Where Have You Gone Ron Paul...And If You Can't Rock It In Bed, You Can't Be My Governor

He was the only Presidential candidate or officeholder actually speaking out about the dangers of a weak dollar ('currency devaluation', in his stark parlance). And now Ron Paul looks like a Nobel Laureate in Economics. I'm no MBA but even I can see how this devalued dollar is making our financial mess not just hard on citizens but downright dangerous. Like 1929 dangerous. A fairly good authority on these matters agrees. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120571257905240327.html?mod=djemEditorialPage

In campaign news Florida will not have a re-vote and Michigan will. Michigan will have a privately funded re-vote June 3rd. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0308/9090.html
I'm too exhausted by this whole DNC issue to even comment.

Barack Obama will make a major speech on race today. Should be interesting. Hillary Clinton bashed both Obama and John McCain on their Iraq positions yesterday, prompting Obama to describe her comments as 'Chutzpah' on St. Patrick's Day. Well, why not? For many years, Dublin's Mayor was an observant Jew named Shapiro. Really. Look it up.

Speaking of Obama, William Kristol wrote what may be the worst Op-Ed piece in the history of the Times. First, he made a claim that Obama was in the pew for a Jeremiah Wright jeremiad (I can't believe no one's come with that pun yet) that Obama had said he was not present for. But then Kristol had to issue an italicised retraction before the column itself, because the Obama campaign had offered proof of his absence. Then, Kristol continued to deliver a flacid semi-condemnation of Obama supporters for calling themselves Generation Obama. Wow. Economy's collapsing. World markets are this close to all out panic. Violence is spiking in Iraq. Race has reared its ugly head in the Presidential campaign. And all Billy can write about is 'Generation Obama'? Unbelievable. Check it out. If you need a nap. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/17/opinion/17kristol.html?_r=1&ref=opinion&oref=slogin

And just when you thought no one in politics was having any fun, David Paterson runs from his swearing-in as NY Governor to tell the Daily News about his affair seven years ago. And his wife tells her side to a female reporter from the News. Ok. But do we have to know Paterson did it at the Days Inn on 94th Street? At least make it the Waldorf or the Algonquin. But a Days Inn? In Manhattan? That's an impeachable offense right there.

And, then Teddy Pederson, ex NJ Governor Jim McGreevey's chauffeur, swears he had a menage a trois with the maybe-he-is-maybe-he-ain't-so gay governor and his ex wife Dina. Dina, of course, has denied participating in these 'orgies', even though the Governor has confirmed them. But if she's worried that these episodes would blow (sorry) her contention that she didn't know McGreevey was gay, no problem. Pederson comments that he didn't think the Gov was gay, either. Even though he was only doing it with Dina. Whew. These guys make CT. ex-Governor John Rowland look like a choirboy. I'm going to take a cold shower now.

Will the US taxpayer bail out the financial institutions that gave us this suprime crisis? Or will everyone just have sex until this whole thing blows over? Talk about this or anything else by clicking on 'comments' below, bypassing the Google sign up and hitting the nickname or anonymous button.
