2. “What the fuck am I, a toxic person or something?”

3. “Log off, that “cookies” shit makes me nervous!”

4. “They’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them.”

The Guardian is reporting that Hillary Clinton “plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama.” Obviously take with a grain of salt until their is an official announcement.

Here are five reasons why Jan is the best choice:

1. Proven Progressive: By lifetime voting record she is the ninth most progressive member of Congress.

Most hypocritically Republicans have been working with ACORN for years. Earlier today I posted a picture of John McCain at an ACORN rally. (Here is another one on the left.) According to a Miami-Dade Community College press release,
