Do pardon my absence. I’ve been entertaining by medical issues but fear not, for I am well! And although I’ll keep this entry brief, let me say that I have returned and am at full strength yet again. Which is more than I can say for Fidel Castro who is dying as I type, and hopefully dead by the time you, Child of the Future, have read this.

I’m not sure I understand the uproar over Hillary Clinton by Democrats of late. I don’t much care for her but the panicking because she’s “conniving to knock Obama off of his high horse” and because she’s attempting to win an election she’s running in amuse me and trouble me. If she starts running underground ads in South Carolina alleging that he not only has a nigger baby but is a nigger baby, then we’ve got a problem but until that day comes she’s just another politician positioning herself for victory.

And for those of you wondering where my Nigger example comes from, that’s what the Bushes did to John McCain in 2000 when they claimed that he’d adopted a “black baby” during the South Carolina primary. McCain was so outraged that he decided to adopt the campaign staff responsible for the smearing of his adopted daughter on his road to the White House in 2008.

Politics. Such a strange and petty profession.

Chuck Hagel has made some interesting comments lately about running for President as an independent with a Democrat on his ticket. It’d be interesting, to be sure, but it’d destroy the government from within if he got elected, which he wouldn’t — and that makes it a good idea as it would force the election to be fought everywhere by everyone. 1992 was one of the better elections in American history, and a Hagel run would help make the campaign even more worthy of note.
