Tidbits today

I'm preparing for a day-before-inauguration show on Air America radio. I'll be filling in once again for Ron Kuby, this time Monday, January 19, so I hope you'll listen in. On Saturday, I'll be gracing the airwaves of South Florida on 850 WFTL, filling in for Stacy Ritter, who's heading to Washington for the inauguration, so I've got my plate pretty full right now.



Today, I bring you a few news tidbits and some short commentary.... and Barack Obama's official presidential portrait, which was unveiled this morning, along with the comment that it's the first presidential portrait taken with a digital camera. Oh, the times they are a changing....




It looks as if Hillary Clinton will sail through the confirmation process to be our next Secretary of State. David Vitter was the only member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to vote against her (go figure), but it was John Kerry, on his first day as Chair of the committee, who committed a faux pas... Watch this, courtesy of Rachel Maddow:

as I recall, during the hearing, the Lady Hawk Hillary said she will put dipolmacy first, except for Hamas . . . she won't talk to Hamas until Hamas meets the Israeli demands . . .
