Later this morning HWWOW (He Who Walks on Water) aka Barack Hussein Obama will submit to what promises to be a nauseating slobberfest on ABC’s daily hen party, “The View.” The allegedly “conservative” Elisabeth Hasselbeck has expressed admiration for the crypto-socialist, would-be terrorist coddler Obama on more than one occasion. Of course, this airhead reserves the right to change her mind. Recall this exchange from less than a year ago on Fox’s “Hannity and Colmes”:
COLMES: Have you always been a conservative?
HASSELBECK: You know, I’ve always been — you know, I consider myself a contemplative conservative. And my parents were independent. I never knew who they voted for. They really birthed in us a spirit of freedom of thought and just evaluating individuals. And that’s what I think people really need to do in this election, maybe not so much look at the party color or animal.
COLMES: I think we too often do judge people. Are you liberal or conservative? And then we judge people based on what their political philosophy is and not judge them as human beings.
HASSELBECK: I don’t define myself as conservative personally. I seriously don’t. I would hope that people wouldn’t do that to any of us here at the panel. You know…
There’s a real hard intellect! Is this pinhead really walking around off the leash?
If you enjoyed that laughable exchange, you might want to check out what happened yesterday on this yak fest. You no doubt heard about Chelsea Clinton’s “none of your business” response to a question about whether the way her mom handled the Monica Lewinsky situation hurt Hillary’s credibility.
Here’s the video of Chelsea’s response and the harpies at “The View” talking about it.
Recall that after the disgusting news of her dad’s spending part of the work day braced against the wall in the Oval Office with his pants down around his ankles surfaced, Hillary rode to the rescue on the “Today” show, blaming the sordid episode on the “vast right wing conspiracy.” As a proud member of the VRWC, I’d like to take credit, but I’m afraid that it was all Bubba’s doing, with the enthusiastic cooperation of an intern only a couple of years older than his daughter. Now, in typical Clinton fashion, Chelsea tries to peddle the same “it was about sex, it’s private, it’s none of your business” garbage that her parents and their supporters have been mouthing for 10 years. What a chip off the old block! Sadly, this fairy tale, to borrow a phrase, hasn’t gotten any more plausible with age. It was our business what our employee, the president, was doing during the workday. We all had our consciousness raised by feminists in the ’80’s, and so we know he was also engaging in unacceptable sexual harrassment, or at least he would have been had he been a corporate CEO or an officer in the military. That aside, and to the point of the subject at hand, Hillary’s response is what we’re talking about, and sorry, Chelsea, nice try, but it IS relevant that your mom tried to sidestep this situation by blaming someone other than the perp (that would be your horn dog old man.)
Now, back to yesterday’s episode of “The View.” I warn you. This video may induce projectile vomiting.
Isn’t that beautiful? Chelsea and Elisabeth are BFF’s! She handled it “with wit?” I guess if you’re a half wit yourself, this is what passes for wit. Could this be the reason she doesn’t see how pathetic Chelsea’s answer to a perfectly legitimate question was? Or is she just stupid? Perhaps both. I think I’ll go with that.
So later today, when the man-god appears on this waste of bandwidth, don’t expect these harpies to ask the following questions:
Why has your story regarding the purchase of your mansion and the role of political fixer Tony Rezko changed so many times?
If you didn’t know that your pastor Jeremiah Wright had blamed America for 9/11 and said things like “God damn America,” why did you disinvite him from the ceremony when you announced you were running for president?
What do you think of your wife Michelle’s college thesis in which she pledged to use all her talents to benefit black people?
What did you mean, specifically, last week when you referred to your grandmother, who raised you, as a “typical white person?”

Over the weekend, I heard that Eliot Spitzer was being treated for sex addiction, and I couldn’t help but wonder whether he’s at that same place as the first guy to hold the title “the Love Gov,” the “gay American,” former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey, and if so, whether he’s also sobbing while clutching a Kermit the Frog doll.

