So Harold Ickes, who heads the Political Action Committee for Senator Hillary Clinton, has made it public and official, that he endorses Howard Dean for the Democratic Party chairmanship position over all of the other candidates.
So where does Hillary Clinton really stand on this action?
Her most recent public statements indicate that she is trying to swerve to the center, i.e. her most recent statements regarding the downsides of abortion. And then there's Hillary and Bill attending the fundraising dinner for the National Ten Point Leadership Conference and the Dorchester-based Ella J. Baker House in Boston last week, promoting and urging the use of Faith Based Initiatives, invoking God at least a half a dozen times while speaking to the audience consisting of clergy and churchgoers, according to the Boston Globe.
Yet here comes Harold Ickes endorsing and throwing his support behind one of the most liberal members of the Democratic Party. We feel pretty assured that Ickes wouldn't take such an action without the approval of Bill and Hillary. Not much goes by this couple without their scrutiny.
Is this just another way for Hillary to make a stab for swerving to the Center but still (wink, wink, as the Monty Python players use to say) hold on to her base, the Left?
This is just another demonstration of the Left wanting to have it Both Ways!

Writer’s Block // The Gloom And Doom Democrats!
Condoleeza Rice had her 1st day as Secretary of State yesterday. History was made, as Dr. Rice became the 1st African American Woman to hold the office of Secretary of State of the United States. Thanks to C-Span, most of us were able to watch her rousing “Welcome” by the staff as she entered the State Department building yesterday. I could feel the "positive vibes" just watching the whole event.
Was this to be shown anywhere on the nightly news or by Matt Lauer on the Today show this morning? I don’t think so.
World History will be made on Sunday, January 30th in Iraq. This will be the first time in a little over a half of a century that Iraq will hold legitimate democratic elections. Yes, the terrorists (otherwise referred to as “Insurgents” by the mainstream media) are doing everything possible to discourage and scare the voters from casting their ballots on Sunday.
Yet listening to Senator Ted Kennedy yesterday, “we should move out,” "it’s a lost cause." "The violence continues," and "this is Bush’s quagmire." Gee, I’m so grateful for his support in all of this. WRONG!
If Ted Kennedy were around after World War II, many of my relatives would still be living under Nazi rule (or God know what kind of totalitarian dictatorship).
Oh and then there is Senator John Kerry! I guess no one has told him that the elections are over, the United States Presidential Election for 2005! Watching him on C-Span yesterday promoting his health care plan for children, I thought the campaign is still going on. How is that prior to the campaign last year, Senator Kerry was not known for authoring or introducting any legislation in Congress. All of a sudden, he's out there authoring and promoting bills left and right. All I see is Another Gloom and Doom guy!

Writer’s Block // A New Year! 1/19/05
It’s a brand New Year! Off to a Great Start!
On the home front, the Christmas and New Year Holidays were good. For myself, the Holidays allowed some time for reflection, which I know a lot of people do at this time of the year. I can truly say that I am grateful for what God has given me and my family and those around us.
On the global front, there is a tragedy out there, the Tsunami. I just heard on the radio that Indonesia has revised the death toll to 225,000 people. If anyone hasn’t donated yet, there still are organizations accepting. The most reliable I think is the Red Cross.
Nevertheless, the New Year has begun. And there is much work to be done.
Tomorrow is Inaugural Day in Washington D.C., a time to celebrate, at least for those of us who went out there and voted for the President.
Of course, you would never know it on Capitol Hill listening in on the Condoleeza Rice confirmation hearings on C-Span. Senators Kerry and Barbara Boxer really think that they represent the mainstream of America. They just don’t get it!
