Watching the Hillary Clinton grilling by the Senate, McCain comes across as a bitter old man who's still campaigning for the presidency, four years later.  But Rand Paul was particularly vicious.  Both seemed more concerned with somehow showing that Obama and Rice were trying to cover up the fact that this was a terrorist attack then trying to prevent it from happening again.  Republicans were trying to discredit Hillary ahead of the 2016 elections, but I think they did more to discredit themselves.





Poem of the Day
by the unknown poet (all rights reserved)

When Smart People

Elect stupid presidents
Ones that don’t read
And can’t talk
Who receive instructions
From their whisky rotted gut
That’s when you realize
The smart people
Are damn dumb.

Here in the deep fried south it's always interesting to read the editorials in the local newspaper. The newspaper here, like I suspect most papers in the south, is tilted toward the right. Did I say tilted? I meant to say tipped to the right like a southern pine after a hurricane.  An opinion piece from reader recently described Abe Lincoln as a "tyrant."  You can imagin what he thinks about Obama.
