Today's Political Comment

I think I'm going to sever ties with…well, I'm not sure this person was ever a friend since among other factors, I never met him in person. I guess "E-Mail Acquaintance" is a more accurate term. I've lately been trying to ignore folks who send me endless cut-and-paste screeds about how Obama was born in Kenya, Obama is a secret Muslim, Obama is gay, Obama is plotting with the Kremlin to destroy America, etc. I especially love the ones about how Obama has a secret plan to declare Martial Law, suspend the 2016 presidential elections and stay in the Oval Office for a third term, a fourth term, etc. I guess this idea was stolen from the secret plan Bill Clinton had to stay in office forever and the secret plan George W. Bush had to stay in office forever. Those who hate whoever follows Obama (and yes, Mike, someone will…and in 2017) will start telling you shortly after Inauguration Day of his or her secret plan to start a war, declare Martial Law, and never leave the presidency.

In fact, I think I need to sever more ties with people like that. Unfortunately, there are a lot more people like that.
