P.S.--Nancy vs. Hillary: Remember when the temporary success of Geena Davis' Commander in Chief was said to pave the way for a Hillary Clinton presidency by getting voters accustomed to a competent female chief executive? Isn't it possible that--if Pelosi assumes the speakership and flops as badly as some Dems fear--she'll perform an opposite function, namely souring the voters on the idea of a female executive? Two-years woth of saccharine robotic liberal pollster phrases about "America's children" can do that. ... P.P.S.: The other possibility, of course, is that two years of mommish-yet-robotic rhetoric from Pelosi will make Hillary look muscular-yet-relaxed by comparison. .. [Thanks to alert kausfiles reader S.A.K.] 2:49 P.M. link Tom Bevan of RCP writes: It looks like the dastardly Karl Rove has done it once again.

Hominy & Hash
SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- Now, what does that title have to do with what I planned? I usually write about something or someone Irish this time of year, not the bywords of the CDC (Center of Disease Control). As it turns out, my original plan is right on target: Mary Mallon, an Irish immigrant from County Tyrone, arrived here in 1883 and by 1907, hers was a household name. Perhaps not known as Mary Mallon, but as Typhoid Mary, and the poor unfortunate girl made history. She was the first healthy carrier of typhoid fever in the United States.
'After she was released and changed her name to Mary Brown, she got a job at Sloane Maternity Hospital. Three months and two deaths from typhoid later, typhoid's spread to 25 doctors and staff members was traced to Mary Mallon... .'
Mary was only 15 when she arrived at Ellis Island and settled in with others like herself.
Hillary Clinton: my teary moment won me New Hampshire
And then she just went out and essentially gave her heart to the people of New Hampshire. She didn't ask me anything, talk about anything, say, 'Here's why I'm doing it', and they came back, they turned." In a Fox News interview, Mr Obama put a brave face on his defeat, pointing that he had been trailing by as much as 20 points in New Hampshire as recently as two months ago and he remained in a strong position. "This is a high-stakes election and I don't think voters are going to let any candidate take anything for granted," he said. "They want to lift the hood and kick the tyres." Tabloids in New York, where Mrs Clinton serves as senator, plastered shots of her laughing face on the front page with headlines, 'Who’s Crying Now?' in the New York Daily News and, 'Back From the Dead' in the New York Post.
Stop Chasing High-Tech Cheaters
Opening up The New York Times last week, I stumbled across an article that outraged me. "Colleges Chase as Cheats Shift to Higher Tech" detailed the struggle of some academics against new, high-tech forms of "cheating" that are based in Internet use, iPods, cellphones, and PocketPCs. The tone of the article was one of dismay at the collapse of morality in education. As I watched the article climb the "most e-mailed list" on the Times Web site through the day, my outrage increased. .
