I’m going out on a limb here and predict Hillary Clinton will be our next president. I don’t think Americans will elect a black guy named “Barack Obama”. Won’t happen. McCain is friggin’ scary. Who doesn’t look back to the Clinton years with rosy nostalgia? Now that Mitt Romney has dropped out, it looks to be Clinton vs McCain.

I heard someone mistakenly refer to Huckabee as “Hucklebee”. Now whenever I hear “Huckabee” I think “Hucklebee” and chuckle.

I’m never right about these things. I once bet that Carter would beat Reagan for president. However when I made that bet I was out of touch with the news, having spent the previous three years to the ‘80 election holed up in the remote mountains of Northern New Mexico reading obscure books.

My Mom always knows who’s going to win. One day when I was in high school she came home and said “Jimmy Carter will be our next President”. He was way beyond even a long-shot at that point- when she made that pronouncement, I’m serious that no one outside of Georgia had ever even heard of the dude. I told her I was volunteering for Zeese for Senate and she said that Cardin would win.

Actually, according to that soldier who came back in time from the year 2036*, this is the year that the US breaks up into warring factions. McCain doesn’t go down gracefully- he takes control of the Army and in a coup d’etat installs himself as President. This instigates a guerrilla war in which the Democrats take to the Appalachians. The economy disintegrates. McCain said he wasn’t good at economic issues, didn’t he?
