the game is still afoot. or under foot. or something.

A lot of writers and pundits seem to think that today is the day for the Democratic Party, or, conversely, that today is the day that the party's over for Hillary Clinton.

Not me.

She, (or at least a spokesperson for her campaign), has said for the record that she will stay in the race until the convention.

One has to wonder whether she has something up her sleeve, whether she is channeling the spirit of Dick Nixon in attempting to capture the nomination, and whether she thinks that the American electorate would not see through such a maneuver, and go with a candidate that is widely perceived, (at least today), as being not too bad, even for a Republican?

How the race unfolds in the party on the left could speak volumes about how it will govern, the conduct of the candidates, (and one in particular), will be the focus of much deserved attention in the coming days and weeks.

Please, please pay close attention to the actions as well as the words.


And now, a few words about something on my mind.

Rush Limbaugh.

Ann Coulter.

Bill O'Reilly.

These are the new pornographers.

The product that they sell is something that really does not exist, it is a fantasy that exists only in the back of small minds unable to digest a reality that does not resemble the expectation that they have made and harbored. They are irrelevant, they contribute nothing. They use their audience to serve another master, in the short term its name is money, in the long term its name may be perdition, (utter destruction).

I don't hate or despise them, I just ignore them.

Any attention that they are given strengthens them, so, to these people, I say, so what?

stay focused

vote. or not. I wonder if it really makes a difference.
