Fixing Hillary's Fight

Tuesday, while in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton made this cute little analogy between herself and movie-icon Rocky Balboa. She made reference to the conclusion of one of the training montages, where Rocky runs up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

I sincerely doubt Hillary actually sat through the testosterone-slug fest, because if she did, she may have chosen another movie. Rocky Balboa loses to Apollo Creed, coincidentally a black man.

But as I listened to her little speech, I heard something curious. You see, I heard Hillary say, “Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing a fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never get up. And neither do the American people.”

Anyone who knows anything about boxing understands that a fighter always wants to “get up” after being knocked down. Hillary clearly said, “I never get up.”

I wanted to use that as my “Quote of the Day”, however when I went online to find the transcript of her comments, something was very wrong. It was obvious I misheard Hillary’s quote. Or did I…?

According to the Associated Press in the Times of London online, Hillary said, "Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing a fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up. And neither do the American people.”  Continued...

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

Who is driving events of importance? The world and what IS happening, or the ratings-driven media? It gets harder every day to know what the next topic will and/or should be.

A few weeks ago, the world was about to stop on its axis should the United States not rethink the horror that was terrorist-information-extraction technique, known as waterboarding. At the time, many thought we should waterboard Britney Spears and Ron Paul. Has the Bosnian independence action been fully resolved, because it sure was a two-day blockbuster.

It’s almost like, if the press doesn’t cover it, it ceases to exist.

As of today, Friday, March 14, 2008, everything in the media is either Kristen-Eliot Spitzer or Geraldine-Obama-Are the Democrats playing the race card? As we’ve had a couple of promising days on Wall Street, gas prices and the economy are on the back burner, for now.

A week or so ago, we had a pseudo well-publicized meeting of Catholic-Islamic officials in Rome. Thursday, an Archbishop was found dead after his capture by insurgents in Iraq. Some called the Catholics naïve for issuing such an olive branch, as this doesn’t meet the “blame America first” template, and the “freedom fighters” are now looking like the bad guys again. But most in America don’t know about this because we finally caught the punks who shot and killed the two young college girls.

Geraldine Ferraro was Hillary’s monster for a few days, and the liberals who’ve sold America (and the world) on the whole “Democrats are the Party of Civil Rights” BS, are now squirming with the realization that the First (white) Black President and his presidential candidate wife has successfully polarized their party’s voters along racial and gender lines within that exalted political party.

Barack Obama was the colorless, politically disciplined, brilliant orator who was going to bring the country together, until his pastor’s past speech clips have been revealed. While Michelle Obama dominated the news because she only now claims to be proud of America, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the Chicago pastor who married the Obamas, has been quoted as saying,

"God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye.”

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."

Inflammatory stuff to be sure, and watching Obama maneuver around this looming claymore should be interesting, however, I’ll be willing to bet this will not be the big story by Monday.  Continued...
