Let's see... The cpu crashed & I had to wait to scrimp together enough $ to get it fixed.
Upshot - no posting for 2+ months.
Not much happened. The Republican primaries were a lot of fun for a while. The candidates threw out the long-respected Reagan dictum, "Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican." Gee, it was pretty wild & wooly for a while there!! But peace has been restored among the ranks, or so it seems. Will see if tonight's debate is contentious or if the "anyone other than Mitt" candidates show due deference to the presumed but not yet crowned contender.
The interesting wrinkle to this whole thing is the Colbert Factor - Stephen's Super Pac is putting him in an excellent position to educate the public (well, the vast amount that follow him) about the wily ways of our current campaign funding & activities. What better way to explain & expose Super Pacs than by having one of your own??
I am mightily impressed with Stephen! Stephen! Stephen!, who seems to be the most adept satirist since Mark Twain. No small complement. Jon Stewart pricks at the hot air balloons of politics, but Colbert makes mincement of actual political processes by making them hot beds of humor. Well done, sir!
