Took a random test (I wouldn’t recommend it, but I liked the badge) and I was declared a Libertarian. I am a registered independent voter, but tend to align with libertarian values, especially on social issues. I’ve taken other (better) quizzes that have given me similar results. If you are curious to know where you [...]
Governor Spitzer Joins Paltry Ranks
Posted by: BookGirl on: March 10, 2008
I had no clue who Governor Spitzer (“Client 9″) was until today, but apparently he was figuring to be a key political figure. He was known for taking a hard-edge on ethical wrong doings, but I guess he’s gotten caught up in his own little dilemma.

I think the following quote from former Senator Tom Daschle basically sums up “The Audacity of Clinton.”
