Long Memories Strike Again

According to reports from people closed to Ted Kennedy one of the things that pushed him over the edge into coming out against the Clintons was actually Hilary's comment about Martin Luther King and LBJ. Not for the obvious reasons that everyone else objected but because Ted took it as a devaluation of JFK's role in introducing the bill before his assisination. So undoubtably without meaning to, the Clinton's were taking a side in the feud between the Kennedy's and LBJ. Amazing.

No Comment

While I was growing up, my mom used to get MS. Magazine. It had a section called "No Comment" the simply reprinted the most amazing sexist documents or other things they found. It was the most interesting part of the magazine.

Here is something that I am just not going to comment on:

At one of the precinct caucus in Nevada they have break a tie in dividing up 5 delegates. So they drew cards. The Obama person drew the ten of Spades. He was beaten by the Clinton supporter who drew the Queen of Hearts.

Here's a real stretch

While eating lunch, they had on MSNBC and they were talking about the politics of the recession we appear to be heading into. One commentator said the Republican strategy could be to say this actually a continuation of the Clinton recession, only with a hiatus because of Bush's wonderful tax cuts.

Just amazing that they would even think of trying to blame this on Clinton after 8 years of Bush.

Staying away from Politics

I think I will stay away from political posts for a little while -- until I can't resist it. After writing a very perceptive obit for Hilary Clinton's Presidential career right before NH, I should probably give it a rest.
