Got a phone call from my mom this afternoon. She was trapped on Route 287 North this morning from, get this, 8 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. And, it appears the stretch of the highway — in Morris County — will remain closed through at least 8 p.m. tonight. If you normally take this route as part of your commute, you'll probably want to think again. Check the whole story from The Star-Ledger by clicking here.

CHICAGO – Here is the legendary documentarian Errol Morris on the infamous 2003 photographs taken at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, which are the subject of his new film entitled “Standard Operating Procedure”: There was another bad thing about the photographs. They led into a kind of weird dogmatism: ‘Oh, I know what is in that photograph. I understand what is in that photograph. [Sic] you. It means this or no it doesn’t it means that. Whatever.’ You can’t just do that. Investigation is therapy. You have to investigate. You have to make an effort to find out (not once and for all) but you have to – to the best of your abilities – ascertain what was going on.

I recently bought some shares of Philip Morris International (PM). It's the second largest seller of cigarettes in the world. Excluding the US, which is the domain of Altria (MO), PM controls 16% of the market worldwide. I'm sure you heard of the Marlboro brand.While I think the stock will be a long term winner, I'll start off with reasons not to buy:1. PM's biggest market is Western Europe, where it makes 50% of its sales and holds 40% market share. Cigarette volumes in this mature market, because of smoking bans, taxes, and other regulations, are declining and are expected to continue to decline in the long term.2. Tobacco lawsuits are on the rise internationally.3. Earnings performance may be volatile, as it will likely swing with crests and troughs of developing nation economies.4. Sel

It’s that she didn’t win by enough.  The race is over.The results are already clear. Obama will go to the Democratic Convention with a lead of between 100 and 200 elected delegates. The remaining question is: What will the superdelegates do then? But is that really a question? Will the leaders of the Democratic Party be complicit in its destruction? Will they really kindle a civil war by denying the nomination to the man who won the most elected delegates? No way. They well understand that to do so would be to throw away the party’s chances of victory and to stigmatize it among African-Americans and young people for the rest of their live

In a demonstration of inability and inflexibility reminiscent of her healthcare debacle of 1993-94, Mrs. Clinton seems destined to fulfill Voltaire’s description of the Bourbon kings of France: “They learn nothing. They forget nothing.”Even now, with her back against the wall, fighting for her political career, Hillary, presumably with Bill’s acquiescence, insists on making the same mistakes that landed her in the

That’s really what the Clinton campaign is doing in its post-Chesapeake primary strategy. Now Hillary defines Obama as the candidate who makes speeches, while she is the one who provides “answers” and “solutions.”Why is Hillary embracing this new line? It’s not that she has any great record of solutions or answers of which to boast, but rather that she wants to highlight Obama’s lack of a legislative record. Once again, she and her campaign geniuses are making the same mistake they made when they decided to use the experience as their defi

The seeming imminent defeat of Hillary Clinton must come as a bittersweet time for Dick Morris. His obvious hatred of the Clintons causes him to give a Hurrah! at every stumblle of her campaign. Yet he has turned his vocal barbs at Hillary and Bill into a rather lucrative income. Financially, the best thing that can happen for Dick Morris would be another Clinton administration. He could out Limbaugh Rush Limbaugh himself at the goings on at a new Clinton White House. The Clintons, while politically powerful, are not a subtle people. Think of them as a trailer park version of Godzilla. They wield fearsome political power but nevertheless are ultimately little better than hillbilly trailer trash.  You can still smell the trailer park on them and no amount of Febreeze will keep it from perm

But, is it?The Clintons had a negative net worth when they left the White House. They had lucrative book deals for their memoirs. Together, they pocketed an estimated $20 million in advances and royalties during the past seven years, before federal and New York state taxes. But, they’ve also spent a lot of it: they’ve purchased two homes valued at over $5 million, commissioned an addition of over $1 million to the D.C. mansion that Hillary shares with her mother, paid over $4 million in legal fees, and, in addition to taxes, presumably

Received Via EmailTHE HISPANIC FACTOR EMERGES AS KEY By DICK MORRIS Published on DickMorris.com on February 7, 2008. The Fox News exit polling in California’s Democratic primary underscores the key role of Hispanic voters in awarding the triumph to Hillary Clinton. As Texas looms as the next major contest on March 4th, the lessons learned in California will be very important. How odd is it that Obama tied among whites and carried blacks but lost California? The key is that she won Latinos by 2:1 and they constituted one third of the vote in the primary. In Texas, their role will be similar and their impact on the race might be the same if Obama cannot turn them around. Why the Latino support for Hillary?

