The issues are the most important thing...except when they're not

Submitted by James Kroeger on Tue, 06/28/2016 - 12:51pm

For the vast majority of Bernie Sanders' supporters, the issues are the most important thing. To me, they are literally everything that really matters in this election year.

But you wanna know something?

Even if Bernie had (1) somehow won the Dem nomination outright months ago and had (2) even been able to persuade the Dem party establishment to hop on his bandwagon (!!), it would not have convinced me that winning the general election would be a virtual certainty.

Being right on the issues is simply not enough to take your crusade to the promised land...

Some idle speculation on Assange's timing on releasing the Email data...

So I was dusting the house and as is the norm when doing mindless tasks I was also engaging in idle speculation.

One of the things I was thinking about was all the questions I see repeatedly asking, "Why the hell won't Assange release the damn info already!".

And a possible answer hit me.

Could he be waiting for the last interviewee to have a chance to perjure themselves, Abedin in particular?

Are there any other interviews still to be conducted?

So the people marketing the movie Independence Day: Resurgence, they decided to create a tube, Independence Day: My Street, "where one could enter their physical address and see their block pulverized by the U.S. Air Force and UFOs."

I am wondering just what sort of sad and serious self-loathing would possess a person, to want to watch their home be destroyed by terrestrial serial killers and alien marauders, when I encounter the next line: "The clever idea backfired when the media noticed that users would enter in the addresses where tragedies took place, i.e. Brussels Airport, Café Bonne Biere in Paris and 1 World Trade Center, the latter generating eerie images reminiscent of 9/11."

Something is wrong with the humans.

Introduction to an Operatic aria to be sung by Huma Abedin

Ladies and gentlemen, knowing that many of you are fond of music, be pleased to learn that in just a few short hours we shall the pleasure of listening to Soprano Huma Abedin emote on travails experienced wandering through the quicksand in search of...oh, I forgot what she was searching for--but I do know on whose behest she was searching. As in a Wagnerian opera, which typically last far too long, Ms. Abedin will sing arias worthy of Der Meistersinger.
