Condi-Liar Rice Gets $2.5 mm Book Deal
The fact that she perjured herself in testimoney before Congress, you can bet that little incident will not be in the book. From Buzzflash 2001:"Condoleezza Rice Committed Perjury. It's No Longer Just Lying. She Was Under Oath. But Don't Expect the Republicans to Care or Prosecute. After All It's Not About Sex: It's Our Country's Security That is At Stake".
LONDON: Former US Secretary of State, Ms Condoleezza Rice, has reportedly signed a $2.5-million deal to write a trilogy that will chart her rise from a segregated neighbourhood in Alabama to the top ranks of the White House.
The 54-year-old Ms Rice's yet untitled first book will be a memoir of her years in the Bush administration, reported Telegraph.co.uk. “Ms Rice will combine candid narrative and acute analysis to tell the story of her time in the White House and as top di plomat of US and her role in protecting American security and shaping foreign policy during the extraordinary period from 2001-2009,” read a statement issued by the publishers, Crown, a division of Random House Inc.

Caturday with a Cat Poet
I'm only a cat,
and I stay in my place...
Up there on your chair,
on your bed or your face!
I'm only a cat,
and I don't finick much...
I'm happy with cream
and anchovies and such!
I'm only a cat,
and we'll get along fine...
As long as you know
I'm not yours...
but you're mine!

What a Poster
Earth is the insane asylum for the universe
The Bathtub Test
During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director “How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?”
"Well," said the director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient, and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No." said the director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"
At the Summit
Do the tops of those chairs remind you of brass knuckles?

I agree with whoever said it was nice not to see Dick Cheney up there seated behind the President. Good behind the scenes coverage by WaPo.~
Some members called it a new age of transparency, a bold new frontier in democracy. But to view the hodgepodge of text messages sent from the House floor during the speech, it seemed as if Obama were presiding over a support group for adults with attention-deficit disorder.
Then there was Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.), in whose name this text message was sent at about the time the president spoke of the need to pull the country together: "Aggie basketball game is about to start on espn2 for those of you that aren't going to bother watching pelosi smirk for the next hour." A few minutes later, another message came through: "Disregard that last Tweet from a staffer."
