"President-elect Obama is meeting every day with his transition team, or in
Beltway lingo, his trannies. They are helping him pick who will be in his new
government. Over 7,000 presidential appointments are up for grabs. The Obama
administration is making history once again by being the only place in America
that is currently hiring." --Stephen Colbert

Movie Review By Valerie Plame, Sort Of
Kate Beckinsale delivers a searing performance in "Nothing But the Truth" as a journalist who spends a year in jail rather than reveal a source. But she shouldn't count on a rave from former CIA operative Valerie Plame....Plame has not seen the movie yet, but she tells us: "I'm not a fan of Judith Miller. For her to be the heroine of such a movie is really quite a stretch."
To refer to George W. Bush as a lame duck doesn’t quite cut it. Quadriplegic platypus is more like it. – Will Durst

Make Up Your Mind Already!
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has reservations about accepting an appointment as secretary of state in the Obama administration, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton who is familiar with her thinking said on Tuesday.
"Now this is a tough process because when, you know, you are going to appoint to you a Cabinet-level position, there is a whole process. It is a vetting process. And a questionnaire, and there was some trouble, because they filled out the questionnaire, running the check on Hillary. Listen this. Turns out, she was married to a guy who was once impeached." --David Letterman

Coseno, right, and Coseno's husband Joe Coseno, pose with the triplets carried
and delivered by Dalenburg as a surrogate in this photo taken Tuesday, Oct. 11,
2008 in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. Dalenberg decided that if she could help her
daughter have a baby she would do it. But at 56, Dalenberg was an unlikely
person to serve as a surrogate. Now, a month after three baby girls were born,
Dalenberg is recovering from a Caesarean section and proud to call the triplets
her granddaughters.
