Typically, I will only go to political events that feature candidates that I am inclined to support. I don’t recall ever driving two hours just to go see someone that I totally disagree with; let alone get there so early that I’m on the front row. But this doesn’t seem to be a barrier to…

Misc Comments on My Trip Thus Far
I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

“Behold, I stand at the door and pick the lock. Don’t kick the door down, just pick the lock.” This advice from one demon to another was recorded by Isaac Air Freight as part of their skit on “Battle of Invisible Empires” back in 1979. This quote is what I think of when I read…

“With friends like that who needs enemies?” was my first thought when I heard Lindsey Graham had endorsed Ted Cruz. Then I read this article from Politico and knew I was on to something. When asked who he preferred between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, Graham said, “It’s like being shot or poisoned, what does…

With Rubio out, the question is will the Establishment now get behind Cruz or look elsewhere for a nominee? Yesterday, I would have said our choices were Trump, Cruz, or draft Romney at the Convention. Today, former House Speaker and leader with a spine of Jell-O, John Boehner, has offered yet another choice; Paul “I…

I still remember people on my ship making fun of Chief Johnson when they would say in their most mocking redneck accent, “What are you Petty Officer Smith, some kind of stupid or what?” Today Ted Cruz has fired-off his version of my old Chief, Cruz called most Republican voters stupid because they support other…

As you know, next week’s political primaries include both Ohio and Florida. These winner take all states are Mitt Romney and the Republican Establishment’s last firewall to stop Donald Trump. As things stand now, Romney’s gambit is likely to fail. Rubio will not win Florida and John Kasich will not win Ohio. If Trump wins…
