They were recruited by the LAPD to go undercover, keying on the adult drug lords who exploited teenagers.  They were cool, hip, and groovy, but not stupid because helping the cops helped to get their sentences reduced.  I am, of course, talking about Mike, the rebellious upper middle class white kid, Linc, the smoldering inner city Afro (and in this case I mean AFRO) American, and Julie, the daughter of a San Francisco hooker picked up for vagrancy.  They were; The Mod Squad; One Black, One White, One Blond. 

Honest, that really was the promo.  What, you might ask does that have to do with, like, remotely, anything?  Nothing really, except it reminds me of Barack Obama, John Edwards, and Hillary Clinton.  So every time I refer to Mike, Linc, and Julie, you know what I'm talking about. (profuse apologies to Peggy Lipton who in a hotness comparison is steam next to she, with all the warmth of liquid nitrogen, the Junior Senator from New York)

Speaking of Bill Clinton's wife*, I saw a new T-Shirt advertised today.  It had the standard red circle with a slash across her face and read RE-DEFEAT COMMUNISM!  Whoa, that's a bit of a stretch.  But then I decided to review a list of her quotes I've been accumulating and, as they say in the NFL, upon further review, the call stands.

Here's a sampling, you decide:

"When I'm President, privatization is off the table because it's not the answer to anything."

"We must stop thinking about the individual and start thinking about what's best for society."

"We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

"Fairness just doesn't happen. It requires the right government policies."

and my personal favorite...

"We can't afford to have that money go to the private sector.  That money has to go to the federal government because the federal government will spend it better than the private sector will spend it."

Yes, these are all actual quotes by the woman who wants to be President.  God help us.  If she gets the Dem nomination, I'll be getting me a new T-Shirt.  

There's another one my buddy Red pointed out, though not quite as subtle;

Life's a Bitch ... so don't elect one!

* I refer to her Hillaryness as Bill Clinton's wife only in sincere deference to her most remarkable achievement.