I’ve always loved the work of the Pre- Raphaelites, and lately I’ve been particularly fascinated by the fabric and wallpaper designs of William Morris. I had planned to search out some fabric remnants and wall paper ends to start work on some collage pieces. But, as I looked at the snow coming down again today, I just couldn’t bring myself to dig the car out and slip and slide my way on any excursion that wasn’t completely necessary. So, instead I decided to paint a “William Morris”, well at least inspired by. It’s a sort of take on his “Orange Tree”. Over the next few weeks I hope to incorporate the Morris designs into my figurative pieces. I also finished another Madonna, this one is done on a rustic piece of wood, plenty of texture and finished off with gold leaf on

The press on the day before Super Tuesday has been the best that Obama could hope for. In a race dominated by perception, you could not buy more favorable publicity than the published reports of his closing the gap with Hillary.He will also benefit from the companion articles in most papers showing that McCain enjoys a comfortable lead over Romney. With Independents able to vote in either party primary in half of the Super Tuesday states, this information may induce many anti-Hillary voters to back Obama rather than McCain as the most likely way to beat her.

Dick Morris article link Obama Plays With Fire Betting on sweet reasonableness from Iran’s leaders has already impaled the Administrations of Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Could it be about to injure the aborning candidacy of Barack Obama? By endorsing diplomacy with Iran, the freshman Senator from Illinois assumes a political burden of proof. Evidence of treachery or deceit by the Iranian government will lend fuel to Hillary’s contention that he is in over his head and does not understand the real world of power politics. It is always easier to defend not taking a major step in diplomacy than to argue for it, particularly when you don’t control the State Department, the CIA, or any of the levers of power and information.Superficially, just as Nixon found the solution to Vietnam in his dialogue with China, Obama may hope to unearth the answer to Iraqi and Mid-Eastern instability by a conversation with Iran.

With each boasting consistent and formidable leads in most national polling, the leading candidate in each party must now prove his and her mettle by winning in a small state among a relative handful of voters.And Iowa can be a funny place. When a presidential campaign, funded and staffed on a national scale, crams itself into a tiny state, the resulting overkill makes the outcome hard to predict. Even candidates whose resources could not yet begin to cover the entire country - Huckabee for example - can effectively blanket Iowa.So far, the trends in Iowa are not good for either front-runner.

Received via email CHANCE OF INCREASED TAXES IF HILLARY CLINTON IS ELECTEDBy DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANNPublished on FoxNews.com on October 11, 2007.Hillary Clinton would raise taxes if she is elected president. Sharply. As her candidacy gains momentum and she closes in on the Democratic nomination, it would be well to review the record and underscore the tax increases she would be likely to enact.As always, Hillary speaks in code. So here’s the code book. She says that she will “…let President Bush's tax cuts for top earners expire." Most people assume that this pledge means that she will raise the top bracket (for those earning more than $200,000 a year) on income taxes from the 35 percent to which Bush cut it, to the 39.6 percent to which her husband raised it in 1993. But, in reality, it means a whole lot more.It also likely means increasing the tax on capital gains from the current 15 percent to at least 20 percent and probably to the 30 percent level backed by most l

So what Dick Morris is saying is 1) the Democrats don’t like Hillary but 2) they want anyone that is a change from the Republicans. Actually, it is not Republicans they want a change from, it is the Bush administration. And nobody understands that more than conservatives that feel as if we have been betrayed from both sides of the aisle. At least with the Democrats you know going in what sort of traitors and America haters they are. You do not expect to be stabbed in the back by the people you voted for. Which is what happened to us NON-neocons that voted for Bush. Hillary has sky high negatives and is as divisive as any candidate the Democrats have fielded in a couple of generations. Nevertheless, she is not Bush and that might just might make her electable. ~RJH Received via emailWHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE BACKING HILLARYBy DICK MORRISPublished on TheHill.com on October 10, 2007.The question looms over the Democratic primary: Why are rank-and-file Democrats so determined to nominate Hill

