Early in this presidential race, Senator Barack Obama abandoned his promise to run a positive campaign by labelling Senator Hillary Clinton with the ultimate insult to a Democrat: he called her “Bush/Cheney Lite”.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
My apologies for the late-edition of the round-up, today. I’ve been feeling a little off, physically, so I decided to take it easy and slept right through the time I normally prepare and post. And, since I’m not feeling so hot, today, I’ve gotta keep the music to a light tempo: Color Me Badd – I Adore Mi Amor Be warned: Some of the links in today’s Ten Post Round-Up may make you a bit sick to your stomach,...
