Her campaign manger thought a dance would be an easy way to make more money. They figured ole "Shake and Bake" Janet is grooving most of the time anyway. I wonder if she'll faint again? She always faints when she wants attention. Ever notice that?

Don't we all wish HLL lived closer. But then the poor woman would be barefoot.

Good luck with your endeavor (pardon pun) today!

I want to put in a plug for Clark sandals. A good alternative is Keds leather sneakers.

Thank you, BWB. I really DO hate shoe shopping. I have a narrow foot and have a hard time shoe shopping. And let's face it, I'm not a shoe freak. I do live in my multiple prs of topsiders except at work. It puts me in a sailing state of mind.

I'm off to Woods Hole next week - well, mainly Boston but I get to go down to WH on Tues and looks like I'll have time to take the ferry over to Martha's Vineyard for lunch. If I see anyone famous (or bent) I'll let you guys know.

I'm envious - have a good time! My mother is convinced Mr. M and I would move to Boston if we could, although I don't know what I'd do with my gun if we did. ($&@# Marxachusetts!) Why don't you fly to Nantucket and check out the Old Crusty sightings from her corporate donor junket of a few days ago? Wonder if she left any tips for the little people.

You have such an exciting life! If you see the bent one yell out to him, "Eat worms and die!"

Thank you for the kind compliment in the above post, I love you all too!

HLL probably won't talk to me after I say this but, I hate shopping for shoes too. They NEVER have my size in the pair I want. Which is usually the only pair on display I like.

That reminds me, my sis-in-law used to buy ugly shoes because she felt sorry for them, that nobody else would buy them. LOL! Even the people who marry into my family are weird.

I promise you, if I see the bent one, I'll say something much stronger than that.

Here's a long, but very interesting article on the Clinton Liebrary: http://www.washtimes.com/national/20020719-817909.htm

The pig is including a burial area - like a big tomb. How precious is this liebrary gonna be, I ask you?

Tonight's Reno dance party a hot ticket

By Brian E. Crowley, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Friday, July 19, 2002

Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes and Ashanti bring the hip to the hip hop at Level -- one of South Beach's hottest clubs -- but it's Janet Reno who club owners say will pack the house tonight.

"Tickets are selling like hotcakes," said a nearly breathless Gerry Kelly, former fashion designer turned club owner and host of tonight's "Janet Reno's Dance Party."

More than 2,000 partygoers, including a few of Republican Gov. Jeb Bush's campaign staff, are expected to show up and watch Reno hit the dance floor.

"I came up with the idea about a month ago and contacted Reno's campaign," said Kelly, who hinted that Reno might not be the only celebrity in the room tonight. "I don't want to promise anything but I think it will be a very exciting night."

Already there is a "media frenzy," Kelly said. "We get a lot of local press and some national press but this is becoming one of the most highly covered events I've ever had."

Network TV, foreign reporters, even a Denver radio station are showing up for Reno's party. One big question is whether she will wear the blue dress made famous by Saturday Night Live actor Will Ferrell, who dressed like Reno for an ongoing skit called "Janet Reno's Dance Party." [well you know you're a lesbian when people wonder this sorta thing]

"We just have to wait and see what she does," Reno spokeswoman Nicole Harburger said. "We think the whole night is going to be a lot of fun and give Janet a chance to bring some young people into the political process."

Tickets cost $25 with the money going to Reno's campaign. Reno is being challenged for the Democratic nomination by Tampa attorney Bill McBride and state Sen. Daryl Jones of Miami.

Since it's such a hot ticket they're wishing they had charged more. hehehe

Now you've made us all jealous! Let me go there, and I'll send you to Threadgill's.

We love the Cape, MV, and Nantuckett - great places except for the politics. But you can take tours and see where MaryJo was murdered and other Kennedy crap.

That article on Janet's Hot dance party, sounds more like wishful thinking. Read this article:

Some Democrats fear Janet Reno will lead them to defeat in November

MIAMI - Janet Reno ( news - web sites) is the clear favorite among rank-and-file Democrats in her run for governor of Florida, but some party strategists fear she will only lead them to defeat in November.
Some Democrats worry that her high negative ratings and her weak fund-raising may foil their grand plan: ousting Republican Gov. Jeb Bush and getting revenge against his brother in the state where the 2000 race for the White House was decided.
Less than two months before the primary, Democrats face a dilemma: Should they choose Reno, who is the darling of South Florida's condos and Democratic clubs but is disliked in more conservative parts of the state? Or should they go with Bill McBride, a first-time candidate with war hero credentials but little name recognition?

Recent polls show McBride narrowing the gap but still trailing Reno by more than 20 points for the nomination. Still, Reno's unfavorable ratings top 40 percent in some polls, in part because of some of the decisions that marked her eight years as President Clinton ( news - web sites)'s attorney general — namely, the move to seize Elian Gonzalez and send him back to Cuba.(Read the rest on link)

****************************************

Sounds like the Rats must decide on Reno or McBride.

Huh - They don't have their primary until September 10. I guess someone wants all the candidates to spend everything they have - or someone else has right up to the last minute.

Here in Texas we get the blood-letting done in March so the candidates have plenty of time to savage each other until the fall.

I have GOT to get off this puter and do something constructive, quickly. ;-)

Clinton Library will extend from shore on stilts in a way intended to memorialize the "bridge to the 21st century" that Mr. Clinton evoked in his acceptance speech at his renomination in Chicago in 1996.

Oh PUULEEEEEEEZE!

The designer, whose credits include the U.S. Holocaust Memorial in Washington, sticks to the party line when asked how he plans to depict some of the administration's tackier moments.

"You just handle it," he replies, saying everything will be included in the 110-foot-long, two-story centerpiece exhibit displaying official schedules for each of Mr. Clinton's 2,923 days in the White House.

You just handle it? eeewwwwww! He meant ignore it. Wasn't that the LONGEST 2,923 days of your life?!

Certain to be included in the Clinton museum are statues of Socks, Chelsea Clinton's cat, as well as Buddy, the chocolate-colored pet Labrador killed by a car in January

OMG!! That would be the cat they abandoned?! And the dog they murdered?!

Mr. Clinton himself insists that there will be some of the embarrassing stuff. "Impeachment?" Mr. Clinton asked at a ceremonial groundbreaking six months before construction actually began. "Absolutely. What I did was a matter of record, but what I want is the whole record out."

But it will be in the bathroom behind the trash can.

Mr. Rutherford won support by estimating the library will draw at least 300,000 visitors a year to the city.

"The tourist estimates seem very high. I'm skeptical. It's a good thing and can benefit the city, but I think they're being pretty optimistic," Mr. Henry says. Indeed, some backers seem to imagine the library as something of a Disneyland.

Well now doesn't that just sum up liberals for ya?! :-)

" Mr. Travis says. "President Clinton represents eight years of American history plus eight years of pretty wild stories out of the White House."

Surely some entrepreneur will pick up on that and emulate the Washington sex-spots tour and organize a Clinton crawl.

Oh boy! What fun!!

No doubt this slug will be first in line. No wait, it'll be Larry Flynt because he'll have handicap access!

This is a far as I can get for now, son is chomping at the bit to get on the computer.... Thanks for the link E, much interesting stuff! ... back later. :-)

I wish I had my old steel-toed cowboy boots from 1976 with the bicentennial eagle and lightning bolts on the sides.
