Any place on this planet that an Iranian leader can be greeted as even a minor celebrity, our American leader should be able to score major celebrity status. It is exactly to the extent that this proposition gets skewed that we can tell that our nation is off track for the world leadership status that successful planetary development requires.

It is for this reason, and this reason alone, that I continue to give Sen. Obama the benefit of the doubt. His pronouncements are certainly not paragons of clarity, but they at least do leave some room for hope.

Stuart,
I’m soon to be leaving California myself. In addition to losing Boxer and DiFi, I’ll be losing Anna Eshoo as my rep. Anna Eshoo rocks.

I’m gobsmacked! I didn’t realize that MoDo ever had anything intelligent to say. As a past Californian, I know that Barbara Boxer does.

Half a trillion. Oh god. We could have gone back and forth to Mars a dozen times and opened a f*cking Starbucks there for that much money.

I’m also proud of her as my Senator. I think she’s great. And whether you always agree with Senator Diane the two make an unbeatable pair for California interests.

If circumstances force me to move out of CAL, as it appears may happen, these will be two office holders I miss greatly.

We’re spending $18 billion per month. I think you (or she) meant “half a trillion” instead of “half a billion.”

Barbara Boxer was great yesterday. And while MoDo may not agree with me here, I think Boxer’s been a consistent voice of reason… Especially on Iraq. She’s one of the reasons why I’m proud to be a California Democrat.
