In Politics, What Comes After the Cheese

After Wisconsin's sharp cheddar, things look more stable with Bernie Sanders on a clear ascendancy and Ted Cruz, his esteemed but ignoble opponent.  Donald Trump is floundering about unsure who to attack and Hillary Clinton has gone all-out Victimization of the Shrew.

Trump had to screw himself eventually and he finally got annoying enough that everyone is pissed off with him.  Clinton has shown much the same political grace in making herself look meaner and more spiteful each day.  Multiple sources are throwing at her the fact of millions from Big Oil so her mood must be a peach these days.


A good many of you have, maybe grudgingly, decided Bernie Sanders is the active play.  In yer darkest conservative fantasy, you know you like a good deal of what he says but you don't believe he can do it.  Whether he can is a fair question and we know you're asking it.

We don't have any particular concern regarding Ted Cruz as the opponent since he's obviously outmatched in experience, qualifications, accomplishment and (cough) mental agility.  His tactics have been spiteful and evil and that sort of thing won't play in the Big Tent.


The comedic downside is there's nothing particularly funny about Clinton and Trump hitting the skids as they were only amusing when they thought they weren't.  Presumably they will just get more vicious and continue self-destructing.

Cruz isn't particularly funny, he's just an asshole, and Sanders is the kind of guy who makes you smile.  There's not much potential for belly laughs.


Who knows if he gets high now but we have no doubt Bernie Sanders has sampled the heathen loco weed during his travels.  He and his wife, Jane, were right in the thick of hippiedom and both of them show the best of what hippies are.

What we want to know is if Bernie Sanders got high with Martin Luther King and ...

(Ed:  what?  MLK didn't get high!)

How do you know that?  I didn't know him but it seems anyone that cool must have been high at one time or another (larfs).

They were marching along and Sanders was only an arm's reach from Doctor King so they must have talked while they marched.  Surely you don't think a bunch of people with a cause, marching along a road in the heat of the Alabama Summer and sharing a palpable risk, are going to march in silence!

(Ed:  are you saying they were getting high while they marched?)

Oh, sure.  That worked out so well down South in "Easy Rider," didn't it.


(Ed:  so ganja comes after the cheese?)

No.  Ganja comes before the cheese.  We still don't know what comes after the cheese.
