Saturday Musings

- Sandra Day O’Connor has joined the ranks of Republican women raising their voices for Alzheimer’s disease research. Her fellow Republican stalwart and care-giver, Nancy Reagan also has pleaded the case for the proper funding of the proper research. I guess God doesn’t want Republican men to be haunted by their memories in old age.

- Invading countries and hanging their leaders is a new global benchmark for justifiable invasion. (See Iraq). It is being debating concerning Myanmar.

- The A-list progressive blogosphere has a new strategy for their Presidential hopeful, Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Ignore the fact that he has not secured the nomination and run stories and headlines that treat him like the candidate and ignore Senator Hillary Clinton…ignore at your own risk.

- Listen up fellow liberals. A progressive agenda the likes we haven’t seen since LBJ’s Great Society and FDR’s New Deal could be yours if the Senator from New York lands the Senate Majority Leader’s job. And if we have a veto-proof Congress, the President will be inconsequential….well he can go to parties and dignitary functions where he can drink and do the least harm.

Maybe the reign of the Imperial American Presidency is at an end. Bush, Jr. proved no one deserves the power. A new balance of power for a new American century.

- It is interesting watching Bush, Jr. trying to pull the gas pump out of his ass.

- Dick Cheney, anyone? Anyone seen Dick?

- I’m stumped. I can’t imagine who Senator Obama is going to pick for his Veep candidate. I don’t know enough about him to guess. I will make a crazy suggestion: Patrick Murphy, the young Congressman from Pennsylvania. (he’ll be 35 by election day) Hope and Change!

McCain will go with Joe Lieberman (I hope). And Senator Clinton, (yes, she still is in the damn race so we have to include her.) can go with Wes Clark. (John Edwards and Bill Richardson are out of the running for a Clinton II Administration) This should be interesting.

-Two words for Appeasers: Prescott Bush.
