Everything Old is New Again: Just when the dems desperately need to move into the 21st Century with new faces and ideas, up pops 'ol Gary Hart. That's not exactly what a party morally crippled by the Clintons and intellectually eviscerated by the likes of Tom Daschle and Terry McAullife needs. The former philanderer whose "new" idea seems to have been to go blonde. Latest pictures of Hart look as though he's run a beige rinse through his silver locks. Better than Strom's Tang colored tresses but not helpful.

Hillary's Wood-en Response: Hillary Clinton's press people rarely answer attacks as it would be more than a full time job but actor James Woods’s recent statement has them in full snit mode. Woods claims Hillary didn't go to any 9/11 funerals. She says she did. A list would have made her point more effectively. She says she spoke at a service for Father Mychal Judge but as we recall that was a memorial service not a funeral.

Pat The Dogs of War: The L.A. Times, where no one has yet left on a human shield mission, says the drumbeat of war has been muffled and that the Bushies are looking to "puncture the bubble" of anticipation. A few stories later we learn that B-1s are swarming the Gulf and that the Army's crack 94th Engineer Combat Battalion has loaded and is leaving. Perhaps puncturing this war bubble will take more than just one.............Sorry, this is a family web site. You fill in the blank.

Patty's Lott O' Problems: The American Prowler reports that the dem leadership on the Hill is ready to wring Patty Murray’s neck for kicking the scab of her healing Osama wound yesterday when she paused to talk about it to reporters in the hall. Fox News, that beacon of truth in a land of lies, was waiting with a video of her exact words on the subject of why people love and revere Osama bin Laden. (Roads, schools, free haunch of camel for the poor, the right of women to smother in rayon, etc. etc.) Fox ran the video a half a dozen times yesterday. A thousand times less than her opponents will in the next election.

Thanks For The Memory: Has anyone so far commented on the quaintness of the North Koreans remembering Bill Richardson's phone number and asking for a sit down to work out our big bomb problems? Could it be their subscription to the Times lapsed before Clinton left town? Have they not paid their cable bill? Maybe they just remembered that they liked the little fellow in the crumpled blazer and want a weekend in Santa Fe.

LDotter Note: The enormous success of our Lucianne.com T's and sweatshirts (Christmas didn't hurt) has emboldened our troops at GOPGuys to design probably the coolest caps we've seen. The white one has the flag under the brim - a touch we particularly liked. The other one is Reagan blue and a stunner. Click on the big fat shirt at the top of the site and have a look. You will also see that our new mugs are on the way as well.
