Today is Super Tuesday and though the first ballot of the day has not been cast, going by the notoriously unreliable polls, it appears that it’s going to be a very close result across the board for both Hillary and Obama.  If the Democrats are split 50-50 then the logical solution is an Obama-Hillary or Hillary–Obama ticket.

I am sick of Obama worship, and now the new line from his supporters is that the Clintons have too much baggage and Obama doesn’t, he is clean.  Oh really?  Just wait until he is the nominee and the Republicans start backing up their garbage trucks of dirt into his campaign.  When the Republicans are done with him you may wish to vote for Jeffrey Dahmer instead.  (more…)

This book is more a personal story about one person and then one family. (more…)
