Rhymes With Rich

Queen Hillary
Ask any Hillary Clinton supporter why she would make a good president and chances are they will come up empty. Then ask why they like her and set your stopwatch to see how soon they cough up, "Well, she's better than George Bush!" The awful truth is that Hillary has nothing to recommend her to that once-high office, brought down low by her very own husband who was busy having oral sex in the Oval Office, or was it anal sex in the Oral Office? Oh, who besides Monica can remember...

No, I'm not going there, although if Hillary wins and Bill is back inside, he surely will, and with abandon this time. Instead I am simply questioning the Democratic voters who insist she would be good at the job because she is a woman and because she, well, as Secretary of State she did a lot of traveling, and then when she was a Senator she....

A few (three or four) people I actually like and respect are in Hillary's corner, but only because they hate Republicans, and really, you can't blame them. But that's simply not a good enough reason to have a shrill and dishonest shrew holding all the face cards and making things here even worse than they already are, which is abysmal. Following are a few indications of how we rank globally with other nations:
     #115 (out of 200 countries) in Linguistic Diversity
     #26 for Child Well-Being
     #34 for Life Expectancy
     #19 for National Satisfaction
     #2 (out of 14 countries, 1 being the dumbest) in General Ignorance

In fact, America is first in only two things: The number of prisoners and the number of super-rich citizens. The super-rich are defined as having a net worth of over $50 million. Combined, Bill and Hillary are worth $102.5 million. So, unless or until they are incarcerated, I suppose we should be grateful they are at the top in something.
