This was funny.  I saw video of it on Fox News Channel, and Hillary was pretty good on this.

Clinton's April Fools joke

PHILADELPHIA - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton walked somberly into a press conference Tuesday and stood before microphones. Reporters tensed, sensing something big might be afoot.

"This has been a very hard fought race," she said. "We clearly need to do something so that our party and our people can make the right decision. So, I have a proposal."

The tension grew. Reporters shifted in their seats. Was she dropping out of the race? Offering to join rival Barack Obama as his running mate?

April Fools!

"Today, I am challenging Senator Obama to a bowl-off," Clinton said, provoking relieved laughs from the assembled scribes.

Considering that he bowled a 37 a few nights ago, my four year old nephew could beat Obama in a bowl-off . . .

"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

She doesn't have a sense of humor. 

She shouldn't try.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

She actually had a decent delivery on this.

He bowled a 37, damn my cat could beat him.  :-)
A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything.

"Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%."

Hillary is used to carrying balls, and the obamanation isn't.   :-)