Received via email A PLAN TO TAKE DOWN HILLARYHER REAL STAND ON IRAQ AND HOW IT HELPS OBAMABy DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANNPublished in the New York Post on October 7, 2007.Sen. Barack Obama, groping for a position from which to differentiate his position on the war in Iraq from Hillary's, has turned to the past to find traction.“There is a choice that has emerged in this campaign, one that the American people need to understand," he said recently at DePaul University. “They should ask themselves: Who got the single most important foreign-policy decision since the end of the Cold War right, and who got it wrong?"This question is fine for a history test, but it lacks relevance to the current presidential campaign, where both Hillary and Obama and, for that matter, John Edwards, are saying similar things about the war in Iraq.But Obama has an opening for a very effective challenge to Hillary over the war if he uses the half-hour interview she gave The New York Times in her

(CSTV U-WIRE) MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin women’s hockey team will play its home opening series Friday and Saturday, as the Robert Morris Colonials head to Madison to face the 2-0-0 Badgers. Two records could be achieved this weekend, both relating to the 28-game unbeaten streak the Badgers currently hold. Friday, Wisconsin can tie the school record 29-game streak the men’s basketball team set from 1911-’13. With wins or ties in the two games against the Colonials, the Badgers will match more…

Lo sguardo di uno che non è una persona qualsiasi.Come in un film, la mattina dell' 11 giugno 1962, i poliziotti aprivano le celle trovando i manichini che giacevano nei rispettivi letti, senza traccia alcuna dei prigionieri. Nella cella di Morris, un grossa buca. Da lì se ne erano fuggiti per il condotto d' aria, sbucati sul tetto, scesi per la canna fumaria, scavalcata la recinzione. Presero il largo con una rudientale zattera dalla costa nord-est dell' isola.Come descrivere colui che programmò tutto questo in poche parole? Frank Lee Morris, colui che è evaso da Alcatraz. E da allora nessuno ha più avuto sue notizie.La sua carriera di criminale iniziava alla tenera età di 13 anni, e già a 18 veniva arrestato per detenzione di droga e furto di armi. Individuato dai dottori del penitenziario come un uomo di intelligenza superiore, con un quoziente intellettivo di 130 (quando un uomo nella norma rientra tra 90 e 100), Frank iniziò in un certo senso la sua scalata dei penitenz

For some reason the phenomenom of the Hillary Clinton Cackle has swept the blogosphere over the last couple of days. I did a repost of an article on the Clinton Cackle here and added links to some videos and suddenly my blogs traffic almost tripled overnight. That one article has had almost 600 page views since being posted. This is on par with the infamous Dean Scream. This is Dick Morris’ take on the roots of the Hillary Clinton Cackle. He points oit how Chris Wallace seems to consistently bring out the real Clintons in interviews. Remember Bill Clinton losing it when Wallace asked why he did not capture Osama bin Laden during his presidency? Well he has exposed the real Hillary as scripted and conniving in her canned cackle response to tough questions. As usual Dick Morris manages to not only skewer the Clintons but he explains the attitudes behind their actions. And that is even scarier than the Hillary Cackle. ~RJHReceived via emailHILLARY AND BILL'S TRUE COLORS UNFOLD ON FOX NE

From what I have read, the economic situation in Iran is going from bad to worse. People on the street are speaking against the ayatollahs, although not very loudly yet. Hitting the government of Iran in the pocket book should have a more powerful effect than all the saber rattling in the world. At best they will be seeing a 20% drop in oil revenues over the next year alone. Gov. Schwarzenegger is showing real resolve in pushing for a divestiture of any California investments in Iran. Other states following his lead is sure to give the mullahs ulcers and might even lead to increased dissent amongst the populace.  With the modern worlds force of empire seen more as an economic than military force it only makes sense to pressure Iran this way. The problem, as usual, is getting people to see what an immediate threat Iran is to them. With some people it takes having a gun put to their head before they realize there’s a problem. ~RJH Received via email ANSWERING A'JAD: DISINVEST, N.Y.!By

