10. Well . . . maybe from the distance of a thousand years and a galaxy far far away

Dec 2014

both parties are cut from the same cloth, but we don't live in that galaxy or that millenium, and from the perspective of reality, they are not.

That's the nicest possible way I can say don't take the horseshit shoveled by wags like Chomsky seriously. Yeah it sounds very clever and it is, by half. Basically it's a get-out-of-jail free card for our worst criminals, Kissinger for example.

Which brings us to HRC and her friendship with Henry which I'm sure will be the subject of much heated badinage in coming months. Can't really defend it much less endorse it but my take is, it's nothing to be proud of, but on the other hand, she is a politician in her own right, and has an obligation to respect her constituents. That's about the best I can do this late but I think it looks worse that it really is. Clinton is not Nixon and if past is prologue she isn't Thatcher either. JMHO.
