Our school had a bomb threat (we think a copycat of a nearby school). Left the building at 11:30 and they just let us back in (4:15 local time). It will be hard to get the students’ attention tomorrow! What a day! Our school had a bomb threat (we think a copycat of a nearby school).

We haven't seen each other, and she lives around the corner from me so we don't tend to see each other coming and going. We just see each other when one of us walks by the other's house (usually me walking by hers). Mumsee,

This makes biological children in the second generation an even 75% male. I went to help the family for four days and returned yesterday afternoon. The two-year-old is feeling better, and apparently hasn't thrown up any more.

When I last saw them together, I got the feeling that Matalin just rolls her eyes at Carville and that Carville thinks hey she's wrong, but I love her. Old age is going to be interesting for them! Now, I don't want to start anything, but I checked the news sites before I came here, and at Fox there was an article by John Lott Jr. -- I don't know who that is -- writing a review about Larry Elder's new book. Part of that article said: "Politicians constantly make righting the wrongs of discrimination the central core of their message to black voters. Elder says that Democrats need black people to be angry and constantly feel aggrieved to keep 90 percent of them voting for Democrats. Republicans are actually more in-sync with black views on issues from vouchers for schooling, crime, abortion, illegal immigration, but many blacks would never vote for Republicans because of their perception of rampant racism by Republicans." He also commented about Obama. As I said, I don't know who this fellow is, nor have I read Elder's book, but maybe our bloggers could find out more about this and set up a thread.

Politics are not everything. Heck, maybe they actually love each other - as in the archaic 'Til Death do us part'. But I still think that Matalin must have gotten awful mad enough at him at some time - she apparently naired his head while he was asleep. I agree with NJL. Politics are not everything.

Perhaps because they know the country will go on no matter which side wins, and they keep it all in perspective. Politics is but one aspect of life, and it's really not as important as some people think it is. For some reason Carville and Matalin do get along and have stayed married.
