Follow your Dream - Follow your Madness

am resolved to the reality that i send out so much email JUNK, that
nobody remembers what i shell out. so be it.

ALL THE SAME, somebody may recall that some time ago i floated the notion
of condi running for president in 2008. well, on this past weekend's talk
shows, guess what she was asked?????????

yup. and, as might well be expected, she said "NO!"

no matter what one thinks about her (and EVERYBODY has an opinion about
her), you'd be hard-pressed NOT to agree that ALL politicians say they
aren't interested in future possibilities. and, later, when they change
their minds (ha!) nobody foolishly says, "remember when.......?)

so, i'm saying if not president then most assuredly VICE PRESIDENT. and
nutty as California remains, watch out for Arnold. republicans are funny
as hell; but they aren't stupid! democrats are very bright, humorless and
(these days) pathologically despondent. tsk tsk.

[note: hillary is a non-entity. she is appropriately busy taking care of
bill's heart!!]


.......on my way rejoicing.......
