Crocodile Tears
After she lost the Iowa Caucuses, Hillary Clinton slouched into New Hampshire and cried - right there in front of America and everyone, she let a few choice tears slip when explaining how she does everything for her
"love for America."While the rest of the country was moaning, "Puleeeze....", New Hampshirites took the bait and gave her a victory.
Well, it seems Hillary is taking her New Hampshire strategy to heart. This photo was posted on the internet one day after she got her butt kicked in South Carolina.
Hillary is wasting no time playing the Tear Card. She's hoping that this act can carry her through Super Tuesday with enough delegates to put Obama back on his heels.
It's an act that has worn thin, though, mostly because we don't believe she is in the least sincere. If she thinks her veil of false tears can sway the rest of America, she's mistaken.
"Live Free Or Cry" indeed.

Compact Fluorescent Warning
Back on March 22, 2007 I posted
an essay about those "safe" compact fluorescent bulbs that everyone - including the US Federal Government - is shoving down our throats as a way of offsetting man's "disastrous impact on the environment." In that essay I showed that these new bulbs really aren't any more energy efficient, nor are they safer, than incandescent bulbs. Quite the opposite is true.
Now, confirmation from the British Government in the form of a warning regarding the breakage of compact fluorescent bulbs:
This is not an internet hoax. It's from an article entitled
An energy saving bulb has gone - evacuate the room now!, in the 6th January 2008 issue of the UK's
Daily Mail.
The Department for Environment warned shards of glass from broken bulbs should not be vacuumed up but instead swept away by someone wearing rubber gloves to protect them from the bulb's mercury content.
In addition, it said care should be taken not to inhale any dust and the broken pieces should be put in a sealed plastic bag for disposal at a council dump – not a normal household bin.
Who's at risk? Everyone, it seems.
Energy-saving light bulbs are so dangerous that everyone must leave the room for at least 15 minutes if one falls to the floor and breaks, a Government department warned yesterday.
The startling alert came as health experts also warned that toxic mercury inside the bulbs can aggravate a range of problems including migraines and dizziness.
And a leading dermatologist said tens of thousands of people with skin complaints will find it hard to tolerate being near the bulbs as they cause conditions such as eczema to flare up.
And if the government warning wasn't frightening enough, the fact that, "None of this advice, however, is printed on the packaging the new-style bulbs are sold in," should be even greater cause for alarm!
Compact Fluorescents. Use at your own risk.
Or, if the US government has it's way, use despite your own risk.
