planet hollywood in vegas, ok hotel? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 17, 09:00 2
- It's very nice; they just remodeled it about a year to 18 months ago. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 09:04
- No idea, but the shopping area is a fun place to go be a tourist - con_carne Nov 17, 09:04
I'm really surprised that Hillary actually seems to be interested in the Secretary of State position. Thought she'd want to stay in the Senate. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 17, 08:56 15
- there are several positives in it for her - for example, a mid-east peace treaty is one thing that eluded Bill. Both he and Dubya started too late. - crash davis Nov 17, 09:03
- Why? She's actually kind of a junior member of the Senate. - con_carne Nov 17, 09:02
- I remember during the primary hearing/reading reportage that said she felt stymied in the Senate and felt she could get more done in a branch - Diva Nov 17, 09:00
- [deleted]
- could the VP also be SoS? seems right up his alley. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 08:58
- Probably realizes she's likely not to have another shot at the Presidency, might as well reach as high as she can - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:57 8
  - sure she will. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:58 7

        How about this one....since 1952; there's only been 1 party to win 3 straight elections. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 09:03
    - fine then, would be SoS make her more qualified for the presidency? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 17, 08:59 3
      - Unqeustionably; especially if she only had the job 4-6 years. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 09:00
      - used to be a better stepping stone to the presidency than the VP slot... -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:59
      - Hard to see how it couldn't. She's been a Senator. Doing another job shouldn't make her less qualified. -- nm - TFox Nov 17, 08:59
- she wants international experience, right? -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:57

        same. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 09:01

  - "you mean there's pork in this ham?" -- nm - prayformojo Nov 17, 08:56
- That's ... interesting. You should phonepic it and post it for ST's review and comment. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 08:54
- You have to take a picture of that. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:53
SITWAP: Okay, this could get ugly quick: Somali pirates hijack Saudi supertanker. -- (link) - TaurusII Nov 17, 08:47 6
- that area has become lousy with pirates. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:48 5
  - it's a growth industry there. the only way a lot of people can see themselves having any income at all. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:49 4
    - oh, it's well beyond subsistence. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:49 3

        also, the country is run by warlords. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:51 1
