Random Musings

Alas, in the last two debates Hillary Clinton attempted to use sarcastic humor and we learned something. Senator Clinton is not ready to be a stand up comic specializing in sarcastic humor. Her attempts fell flat.

Lots of people will speculate why she appears to be falling well short of winning the nomination and losing to Barack Obama. She has two millstones around her neck and they happen to be the last two Presidents. People are weary of Bill Clinton and his musings and people are dog tired of George W. Bush and want a change, a major change. She doesn't seem to be the kind of change people are looking for.

President George W. Bush was critical of Barack Obama's foreign policy ideas, especially those that indicate talking to leaders of nations with whom we are not friendly. George W. Bush, a President who has one of the most pitiful foreign policy records of any American President is giving foreign policy advice? So, Iraq has gone well? Afghanistan has gone well? We have lost great international prestige under this guy and he's giving advice? George W. Bush giving foreign policy advice is like Bobby Petrino speaking about job stability.

The President George W. Bush library is going to be a Southern Methodist University. They are seeking a publisher for his autobiography. It's been boiled down and is between Marvel and DC.

I wonder if Roger Clemens had ever pondered about telling the truth. He might have spared himself some major grief, not to mention potential prison time.

President Bush said that we are not in a recession. I wonder where he lives.

In third world countries free t-shirts that read 19-0 have been distributed. Turns out these shirts have a New England Patriots logo on them and proved to be worthless. Makes me smile.

One gets the impression that the McCains and the Cunninghams won't be exchanging Christmas cards this year. I give John McCain credit for his prompt denunciation of Bill Cunningham and his willful desire not to enter the mud swamp of talk radio.

I'm not sure how I feel about Barack Obama. He does preach hope and that's wonderful. John McCain and Hillary Clinton seem to be advocating hopelessness. One might consider that hopelessness is not a good platform on which to run.

I attend the book signing and Destinations Bookstore. Tim Dorsey was the guest author and it was an excellent event. We're fortunate to have that store in our community.