While I had that image in my head, which I must admit was less disturbing than the one I couldn’t block out after hearing about Spitzer and his socks, the furor erupted over Hillary and her exaggerations regarding her dodging bullets while flying into Bosnia. Wait–Hillary is making up stories about herself, and saying that things happened that never did happen? And this is news because …? Let’s recall some of Hillarita’s other “memories” of things that never happened:
Being named after the late Sir Edmund Hillary, even though he didn’t become famous until several years after she was born
Trying to join the Marines (yeah right)
Turning a $1000 investment in cattle futures into $100,000 simply by reading the Wall Street Journal, and not because political fixers connected to Tyson Chicken wanted some leeway on those pesky from environmental regulations from Mrs. Clinton’s husband, the governor
Not knowing anything about the firing of the career employees in the White House travel office, even though the Whitewater Independent Counsel Robert Ray later concluded that she did and had lied about it, even though he didn’t have enough evidence to meet the high standard to indict her for perjury
Not knowing how 900 FBI files ended up in her White House study
I could go on, but you get the idea. So the fact that Hillary lied about what happened on this Bosnia trip isn’t news. What is news is the fact that the media are talking about it today. CBS has known for over 10 years, and a friend of mine who is from Bosnia asked me about it last week. So the story has been out there. Are Obama’s most zealous supporters, also known as “journalists” reviving this story to insure that the news about his America-hating pastor and his “typical white person” grandma from last week is quickly forgotten so that it won’t be mentioned when he returns from his tropical getaway? Are they suddenly upset by the “discovery” that the Clintons lie? By the way, will Barack Obama be flying home with his family or will he just walk?

Yesterday morning, while I was on the treadmill, I witnessed yet another example of a clueless media type confronted by the one thing that always takes them aback: unapologetic common sense. I laughed, and I told the Husband about it at dinner. I didn’t have a chance to mention it here because I had to post my comments about Barack Hussein Obama’s “My pastor said bad things I don’t agree with, the specific ones I disagree with I can’t say, and which I never heard, or I maybe did, but anyway, people his age are justifably angry, which is why O.J. got away with murder because Mark Furman said the ‘n’ word, just like my grandma, who was a racist because she said she was afraid of young black guys walking down the street, just like Jesse Jackson said he was, and the way to deal with that is to “understand” that anger, as in encourage and nurture it, so that we can heal for all time by electing me” speech.
Specifically, last night at dinner I told the Husband “You should have seen Vice President Cheney on Good Morning America today with Martha Radditz.” The occasion was the five year anniversary of the liberation of Iraq.

When Martha, who always looks like someone just told her her dog died, whined to the Vice President that “Two-thirds of Americans say it’s [the war in Iraq] not worth fighting, he replied “so?” and explained that “you can’t be blown off course by fluctuations in the public opinion polls.” Hey, Martha, what if someone had told Abe Lincoln that ⅔ of the country didn’t think the Civil War was worth fighting? What do you think he would have said? (I’m not even going to get into what Bill Clinton would say about being blown, off course or otherwise.Write your own joke, please.) When Dick Cheney said “So?” I don’t know about you, but I found myself wishing yet again that we had more public officials with both a functioning brain and a rigid spine. “So?” is precisely what these cheerleaders for America’s defeat, ignorant of history and childlike in their failure to recognize that grownups like Mr. Cheney make it possible for them to run around and bloviate about things they can’t begin to understand, such as national security, need to hear.
So then, later last night, for reasons that many of you justifiably believe serve as evidence of my inherent masochism, I decided to watch the “Hot Topics” segment of “The View.” Predictably, the harpies on this worthless expenditure of air time were appalled by Dick Cheney’s unabashed truth telling, Barbara Walters especially. Why doesn’t this lefty fossilized hag go to Havana and change Castro’s diapers or do something more useful than making idiotic remarks on television? The rest of the libs in the media are also in a lather today. God, don’t these people get sick of being damn predictable?
Interviews like yesterdays are why so many of us LOVE Vice President Cheney. Common sense may be on life support in many quarters, particularly in the MSM, but thanks to him, it’s not completely dead.

What did we learn from Barack Obama’s race speech yesterday? That the pinheads in the MSM (Mainstream Media) are still in the tank for this empty suit. As ridiculous as it was yesterday to hear MS-NBC screamer Chris Matthews say that this drivel was worthy of Abraham Lincoln (he really said that), it wasn’t surprising. Ditto the rapturous statements by Campbell Brown on CNN, Charles Gibson, or any of the other members of this herd of independent thinkers.

