Foleygate: Mark Foley is toast, and anybody in House GOP leadership who knew about his predilections and kept it under wraps (including Dennis Hastert) should be, too. When an elected official — Democrat, Republican, or otherwise — is caught lusting after underage minors for sex, they should be removed from office immediately, political power be damned.
Will the GOP pay dearly at the polls next month? Possibly, given that the Republicans have been acting like Democrats. Will I vote Democrat in protest? Heck no. I’d sooner stay home than have a leftist relapse.
North Korea: We can thank Bill Clinton for the current situation, as he dared to make nice with Kim Jong-Il and provide nuclear technology in trade for a pretty-please-with-sugar-on-it promise not to build a bomb. Expect another round of short-tempered, finger-pointing revisionism from the man who “tried” to kill bin Laden and “didn’t” have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.
“Blame Bush!”, they cry? Yeah, that’s the ticket.
One-on-one talks won’t help here, as Kim is using an alleged nuke test to draw attention to himself. He’s so ronery. Here’s hoping his next-door neighbors will tell him to knock it off and get a life before he gets smacked down. For real.
Rampant School Violence: Can we now consider giving school personnel the option to carry arms for self-defense before another disgruntled outcast goes postal? Teaching and learning are honorable professions, but they’re not worth dying for.
