What, did Ross call George's mom a bitch, or something?

There were several references to Perot hating Bush, but not touching on why exactly. When I read a

Interesting... What did Perot have against Bush? I am not familiar with that...

OPEC will announce a move to pricing oil in Euros (this won't actually be implemented until 2009-2010)

I'll just keep the same one that's been in place since 1987: not to eat at McDonalds. Fast food is OK, though it's something I only do around 3-5 times a year, but I just won't give any money to the golden arches in the process. It's quite fu

Still, the Senate seat point can be made of Hagel just as of McCain.
Hmm... well, the legs are easy enough (although leveling them would require a little work. If you're going for the pelvis as the base and the ribcage for the back,

Except that Hagel has already blown off his Senate seat, so that issue doesn't even arise for him.

I agree that some form of Hagel/Bloomberg is far more likely than McCain/Leiberman. Still, the Senate seat point can be made of Hagel just as of McCain. In fact, being in AZ, I would bet that McCain could more likely continue in the Senate as an independen

McCain-Lieberman can't happen because of money. They don't have any and almost certainly can't raise enough to be competitive. Bloomberg-Hagel can happen because Bloomberg can finance his campaign out of pocket without raising 50 cents, and spend as much a

McCain is old and, I think, more than a little bitter at this point. He whored himself out to the "Republican mainstream" (i.e. the old guard conservatives and the religious right) after he got spanked in South Carolina in 2000. He did everything he coul

McCain is not going to leave the Republican party. The only reason Lieberman left the Democrats is the primary challenge. McCain's senate seat is his for as long as he wants it.
Intriguing proposition, though, but I don't th
