A PHRASE Is Worth a Thousand Words

Ahhhh, yes indeed. It is that time of year again. We are gearing up for the Presidential election bullshit I mean campaigns. And in honor of that special time of forthrightness, I give you a few of my suggestions for possible candidates' campaign slogans. Now, some of these people may not run this time around, but like Rocky, they will surely rise up for that final bout at some point. And by "final", I mean, "God help us".

1. Sam Brownback: Vote for the Skidmark
2. Hillary Clinton: I'm In and I'm In to Win, Though the South Hates Me and I Hope You Forgot Whitewater and So What I Let You Down on the War and Obama Who?
3. Rudy Giuliani: Taking Care of the Terrorists Like I Took Care of Donna
4. John Edwards: Rockin'the House at Riverside and Beyond...Uh, Yo.
5. Al Gore: It's Gettin' Hot in Here So Take Off All Your Clothes for Global Warmin'!
6. John Kerry: Eat More Ketchup So I Have Something to Fall Back On
7. Jeb Bush: What's a Slogan?
8. Barack Obama: Only Slightly Overwhelmed in 2008
4. John McCain: First the Cong; Then the Dong!

Oh, I can't wait to see the commercials!

Words to live by

The quality of being genuine is hard to convey, and deciding who should be president based solely on that basis can lead to disaster; you need brains and an ability to go with the flow as well. But voters know a phony above all and Romney came off as one from the get-go. Over the last decade he had changed his views in a rightward direction on so many issues to suit what he thought he needed to win the GOP nomination that he ended up standing for nothing but his own ambition.

It's no accident that the GOP race is down to three men who are clear about who they are: McCain, Huckabee and, yes, Ron Paul.
