A Day of Reckoning!



The more you watch the polls and read the newspapers and listen to the talking heads,

You realize that we are being inundated with mythologies, false premises, and just blah-blah—blah to fill up news time.



Most of them quite literally don’t know what the hell they are talking about.



Some are kids who have been through one or two elections and are considering themselves experts; others are going by the polls that have proved enormously inaccurate. others just mouth inanities or look to mince words, or start trouble just to fill an hour with pettiness that seems to go unfiltered, unmonitored and uncontrolled. As a result, a lot of the chatter seems juvenile and needing the guiding hand of a strong, respected editor. Sorry, no such thing....



Doesn't it make you mad as hell to watch these imbeciles proffer their idiocy?



But there’s that hour to fill up!.....



Remember Saturday Night Live when Reagan got shot and Chevy Chase doing the take-off on the media.



Overall, I have to admit that I think Buchanan is more right more of the time than anyone else when it comes to figuring it out. Sorry critics!



I know he’s something else these days, not a Republican; certainly not a Democrat; perhaps more the Libertarian. I can’t be sure.



But he’s seen the game played from every angle and he’s worth listening to when you are reading Krugman or listening to some of the old prophets still beating their gums about who has the best chance….



The Washington Post had an interesting series on the Millennium generation, that generation born in the 1980’s going up to 92; they said that they are a far cry from Boomers; they are more hopeful, less aggressive, more eager to help each other out.



And they are more representative being a composite of black, Hispanic, liberal, gay, college graduate, etc.



One gets that impression looking at the followers of Obama who believe in his message of hope and it is a very contagious one….



I think Hillary would have done better talking about the candidate of hope but hope with experience instead of coming off as the most clinical of the candidate, the candidate most willing to dissect the oppositions every word and most eager to shed blood.



She also should have admitted her mistake about the Iraq vote and that would have been it.



But it doesn’t do much good doing the Monday morning quarterbacking when so much is at stake.



On the Republican side, it looks like Romney despite all of his professed credentials and his willingness to bankroll his campaign despite the poor showings is going to get edged out if we find any credibility in the polls. And these are not going to be small losses if the numbers are correct.



For Romney to lose the State of Massachusetts, which as of today is a real possibility, would practically sink his chances one would think.



Originally, I thought it would be over by February 5; now it may for Romney but I think this is going to turn out a real cliff hanger for Hillary and Obama.



And this could go right to the end.



So whether you are a Millennium generation type or a Boomer or Generation X, hold onto your tights, we are going to be rocked tomorrow in the wildest Primaries we have ever seen.



And imagine, the viewership and the involvement of Europeans and others in what’s going on in our primary is blowing them away.



And maybe it will help erase the perception that all Americans are ugly Americans.



We shall see as this unfolds.



And may the swamp be ready to receive the great Decider when his term is over.



For that one, I swear I’ll get drunk.
