   12/12. 97th percentile.

   On a news related note, if this doesn’t sink (Sir Edmund) Hillary Clinton, there is a large segment of the Democratic base who have lost their minds.

   http://www.northstarwriters.com/dc163.htm

   From the story:

   Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

   Why?

   “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

   How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.

   I mean this is huge. Democrats who no longer support her need to organize some mass interventions with their fellows (and fellettes) who still think she has any chance of winning the general.

   Although I must say it is nice so many Democrats are finally seeing the light where the Clintons are concerned. After reading this story, the nickname ‘Hitlery’ (which I was excoriated for using by my Democratic wife 10 years ago) has been justified!

   Hah!

   I’m worth $949/hr in bed.

   It appears a young jet setting swinging kinky chocolate eating high school dropout midget smoker with a small tattoo and 7″ pierced pecker does much better than me at $1,102/hr

   You correctly answered 10 out of the 12 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 83% of the general public…so i’m obviously retarded!!!

   Guess i should pay less attention to the crosswords and the Patriiots getting ready to win their next Super Bowl…should’ve went undefeated IF Brady had no-huddled the entire second half:O

    Pete,

    From Wikipedia:

    SDI may have been first dubbed “Star Wars” by opponent Dr. Carol Rosin, a consultant and former spokesperson for Wernher von Braun.[citation needed] However, Missile Defense Agency historians attribute the term to a Washington Post article published March 24, 1983, the day after the Star Wars speech, which quoted Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy describing the proposal as “reckless Star Wars schemes.”[31] Some critics used that term derisively, implying it is an impractical science fiction fantasy, but supporters have adopted the usage as well on the grounds that yesterday’s science fiction is often tomorrow’s engineering. In comments to the media March 7, 1986, Acting Deputy Director of SDIO, Dr. Gerold Yonas, described the name “Star Wars” as an important tool for Soviet disinformation and asserted that the nickname gave an entirely wrong impression of SDI.[32]

    Where’s a thread for today?
