The electoral equivalent of Chinese water torture dripped on us again last eve. The Hillster eked out a win in the Hoosier State and The Hopester won big in the Tarheel State. The Geezer spoke to a disappointing crowd in Winston Salem, NC and his words went unheard by most in North Carolina. Perhaps The Geezer's Tarheel supporters were already lining up at the pump for cheap gas.
Some restaurants feature "Death by Chocolate" desserts. We are being treated to steady diet of "Death by Primary Elections." The editorial cartoonist in Palm Beach, Don Wright, was on target today: this system is daffy. He might have substituted Walt Disney's Goofy for Warner Brothers' Daffy. The system is both daffy and goofy. Enough already! If this is (fair & balanced) political fatigue, so be it.