That’s the usual swooning and slobbering we’ve grown to expect any time Obama engages in speechifyin’. I had a different reaction to the speech, perhaps because I am not afflicted by white guilt and because as you all know, I have a very well calibrated BS detector, and it was really going off the charts when I listened to this speech.
The first thing I noticed was that Obama rezkoed, to coin a verb of my own, as in “to change your story about a controversial matter. Usually applied to politicians, who have a well-known propensity for doing same.”
“I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely – just as I’m sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed.”
Wait–last Friday when he was on his damage control tour, didn’t Barack Hussein Obama say he was unaware of these “controversial” remarks? Now the story has changed. Sort of like the many changing stories regarding the purchase of Obama’s mansion. A “fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy?? You mean as in the chickens came home to roost on 9/11, or to put it more plainly, 9/11 was our fault? That’s what your minister of 20 years, the guy who married you and malignant Michelle and baptized your kids, said. I’m glad that you condemn the statements that “have caused such controversy,” but I need a little clarification. Which of the rev’s “controversial remarks” do you disagree with, specifically? Did you or didn’t you know about Jeremiah’s most insane ravings (9/11 was our fault, God damn America, KKK-USA, and the U.S. Government deliberately infected black people with AIDs) or not prior to 5 days ago?
The second thing I noticed was that, once again, a liberal resorts to one of the stock answers in his play book: moral equivalency. Sure, Jeremiah Wright said racist bad things, said Obama, but so did my grandma. Yes, Mr. Hope didn’t hesitate to embarrass his 84 year-old grandmother, who is still living and who raised him from age 10 to age 18 in his shameless attempt to salvage his pathetic political career. If that doesn’t say a lot about the character of the man, I don’t know what does.
The third thing I noticed was that in his speech Obama claims that we need to understand Rev. Wright. He’s angry, and it’s justified because of Jim Crow and other evil things that democrats did to black people. You know, sort of like the “the crumbling schools that are stealing the future of black children and white children and Asian children and Hispanic children and Native American children.” Senator, if you’re concerned about good education, perhaps you could consider supporting school choice? Which political party is blocking that sensible idea?
As for justifying the hateful rage of his spiritual advisor, Obama said
“That anger is not always productive; indeed, all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity in our condition, and prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances it needs to bring about real change. But the anger is real; it is powerful; and to simply wish it away, to condemn it without understanding its roots, only serves to widen the chasm of misunderstanding that exists between the races.”
So let’s encourage “unity” by stoking the sense of victimology and entitlement, huh, Senator? That’s what you’ve been doing since you were a “community organizer” (aka a paid troublemaker) back in the day, so I guess I can understand why you are an apologist for this hideous, hateful bile, and why you think it’s a good thing to nurture this anger.
He ended with the obligatory story of some sad sack mascot, some girl named Ashley who had to eat mustard sandwiches. I’m not making this up. I’m sure it caused the Obama Kool-Aid drinkers to tear up, but even thinking about it now makes me want to hurl.
As I said, my BS detector doesn’t permit me to join the hallelulah chorus of hosannahs about Obama’s latest dazzling deception. Nor does it allow me to buy into the hope that electing this clown will mean the end to the endless rehashing of the many sins inflicted on people long dead by others long dead because of their respective races. If you think it will, you probably thought this speech was brilliant. Obama wants us to focus on race because that’s the great source of his power: white guilt. He does not want us to connect the dots between Jeremiah Wright’s 1960’s imperialist Amerika philosophy and his desire to go hat in hand to all the world’s dictators and afford murderous terrorists all the rights of American criminal defendants. That’s the real problem with the Wrong Rev. Wright. It’s also the reason a President Obama would be very dangerous.

I just read the text of Barack Obama’s race speech, and I can sum it up very simply. Everyone, black, white, and otherwise, is angry, everyone’s a racist, and the answer is socialism.
More later about that later.
Also, I am anticipating the delayed audio feed of this morning’s Supreme Court oral arguments about the D.C. Gun ban case, D.C. v. Heller, scheduled to begin in about 30 minutes.

