  1. Smells like desperation.

    It's kind of hard to believe that she would actually say things like that. It also sucks that we're still talking about "the white vote" and "the black vote" as if it somehow counted differently. Each vote counts the same, unless they changed something and I missed it.

  2. @calinazaret who was it that used to get 3/5ths? was that women? or injuns?

    hmmm....

    Hillary is doing damage...a loose cannon.

    from Wikipedia:
    "
    The term originates in the Age of Sail, and wooden men-of-war. When a storm began, all cannons had to be securely fastened and lashed in place. A gun that broke free of its lashings would roll uncontrollably around the deck with the motion of the ship, causing havoc. A loose cannon, weighing thousands of pounds, would crush anything and anyone in its path, and possibly even break a hole in the hull, thus endangering the seaworthiness of the whole ship.

  3. @yoda thanks for that rather enlightening excerpt from wikipedia! I love hearing the origins of odd phrases, though I think that one could have pretty much been surmised. Not quite as obscure as "rule of thumb" which we all know.
