Fleeing Thoughts: History Past and Present and Moles, too

-A recent Washington Post column presents President Bush as a man trying to sell himself to a disillusioned public as a leader who will be judged well by historians down the road, citing examples such as Harry Truman as presidents who were unpopular in their time but fared better as the years past. The article stated that Bush was a history major at Yale. What?!?!?!??! This guy was a history major?!? The man who shrugged off a question from Bob Woodward about how history will judge him, saying, "We don't know. We'll all be dead." This person who has an utter disregard for the basic concepts of democracy that this country was founded upon was a f#*$king history major? I really don't know what to say about that...

-The die is cast and Prince Barack of the Land of Lincoln has been anointed by the Party of Donkeys to be the next King of All the Land, the only obstacle remaining between the once and future King B and the White Palace is a pesky little thing called an Election. A lot of things can go wrong between now and November, so wrong that the drawbridge over the moat in front of the White Palace may be drawn up before the Good Prince crosses, leaving that Son of a Bush, the evil Warrior of the Arizona Desert to fly into the palace on wrinkled bat wings. Uhhmmm....what the heck was I talking about...oh, yeah. Obama has a lot of potential stones in his pathway, none bigger than his vice-presidential choice. Hillary, I think, may be out of the question for him for oh, so many reasons, but Obama needs the female Democrats to come out in big numbers for him. Smart money says McCain chooses a woman as his running mate in an attempt to get those votes. Obama can choose a woman other than Hillary, such as Arizona governor Janet Napolitano, which would make things delightfully dicey for McCain in his home state in the fall election. Some women will say if Obama is going to choose a woman, why not Hillary? Obama will need to offer Clinton something other that the vice-presidency to make her happy. What that is, I don't know.

-Please, for the love of God, I don't want to hear another word about the mole on R. Kelly's back. The mute button on my remote control is getting worn out.
