with Reid's dance request came forward. "I would have never talked about it," she said, "but Harry opened the barn door and now the cows are wandering out". Melonie Shandell Smith, now a resident of Coral Belles, Florida, broke her silence and spoke to reporters in a hastily called press conference.

She told of how young Harry walked up to her while she was seated along the perimeter of the dance-floor at the "Belle of The Ball" homecoming dance at Pinthernell High. "He told me that he wanted me to dance with him. I told him that I was not interested in him and to let me alone. He just stood there, fidgitting". Then he said that someday I would be sorry because he was going to be famous and walked away.

"You know," she admitted, "If I had known that Harry was going to be the King of the Senate - or whatever - I might have thought about it a little more. But you know, he was a strange boy who kept to himself and nobody liked or trusted him".

Foremost among them is: How will ObamaCare affect insurance premiums in the private health-care markets? Despite indignant Democratic denials, the near-certainty is that their plan will cause costs to rise across the board. The latest data on this score come from a series of state-level studies from the insurance company WellPoint Inc.

Perhaps I heard it wrong, though America is now in a so called war but we don't seem to have national domestic plan that involves all Americans.

Or do we finely realize the political culture of Bush and Companies right wing Wahhabist, is not to sell their souls, but to strangle Americans souls into listening to the Wahabbi freak show on CNN, FOX or MSNBC sending millions of Americans to unemployment  out of jobs and into military volunteers set up to fail.

Now the CIA was not telling the truth, not a big surprise for me. For eight years we pay into what is considered the most corrupt Afghanistan brother kazari. Now America needs a new surge, another not too much of another surprise, they need more money. One thing is for sure they love our money. But, the Bush mob money valve is turned off.  

Perhaps Obama should take a hard look at just how many indignant Afghanistani's are directly involved in the corruption. Take a look at the percent perhaps half are involved in insurgent operations and the politicals world wide plus the news media know it, plus oppressed the real problem for years.  

If half the country is corrupt illiterate, with no intention to progress to an alternate culture besides growing opium then we all should face and accept the historical sovereign Afghanistani fact, the approach to guns and drug do not work. My point is the military effort should be changed to a professional effort as much as possible. If there is to be a surge America and world should participate in a surge matching the military troops now over there. Plus its clear America does not have enough to speak or translate the national or secular language or include those that would have the ability to build professional skills.

In other news, the Celtics beat Lebron and co. last night!  Woot Woot!  I love sports.

Clinton's coalition is the sleeping giant of American politics. No other national politician, save Obama, has proven able to raise as much money. Much of her base was, like Obama, also loyal for deeper reasons than politics. This is doubly true for the Democratic women who were, and still are, personally invested in Clinton's almost-historic presidency. It's no coincidence that Clinton is on the cover of Parade magazine this week.