Chris Matthews, call your doctor. You are going to need some of that Meripex medication for restless leg syndrome. Barack Obama is going to make another speech.
Last fall, Barack Obama appeared in a sketch in which he attended a Halloween party wearing a Barack Obama mask, which he removed to reveal the real Barack Obama. Or did he? Has he ever really told us who he is and what he believes? The current controversy regarding the racist, anti-American ravings of his spiritual advisor and mentor of twenty years, Dr. Jeremiah Wright, has lead many clear-thinking Americans, a group that obviously excludes Anderson Cooper and Diane Sawyer, to ask who is the real Barack Obama?
Having seen his damage control tour over the weekend, when he was without the benefit of his TelePrompTer, I couldn’t help but notice that his dazzling rhetorical gifts seem to have temporarily abandoned him. He lamely repeated the ridiculous excuse that he and Michelle “America is a mean country” Obama have been trying to sell since this fanatic’s insane sermons surfaced: you know how it is. It’s like your beloved, but doddering old uncle, who says crazy things. You don’t agree, and you know he’s a wackjob, but you don’t stop loving him. Obviously, the kid glove treatment that Sen. Obama has received ever since he was anointed by the media four years ago, has deluded him into believing that he can say anything, no matter how unbelievable, and people will not only buy it, but resume slobbering, swooning and otherwise treating him like the “rock star” he is. Senator and Mrs. Obama, the rest of us know that you don’t pick your relatives, but you do pick your preacher. Nice try, though. I might have expected something a bit more intelligent from a couple of Ivy Leaguers, but then there is that affirmative action thing, no?
His advisors must have noticed the dramatic drop in their man’s AQ (articulate quotient), too, and they’ve got just the remedy. What else? Make a speech, of course~ This empty suit’s entire political career and image is based on making speeches, most of which say very little, but which, as noted above, leave his supporters (otherwise known as “journalists”) with that Restless Leg Syndrome.
It is absurd and laughable for Barack Obama to attempt to say that he had absolutely no idea what Jeremiah Wright’s philosophy was all about, or to pretend that just because he wasn’t in the church on the day of particular sermons that are running on YouTube, it was news to him. It’s too bad David Duke didn’t think of that excuse. “Gee, a cross burning on September 12? I was out of town that day, so I didn’t know the philosophy of the Ku Klux Klan.” I thought this guy was one of the smartest people on earth. Now I find out he can’t even use the Internet. The racist philosophy of [tag]Trinity Church was all over their web site, touting the “Black Value System.”
Let me break this down. This is what we’ve been told Barack Obama is:
The Man Who Transcends Race
How often have we had to listen to the baloney that, unlike Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Barack Obama is not running as the “black” candidate, but rather than the man whose bright, shiny face reflects the sunlight in a more perfect way than anyone else’s, who inspires with his message of “hope” and “change?” Guilty white liberals fail to appreciate what is apparent to the rest of us: that Geraldine Ferraro was absolutely right. Obama is where he is because voting for him makes them feel so much better about what they perceive as America’s racist reality, and by doing so, they show that they unequivocably reject it. The Man Who Transcends Race owes much of his appeal to nothing but his race. The racist remarks by his preacher and his loud-mouth old lady, malignant Michelle “give us something” Robinson Obama, belie any suggestion that he transcends racial politics.
Further, just as a communist is a socialist who really means it, so is a terrorist coddler really a person who is a member of the America-is-always-wrong club. Jeremiah Wright simply stated what most liberals believe; that is, that America is an imperialistic, racist force for oppression in the world. Is there really so much inconsistency between the belief that 9/11 was “chickens coming home to roost” and the commitment by Barack Obama and other liberals to insuring that Islamic fanatics be granted the right of habeas corpus and whatever other protections the ACLU would demand for them?
The Man With Great Judgment Who Always Tells the Truth
His judgment was good enough to disinvite Rev. Wright from his announcement last year in Springfield. If he didn’t know about Wright’s insane statements, why did he do that? If he didn’t know what his church stood for after twenty years, how good can his judgment be? If he did know, as the disinvitation suggestions, dare I say that Sen. Obama is not telling the truth?
The Man Who Wants to “Turn the Page”
Barack Obama and his fans are fond of saying that we need to move past the debates of the 1960’s, and that He Who Walks on Water is just the guy to do it. And yet, this agent of “change” has as his spiritual adviser a guy who spews the hackneyed, hateful cliches of the 1960’s like the reincarnation of Eldridge Cleaver.
It is increasingly apparent that the carefully crafted image is at war with the reality that is Barack Obama. The fact that he thinks another silly speech is going to change that insults our intelligence. It should be fun to watch him try to change the subject and obfuscate reality yet again, though.
Stay tuned.

