And then there were three: Hillary, Barak, or John?


Is that anything like Abraham, Martin and John? Ummm...it sure doesn't look like it! What other trinity could we compare these three to? Certainly not the Holy one...The Three Musketeers? Nope-they fought other people-not each other!All for one and one for all-definately NOT these three! How about the Three Caballaros? This situation could be compared to a Disney movie. A very bad one. Tres Lobos perhaps? I see some similarities between these three and a pack of hungry wolves!  The Three Stooges? That's got potential...I'm getting weary of the constant hoop jumping and ritualized boot-licking that goes on in the political process during the primary and election year. This said with the election still many months away!
I love that our government allows us the privilege of free elections and citizen participation but there is a downside. It's the nasty sniping and snot-slinging rhetoric that gets thrown around. It's the minuscule details that get all blown way out of proportion. It's all the ridiculous knit-picky stuff that gets taken out of context by rival campaigns. It's all the he said/she said/he said stuff that gets on my last nerve! There are other countries who put all the candidates on the ballot and have everyone vote once. Whomever has the most votes wins. I know that's oversimplified but it sure does sound appealing at this point!Probably wouldn't work here, hanging chad and all.
Well, what do we know so far? We've got the expansive field of runners narrowed to three. Soon, we should be down to two. We are being told that at the end of the primary elections on Friday of this coming week that the DNC is going to pressure the super delegates to get on one side of the fence or the other so a decision can be made. We think we know which two...but...there's still a possibility of something unexpected happening. So, we wait- to see for sure what happens next in the national soap opera we have going on here. On the bright side, this could prove more entertaining than the summer season re-runs!

Another one that stings with truth but soothes with humor. I love your style. Poignant, eloquent and humorous – another great one. You know, I finally called Direct TV and paid the early termination fee to have it yanked out. I am really enjoying not hearing about the election and other "news". Who says ignorance isnt bliss? Keep on Bloggin!
