Thoughts Out Of Season

Benghazi aside, I'm going to make a bold prediction tonight. In 4 years we will be welcoming the first woman president into office. Yes I believe that Hillary Clinton will win the next presidential election. She'll capture the women's vote overwhelmingly; the minority vote will be all hers, independents just interested to see if a woman can make a greater mess of things than any man in the past has done will go for here; and, most important she'll have President Bill Clinton as her consigliere, one other smart SOB. She's laying low now. Smart unlike Rubio out in front 4 years before looking more like a deer caught in the headlights than a dear should. As for me, I'll vote for her.She's tough, smart, full of drive and ambition. Plus I'm interested myself to see if a woman can screw things up as bad as the last group of ner' do wells have done.

Step in dog pooh? A million paparazzi snapping pictures of him scraping it off ; accidentally stiff some waitress at a local Piggly Wiggly, the waitresses union (if there is such) will picket his house the length of a month of Sundays (kudos to Curtis for that one);...

Marco Rubio's blatant attempt to garner popularity and possible contribution dollars from the folks that bottle Poland Spring Water by awkwardly reaching for a bottle of the famed thirst quencher during his rebuttal of President Obama's State of the Union Address set off a firestorm of criticism today. An  Aquifina official was one of the first to respond " All he had to do was ask. We would have given him a liter bottle. Look, instead he tries  to make everyone believe he's quenching his thirst with what amounts to a urine specimen cup" smirked an Aqufina official who would not give his name due to the sensitive issue of the matter. A Deer Park water spokesman was heard to lament " Dear Park, what he drank wasn't good water". A Gatorade official, when asked to comment about the matter did nothing  except to blow cigar smoke in this reporter's face and laugh hysterically while holding his immense, rotund belly. Even New York City's Billionai...
