That was the gist of Senator Clinton's remarks at a campaign rally yesterday:

"I know some of my opponent's supporters and my opponent are complaining about the hard questions," Clinton, a former first lady, told a rally.

"Well, having been in the White House for eight years and seeing what happens in terms of the pressures and the stresses on a president, that was nothing," she said.

Referencing a famous quote from folksy former Democratic President Harry Truman, Clinton said: "I'm with Harry Truman on this. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Last week I wrote about John Scalzi's pledge to go to the Creation Museum if his blog readers raised at least $250.  The proceeds of the fundraiser would be donated to the Americans for the Separation of Church and State.

Not only did readers respond, they raised over $5000!

Award winning SF writer John Scalzi, who lives within driving distance of the Creation Museum, has accepted a challenge to visit the 'museum' and write a snark-filled review of the place.

I was a bit surprised when I received word from the Chicago Tribune that my letter would be included in Sunday's paper.  This wasn't the first time I had called out one of their columnists for gross distortions or outright lies presented as fact.  But this is the first time one of my responses actually made the cut.

In a scathing attack entitled GOP Must Go, The American Conservative (a magazine founded by Pat Buchanan) calls for voters to repudiate George Bush by voting for Democrats.
