>> The best thing that could have possibly happened for the Dems, in regards to the 2016 Election Follies, is the "candidacy" of the Senator from Calgary himself, Teddy Boy Cruz. He seems to have spent the last couple of weeks rallying the fundie elements around himself, as attested by the oh-so-enthusiastic response he received at Liberty University. (BTW, that was a captive audience he spoke to in those there parts - those who chose not to listen to the emanations from his facial orifice faced, uh, consequences.)
Let's get the obvious out of the way. Teddy Boy is not, and will not, be occupying the Oval Office in this or any future lifetime. BUT, if he can get substantial fundie support, he could play kingmaker. His reward? Perhaps a cabinet post or some other plum, in the event that the Repubs pull out the election from their asses next November. That's IF he's smart enough to keep his foot out of it - which I highly doubt. It's just a matter of time...
>> I find it interesting that, JUST NOW, the banks seem to be raising high dudgeon regarding their po' wittow feewings being hurt by that awfow meanie, Senator Elizabeth Warren. Trust me, they've been raising stinks about Warren ever since she took office, and it seems that ONLY NOW, during the election season, are we getting any big press about it. But in the words of Midnight Oil, "When The Generals Talk, You Better Listen To Him" - and by Generals, they weren't talking about only the military. (Pull up the song on Youtube, or better yet, mosey on over to iTunes and fork over the $1.29 or $.99 for the song. You won't regret it, you stay legal, and good karma awaits you. Plus, Peter Garrett is one of the good guys. Google him.)
Stay Strong, Senator. You know there's a substantial number of us who support you and have your back - even if the Democratic Party doesn't.
>> My posts have become more sporadic lately for two very good reasons:
1. In five weeks, I will be walking on a stage in San Francisco to accept my long-awaited Bachelor's Degree;
2. Over the last six weeks, I have been on a quest to halt and reverse the expansion of my midsection. Trips to the health club, more stairs, dietary changes - I've been putting in the effort and beginning to see some results.
Once I finally have degree in hand, I'll be posting to this humble blog a lot more. And, perhaps, begin to promote it.
The clowns will return. Time for the acrobats...
