Nobody Daily - 5/7/08

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

Nobody Asked Me But:

On July 20th, we plan to celebrate our 19th anniversary in Mendocino where I proposed 20 years ago that day. Yesterday I asked Barb for her view on why we have been so happy.

“That’s easy,” she said. “We both love the same man.”

Political thought on the morning after Obama (probably) cinched the nomination.

Of the two Republican candidates, McCain and Hillary, whom do I like best? Both favor the phony summer gas tax suspension. McCain continues the myth/lie that conservative judges are not activists. Clinton loves it when people say she has balls and is trying to prove them right by stealing Florida - a Bush-league act if there ever was one. She also says that her bomb is bigger than McCain’s, and she will prove it by dropping it on Iran.

Who do I like best? Neither.

Obama’s biggest problem:

The only Democrat in the race, he remains the man of reason who looks lost midst the men of bowling and beer. This begs the question - in November can he win a brains verses balls election? Given that McCain has a triple handicap - age, ideas and a Bush on his back, I like Barack’s chances.
