not.

Money talks.  And those millions of dollars said a lot and it wasn't "Love your neighbor as yourself.".

Obama's 27 year old, newly appointed chief speechwriter, Jon Favreau at a recent party; photographed beside a life-size cardboard cutout of SoS designate, Hillary Clinton, leering and groping her breast. Favreau is accompanied by a buddy, who's wearing an "OBAMA STAFF" T-shirt, while standing on the other side of the Hillary cutout. He's kissing her cheek, pulling at the top of her head and making like he's pouring beer down her throat.

Apparently, there are other pictures where Favreau and the boys are dancing and clowning around with the Hillary cutout. Does anybody doubt that we've not seen the worse of these pictures?

Here's an excerpt from the WaPo story:

Asked about the photos, Favreau...declined comment. A transition official said that Favreau had "reached out to Senator Clinton to offer an apology."Clinton senior adviser Philippe Reines cast the photos as evidence of increased bonhomie between the formerly rival camps. "Senator Clinton is pleased to learn of Jon's obvious interest in the State Department, and is currently reviewing his application," he said in an e-mail.

I doubt that Hillary has any choice but to be 'good-humored' about this degradation in effigy. However, Obama does have a choice and he should oust this Favreau hooligan ASAP.

Here's a hypothetical analogy: what if President-Elect Hillary Clinton was confronted with photos that documented similarly demeaning behavior toward an effigy of SoS designate Barack Obama. The offender would be gone in a New York minute.

Biased, liberal media puts elite teams atop AP poll

The out-of-touch media was at it again this week, stocking the top of the Associated Press college football rankings with elite teams - teams with very little understanding of the difficulties and troubles faced by the typical college football team in Middle America.

"Look at the teams up top - Alabama, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, USC - the media has been in the bag for them from the beginning," said Marty Heffner, host of an online sports talk show boasting thousands of listeners across the country. "On what grounds? Some fancy win-loss records? Ridiculous. It's just another case of the mainstream media going all ga-ga over people who are good at stuff."

Meanwhile, a hard-working team like Michigan gets ignored.  "The liberal media likes to laugh at a team like Michigan because they don't fit their definition of what great is," said Heffner. "But Michigan football goes to work every day just like a Florida or a Texas, but without all the fanfare. They're not celebrities. They're a team Joe Six-Pack can identify with."

But Democrat apologists...

The same argument was advanced, during the recent election, when some of the common people impertinently asked to see Barack Obama's birth certificate, as proof of his right to stand for the presidency.

So, after the founding fathers burned so much midnight oil over that document, it turns out to be inaccessible, unenforceable and irrelevant.

Congress increased pay for the President and executive officers before Bush took office and before Hillary Clinton was in the Senate. Although Congress could have passed subsequent increases since that time I'm not aware of any such act.
