At Least We're Not Filling Up in Sierra Leone

Unlikely Allies Campaign for a Gas-Tax Holiday

One of the more interesting arguments on the American Presidential campaign trail is the proposal of a gas tax holiday, by asking Congress to suspend the federal excise tax on gasoline for the summer. The unlikely allies are Republican nominee John McCain and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama has already said that the move would be futile, saving Americans only an average of $28 this year.

So, what do you think?

How Much Hillary?

On reality shows, Clinton chooses "Dancing With The Stars"

As if this country wasn't anxious enough about the 2008 election, now we have TV producers drooling over this tidbit: Clinton chooses "DWTS" as her reality show pick to appear in. Aren't politics enough of a reality show, completle with finger-pointing, arguments and cameras galore?


"In my dreams I would be on 'America's Next Top Model' but in reality I would have to choose my limited talents and of them dancing is better than singing," Clinton said Monday during a taping of "The Tyra Banks Show." "You do not want me to sing."

Well, her singing of the "Star-Spanlged Banner" is forgivable, because come on, we all know that singing any patriotic song, or a hymn in church, is free game, and you can sing in your falsetto in a House of God or House of Baseball without repercussion. But then it gets creepier:


She even suggested a nationwide contest, "like a reality show," for a title for her husband, former President Clinton, should she win the nomination and be elected the nation's first female president. "Here are some of the things that have been suggested, like 'First Mate,"' Hillary Clinton said. "His Scottish friends say 'First Laddy,' but we need ideas. I'll just keep calling him Bill."

Is it too much Hillary this country could handle?
