James Carville Comments On Hillary Clinton's Manhood

Here is a must-see clip.
Here is the brief text:

James Carville says he views the joke he made at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast as "mild."

"If Hillary gave him [Obama] one of her balls, they'd both have two," Democratic strategist James Carville told the Christian Science Monitor at a breakfast on Thursday morning.

"If I offended anybody, I'm not sorry and I don't apologize," Carville told CNN.

Teen Catches Record 58-pound Striped Bass

Check out this clip of a 13-year-old angler taking a world record striper.
Here is the article:

NBC -- Juliana Merighi has been fishing since she was five-years-old.

Little did she know that by age 13 she would be breaking world records.

"I don't even think the fish was unhooked yet and I was saying to her, 'Wow, you just achieved what guys in their 70s and 80s have fished their whole lives for and never, never get to attain'," Juliana's father Tom Merighi said.

The bass Juliana caught is almost as big as she is.

The Vineland, New Jersey girl landed a 58-pound striped bass in the Delaware Bay off Cape May County a couple of weeks ago, and as a result she may have broken the junior female record of 47 pounds for a striped bass that was caught off the shore of North Wildwood, New Jersey in 2006.

"When it came up and I saw how big it was, I was like, amazed," Juliana said.

It could take months to officially confirm that this little angler has set a new world record, but the documentation from Juliana's catch already has been sent to the International Game Fish Association.

As for the fish's fate?

Juliana did not taste the fruits of her labor.

Nice catch!

Election 2010: Live Blogging Begins Tuesday at 7:00 PM CST

The Simpleton will be live-blogging the local, state, and national election returns beginning at 7:00 PM on Election Eve. Thanks for following.

"Is Obama Keynesian?" "Hell No, He Was Born In Hawaii!"

The following YouTube clip is from John Stewart's "Rally for Sanity." Sunday's rally took place on the National Mall in Washington DC.

Judging from the clip, Stewart's next rally should be named "Rally for Basic Economics Education."

While quite humorous, the clip is a harsh indictment of the intelligence of Stewart's audience. Enjoy:

Election 2010 Preview--Update #3

The consensus among professional political analysts is that the Dems are going to lose, and lose big in tomorrow's elections. Most, of course, afraid to get egg on their faces, are being very measured in their predictions of Republican gains. Not being a professional analyst, I have no fear of predicting a Republican gain of 70+ seats in the House and a 50/50 Senate when all of the votes are counted. There will be big Republican gains in the governor races as well.

It is bad year to be a Democrat. The Democratic pollster quoted in the below article sums the Democrat situation up best: “I’m resigned to the fact that it sucks.”

So sad for the Dems. There is going to be a donkey barbeque tomorrow.

Grim Dems Await Huge House Losses

The last TV ads have been cut. The final polls have been conducted. The end-of-campaign expenditures are being made.

Now, for Democratic consultants and campaign officials who have plotted and strategized for months to preserve the embattled House majority, there’s nothing left to do but sit and wait for the expected horrors of Election Day to unfold.

There is nearly uniform consensus among Democratic campaign professionals that the House is gone — the only question, it seems, is how many seats they will lose.

While few will say so on the record for fear of alienating party officials or depressing turnout, every one of nearly a dozen Democratic House consultants and political strategists surveyed expect a GOP majority to be elected Tuesday — the consensus was that Democrats would lose somewhere between 50 and 60 seats.

A senior party consultant who was on the low end with his predictions said the party would lose between 40 and 50 seats. On the high end, one Democratic consultant said losses could number around 70 seats.

All spoke to the grimness of the mood.

“It sucks,” said Dave Beattie, a Florida-based Democratic pollster who is working on a slate of competitive House races and who acknowledges that the lower congressional chamber is lost. “I’m resigned to the fact that it sucks.”