Yesterday on CNN’s “The Situation Room”–you know the show where Wolf Blitzer looks like Dr. Strangelove standing amid a room full of gigantic screens—Wolf interviewed the author of a book about Eliot Spitzer. Both she and Wolf expressed shock that a guy like Mr. Spitzer, one who was the tough new sheriff in town, pursuing corruption, hammering Wall Street over what they pay those evil, greedy executives, and just generally railing self-righteously about everyone and everything, would himself get involved with a prostitution ring. They weren’t the only ones.
These comments illustrate a truth that I often repeat: my work is never done. Why are these media pinheads so blind? How can they continue to buy into the laughable images they create for these phony liberal politicians? It was clear to most moderately intelligent observers that Eliot Spitzer was an arrogant, obnoxious, self-aggrandizing jerk, who was willing to destroy anyone, innocent or not, to satisfy his bottomless pit of ambition. He was the perfect representative of the crypto-commie liberal belief that the government should decide how much we should be paid and to helpfully step in and remedy any “inequality” or “unfairness” that they see. Is it any surprise that those who think they should be the masters of the rest of us don’t think they should have to follow any rules? Is it a surprise when they act on this belief?
If these allegations are true, I say couldn’t have “happened” (as in he did it himself) to a nicer guy.
And not a surprise.
Is it too late to get that $4500 back, Mr. S? Because it appears that you can screw yourself just fine.

For over a year–I date it to this article in the Chicago Sun-Times–I have been sick of Barack Obama’s lippy old lady. Why? Her idiotic remarks about her husband’s stinking and snoring, her condescending attitude, apparent unawareness that the rest of us know that she got into elite schools and high-paying jobs through racial preferences, all the while she talks about her husband’s chances of being shot in this racist country, a country that she’s never in her adult life been proud of, that is, until her husband’s success in politics. Talk about the audaciousness of dope.
Now Michelle Obama is quoted in the March 10, 2008 issue of the New Yorker as follows:
Obama begins with a broad assessment of life in America in 2008, and life is not good: we’re a divided country, we’re a country that is “just downright mean,” we are “guided by fear,” we’re a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. “We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day,” she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. “Folks are just jammed up, and it’s gotten worse over my lifetime. And, doggone it, I’m young. Forty-four!”
But you should be old enough to know better than to say something this stupid, Michelle. Or is it like your husband’s demagoguery in Ohio about NAFTA–you know, just BS that you spew for political reasons?
From these bleak generalities, Obama moves into specific complaints. Used to be, she will say, that you could count on a decent education in the neighborhood. But now there are all these charter schools and magnet schools that you have to “finagle” to get into. (Obama herself attended a magnet school, but never mind.) Health care is out of reach (“Let me tell you, don’t get sick in America”), pensions are disappearing, college is too expensive, and even if you can figure out a way to go to college you won’t be able to recoup the cost of the degree in many of the professions for which you needed it in the first place. “You’re looking at a young couple that’s just a few years out of debt,” Obama said. “See, because, we went to those good schools, and we didn’t have trust funds. I’m still waiting for Barack’s trust fund. Especially after I heard that Dick Cheney was s’posed to be a relative or something. Give us something here!”
This is unbelievable! I don’t know about you, but I could projectile vomit reading this drivel. “Give us something here!” I’d like to give you something, you ungrateful, obnoxious, unpatriotic, spoiled brat, and it’s not another $200,000 a year raise, or some similar benefit that you believe you are entitled to get.
And she also said:
The life that I’m talking about that most people are living has gotten progressively worse since I was a little girl. . . . So if you want to pretend like there was some point over the last couple of decades when your lives were easy, I want to meet you!”
To quote Woody Allen, what I wouldn’t give for a large sock full of horse manure.
I’ll say one thing for Miche, as her dad called her. She and her pompous, cliche mouthing husband have achieved what I previously thought was the impossible: making the Clintons look palatable. (well, almost) I know that some of you are cringing at that last, but let’s face it. Hillary Clinton is a bottomless pit of ambition, ruthless, dishonest, phony, and ethically-challenged. I’m under no illusions about her and her horndog husband. And she’d be a much better president than Barack Hussein Obama, if only because she is so ruthless and ready to go for the jugular. I see her more concerned about her legacy and appearing tough. I see Obama worrying about “our image in the world.” On Tuesday night, he echoed his insufferable wife’s comments about not being proud of our country. He’s the second coming of the King of the Useful Idiots, James Earl Carter, but as often with the relapse, it’s much worse this second time because it was one thing to be losing to Soviet Union. It’s another to facilitate another 9/11.
Michelle LeVaugh Robinson Obama is obviously still the girl who at Princeton dedicated herself to use all her talent and her (affirmative-action achieved) education to assist black people first because that’s essential in this hideous, racist, mean country. Just another reason that she needs to go back home and chill her heels in the house that Tony Rezko bought (OK, made it possible for them to buy).

