Instincts
Sun., September 14, 11:54 AM
This post is about my instincts. I once told somebody — I don’t remember the circumstances — that instinct is formed at least in part by one’s experiences. You absorb information even when you don’t think it is anything of consequence.
From time to time, I begin an editorial (or rant, if you prefer) by saying I’m not an economist. I didn’t say it with my letter about the GDP. I saw an article in today’s paper that says my instincts were not too ridiculous. I particularly like the phrase that it “doesn’t pass the sniff test.”
One last comment about Sarah Palin who, as I already explained, does not speak for me.
I figure McCain & Co. chose Palin as a distraction. She’s like a magnet to attract all the negative remarks, so that no one says anything nasty about that poor old man. (I’m not particularly sympathetic to old men these days, y’know.) Her choices are so, um, illogical — that’s the kindest thing I can say about them — that she could end up being McCain’s Tom Eagleton. (The history dummies will have to look that one up; the rest of us remember.)
Barack, unfortunately, is a smart man with a smart wife. The whole scenario may be his undoing. Oh, and that private school he went to in Hawaii? I have to go back and check, but I thought he went there on scholarship.
It is well worth your while to look at my friend Bev’s post for today. Amazingly enough, she had a comment from someone who does not think Americans are dopey or uninformed or whatever, but that Bev is bitter. I think a lot of us are.
Rather than expound on my instincts about alternate power, let me give you a recommendation from my favorite “Kevin and Kell.”
