No, He’s Not Hitler—Yet. Trumpism is not Fascism—Yet. And while 63 MILLION AMERICANS voted for this guy, that is only 27 Percent of the voting-eligible population. There is plenty of resistance out there to make sure he doesn’t become Hitler and we don’t succumb to neo-fascism. Let’s get to work.

/ November 9, 2012I have yet to stop laughing and don’t get me wrong…Karl Rove on FOX on election night was a memory I will hold forever BUT yesterday the Fox Radio Show by Neal Boortz (sp) was pure gold. He told the GOP exactly what they did wrong, pulled no punches, AND was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. I laughed all the way to work as he recounted Akin and the rest of the Republican looney tunes and their antics. Classic.
As for the Community Organizer…I love him. I told my husband election night…”The Community Organizer with a teleprompter just kicked their rich asses.” Exactly.
I heard Donald Trump, Ted Nugent, and Karl Rove all jumped off the Empire State building.

/ November 9, 2012Can you imagine, given all that I have written about local politics, how I would play in, say, Pineville? I’d be less popular there than Barack Obama!
But I’m flattered I’d have at least one vote, Jim. Thanks. Add that to my wife’s vote and I’d have, uh, one vote.

/ November 9, 2012Gene,
Congrats on your efforts in Kansas. You did very well and I admire your courage to undertake such a thing. I wish I could have voted for you. Don’t give up. You’ve got your name out there now and keep building on that.
As for me, should I entertain running for any kind of office, my only supporters would be the skeletons in my closet, who would certainly welcome the chance to campaign with me, if you know what I mean.