Could it only have been 24 hours ago that Barack Hussein Obama and friends were suggesting that Hillary should just shrivel up and die? Remember Dick “Eddie Haskell” Durbin on Fox News Sunday just 2 days ago, doing that phony earnest “concern” thing that he does so well, shaking his head, implying it was time for her to get off the stage and make way for the rock star? Didn’t these guys ever see “Fatal Attraction?”

Remember that climatic scene when Glenn Close was under water in the bathtub for about 5 minutes before popping up to kill again? Geez, I thought at the time “she must have been one of the Weeki Wachi mermaids!”

Now, HRC, in similar fashion, is back. In her victory speech in Columbus, Ohio, she mentions that 3 a.m. phone call to the White House, which I’m not sure is the best image to conjure up–let’s face it, she probably got a few of those calls while she was living there, and they didn’t have anything to do with national security–and says that when it rings, that’s no time for “speeches and on the job training.” Indeed. The crowd started chanting “yes, we will!” obviously a take off on Obama’s “yes, we can!” chant. Speaking of which, do any of you know what in the hell that means? “Yes, we can” what? I guess that’s the problem, for Obama’s Seinfeld campaign and Mr. Not Ready for Prime Time in general.
Kudos to all of you conservatives in Texas who crossed over to vote for Mrs. Clinton and keep the heat on Barack “Eight Questions” Obama. I have it on good authority that he can’t take it, and that his skin is as thin as his resume. This should be fun to watch.

As I watch the returns from today’s “Super Tuesday II” primaries, I note that a federal judge in Ohio has ordered that 21 Cleveland precincts stay open an extra 90 minutes at the urging of the Obama campaign due to an alleged “lack of ballots.” Leaving aside the irony that the judge, Solomon Oliver, is a Clinton appointee, the interesting thing here is that once again Barack Obama is trying to win an election, not be succeeding on the merits, but by changing the rules in the middle of the game. I commend to your attention this fascinating article from Big Lizards, that points out that Barack Obama’s success is less about his tremendous rhetorical skills–as if that was ever a reason for anyone to vote for someone in the first place, and as if his speeches consisted of anything other than cliches and light, airy nothing–and more about his ability to eliminate any genuine opposition by keeping tough opponents off the ballot. That’s the Chicago way, and this “reformer,” a product of the Daley machine, is in no mood to learn any new tricks.

Speaking of Mr. Not Ready for Prime Time, I literally burst out laughing today when I heard him respond to reporters in Texas, interested in hearing more about his relationship with the guy that my friend, the incomparable John Kass, calls Obama’s “personal real estate fairy,” Tony Rezko by saying that he had answered “eight questions,” and then running away. Can’t take the heat, Barry? It turns out it’s not all worship and hosannahs. It’s enough to make his big-mouth wife, Michelle Obama, wish for the days when people were just talking about his middle name. The real “fear bomb” for your campaign, Michelle, is when the media starts insisting on his answering more than 8 questions.
