Oh, I Have An Idea What We Should Do With Hillary......

In the last couple of weeks, as it became apparent that despite every dirty trick Bill and Hillary tried Obama was going to get the Democratic nomination, all of the talk has been "What next for Hillary?" Now I remember in the old days (like the week before last), when the person that lost a primary was, well, the loser.

Look, at the beginning of the year the presumptive Republican candidate was going to be Mitt Romney or Rudy Guliani, and yet here we are with John McCain. Okay, well I guess that's why they actually hold the primaries and the caucuses, rather than just appoint the nominee. However, how many news stories have you heard in the last few months asking what role Mitt or Rudy would play in a Mccain White House? Oh, Mitt or Rudy might play a role in a McCain administration, but who is out there demanding a role for either two gentleman?

And yet everyone, it seems, is calling for a new role for Hillary, as if there is great shame in having to go back to being "just a Senator". is the democratic party so afraid of Hillary Clinton that they have to reward her with some grand, unearned position to keep the beast sedated? Apparently.

Now we've all heard the talk of Vice President, and that is not that uncommon, as those who do well in the primary but don't receive the nomination are usually considered for this position, or at least there is talk about the consideration. The only problem with Hillary for VP is that she and Obama really don't like each other. I mean they really don't like each other. Not that that is not without precedent, there have been several President/Vice-President combo's that were lukewarm or worse in the past: Clinton/Gore, Reagan Bush, Kennedy/Johnson, and that's just in the last 50 years. But in those instances, how many of those vice presidents had ever floated the idea of assassination before the general election even began? No, there is only one reason to appoint Hillary VP: Fear. And you know what, while I think Obama is too liberal and too naive to hold the presidency, I do consider him a man of principle, a consideration that will evaporate immediately if he allows himself to be bullied into putting Hillary on the ticket.

So if not the Vice President, what then. Well, Hillary's a lawyer, so why not Attorney General of the United States, or maybe Supreme Court Justice? Seriously, people are floating these suggestions, as if a law degree is adequate for these positions. Does it matter that we want to put someone in one of the top legal positions in the land who got caught illegally with 900 FBI files, falsely accused the White House travel office executives of a crime, or over billed her clients as the Rose Law firm. I I ain't even gonna bring up White Water.

Secretary of State? Why Hillary simultaneously opposed the War in Iraq and voted to start it. Is there a country or a leader out there that Hillary is not capable of offending? I doubt it.

Here's a good one: Hillary for Health Care Reform Czar. Seriously? She didn't screw this up enough in the 90's that we want to give her another shot at it? Hey, while we are at it lets put Bill in charge of the intern program? Sure, he had a little problem in the 90's, but if Hillary can get another shot at her problem, ..........

Others are pushing for Hillary for Senate Majority Leader. Sure, eight years is long enough to earn that position, and it's not like Dodd, Biden, or any of the other Democrats who have been there for 30, 40, or 50 years actually WANT the job.

What is it that this women knows that has people so frightened? Why is it that these otherwise intelligent people bow to giving this woman whatever she wants. Why is Hillary so scary? Can anyone tell me. Anyone.... Yes, Mrs. Foster, you have your hand up.......

Jay? Not Jay? Either Way I Like The Way He Thinks!

My Brother sent me an e-mail the other day, one of those e-mail that gets past on from person, to person, to person, until it gets to me. Then it dies, because I'm not one to pass on e-mails. And yet today, I don't feel like going into the political rat race, like rubbing Obama's thumping by Hillary in Puerto Rico (68% to 32%!!!) into my old pal Chris' face. Okay, I probably had enough in me for that one jab........

So today I'm going to break my rule and repeat my brothers e-mail. This is a story that was suppose to have been written by Jay Leno. I doubt it really was, as most of these types of things floating in the digital ether are rarely actually written by the person they were attributed to. I guess we're not open to advice from someone we don't know, but as far as I'm concerned, good writing is good writing. I hope you agree.

The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?''

A.. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?

B.. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?

C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?

D.. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?

E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?

F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?

G.. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.

H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.

I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.

J.. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.

K.. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.

L.. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.

M.. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?

Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy. Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?

Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.

Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a''dishonorable' ' discharge after a few days in the brig.

So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane!

Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

And if you don't send this to at least ten people.....well, nothing bad will happen to you. But really, would a true friend not turn his or her pals onto lostiowandiary.blogspot.com
