Good morning.

According to the Twitter machine, there is a very good chance that Joe Biden may run for President.

I am not sure how this would work politically. Our current President has all but endorsed Secretary Clinton and she is really doing pretty well in the polls.

Bernie Sanders is still in the race, and by all accounts is enjoying a bit of a bump in many pols.

We have Martin O'Malley who, in my personal estimate is saying all the right things and putting out white papers that are far more progressive than anything I have seen in years when it comes to climate change and law enforcement reform — and yet few people want to pay attention.

That is because - by my estimate - so much oxygen in the room is being used by Clinton and Sanders.

Yes, there is Chafee, a former Republican and Webb, also a former Republican. However, he has the extra baggage of supporting the traitor flag of the south.

Joe Biden is a great man, and - to be very honest - I would definitely give him another look when it comes to my support. What I don't see or know is what will his niche be? I suppose (and this is not said flippantly), he could run on extending the policies of the Obama-Biden Administration. However, there is an awful lot of that in the Clinton proposals from what we have seen so far.

Sanders and Clinton supporters are truly planted in their candidates camp, so I don't see Biden peeling off enough support to hurt.

We'll see what happens if these rumors are true, I suppose.

In the meantime, while our party struggles from a wealth of riches to ponder, we have a thunderdome-style GOP debate coming up this week. The most horrifying thing is that one of the candidates will get the nomination.

Have a great Monday everyone!

AND
Raine

I have found a 51:14 long cover of "Sister Ray" by a band called Arbouretum. It is a dee-lite!

Poor little Rumpy won't come to the Union Leader's debate tonight. First it was because they said mean things to him when they called him out for dissing McCain, now it's because they won't endorse him. Poor Rumpy needs to pull up his big boy panties.

I in his general direction. Just imagine I said that with a really campy French accent.

It's pretty amazing that Santorum actually won a few states last time around, and this time he'll end up at the kiddie table for the debate.

Pretty much.

Well, I am back home from my interview. I think it went okay. I was asked why I did not have a full-time teaching job yet, and I think that I answered it well enough. I should know if I get the job on Friday.

After I take care of some things, it is back to job hunting. I am beginning to wonder if I will get a teaching job. (I am checking on other things, but years of subbing may not work in my favor outside of teaching.)

Good day, folks. His egoness probably thinks he's too good to hang out at the kids table, and he needs to browbeat people. I can't wait to hear his answer if they ask the candidates if they believe the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.

Raine,

I have yet another reason to dislike "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" besides the myriad of obvious reasons. They use Monotype Corsiva as a font on their chyron. Bold as well!



Still it could be worse, could be Comic Sans.

It is tiny and unreadable. Yet people think it looks "classy" klassy.