Dick Morris is like a bulldog with his teeth in Hillary Clinton's ass and he just refuses to let go. Every one of the questions he asks below is something I would love to see put before Hillary. But they never will be. Morris asks her why she did not vet Norman Hsu better...well, she knew he was dirty but as is very typical for Hillary, she thinks she can get away with it. And she will too. The media is not going to call her on this.Morris asks if she is overstating the problem of people being uninsured for medical. Well of course she is. She doesnt give a rats ass if people are insured or not. This is just a way for her to nationalize (to steal) approximately 15% of the national economy. Remember the example I always give about nationalized health care: The efficiency of the DMV and the compasion of the IRS. THATS what government health care would be like. Remember the big flap about how shitty the health care is for veterans? Why would it be any different for the rest of the people

More by Dick Morris on his favorite target Hillary Clinton. He does a good job not just of skewering her but really exposes her for the power hungry hypocrite that she is. She has shown she will do anything to get to the office of the President. Keep in mind this is a man that was part of the inner circle of the Clinton administration. He was there; he saw it first hand and surprisingly, lived to tell of it unlike Vince Foster to name just one. Few people have been more forthcoming than Dick Morris in exposing the perfidy and calculation of the Clintons. I expect we will see and hear much more from Morris and I will keep posting it here. ~RJH DickMorris.com article link  HILLARY’S HYPOCRISYPublished on TheHill.com on September 5, 2007.The winner of the Hypocrite of the Year award goes to Sen.

I have tried to keep myself from getting caught up in the Fred O’Mania that’s been going on since he started hinting that he was considering a run for the presidency. The American electorate, so desperate for a real conservative after eight years of a president who ran as a conservative yet governs as a liberal. To many Fred Thompson fits that bill. Dick Morris seems to think otherwise. I will be posting a couple of other pieces by Morris on Thompson. It is not meant as any sort of slap at Thompson of course. It is just being *ahemm* Fair and Balanced. ~RJH  Dick Morris article link FRED THOMPSON: FIRST LOBBYIST FOR PRESIDENTThere’s a new first in the 2008 presidential campaign.We’ve already seen the first woman candidate, Hillary Clinton and the first African American with widespread support and a serious chance at winning the presidency.But now there’s another groundbreaker: the first lobbyist candidate — Fred Thompson.Thompson was a lobbyist for 20 years before he was elected

Remember back in March when Ask Prawn Cufflinks was bombarded with queries about "Siwan Morris nude"? At the time, we couldn't understand why one of our favourite, yet little-known, Welsh actresses should be popping up in a search term that was usually reserved for snooker referee Michaela Tabb. Anyway, a helpful person pointed us in the direction of E4 and a new programme called Skins. We never did get around to watching the show but thanks to this website, we managed to download some short clips of the scenes that were driving everybody crazy.Nearly six months on, Skins is now being repeated on Channel Four. We still haven't watched it, but visitors have started dropping by in their hundreds in the hope of catching a glimpse of Siwy in her birthday suit. Well, we like to provide a service here at Prawn Cufflinks (and it was always in our mission statement that we would champion Welsh talent and provide pictures of lesser-known celebrities), so we've done the decent thing and capp

Dick Morris article link Newt Gingrich's time to jump into the Presidential race could come this fall Published on FoxNews.com on August 10, 2007.All along he has said that his game plan was to wait until the fall of 2007 and then jump into the presidential race. Now, it seems, his game plan may have made sense after all. Newt Gingrich never explained why he wanted to wait until after all the other candidates had jumped into the race to make his own decision, but we can infer that it was likely because he realized how much political and personal baggage he would carry into the race were he to run. To subject himself to the slings and arrows of his rivals would have been a daunting challenge six months ago. Newt had to wait for the other Great Right Hopes to rise and stall, if not actually fall, for him to get into the contest. He would have had trouble handling the barbs of health rivals. But with all his opponents for the designation to oppose Giuliani battered and bleeding — dead a
