Do you also think in hackneyed slogans and bumper stickerisms, Tom?

For the record, she was also a two term US Senator from New York and one of the most admired Secretary's of State on both sides of the aisle.

As to famous people making dough speaking to trade groups, colleges and such? Ask your buddy Rajoo about the practice, I'm sure he's seen it up close in Silicon Valley during his years of owning and running a business up there.

The Clintons have enough money to kick back and enjoy their golden years and their grandkids. Why put up with all this bullshit for a measly quarter million?

Think about it. Use Occam's Razor.

A transplant two-term Senator who easily beat a Brooklyn native in the New York primary.

Gee there has to be an establishment super-conspiracy in there somewhere....

Must be the Illuminati, the Freemasons and the Fluoridation lobby behind the whole thing.

Under circumstances suspicious enough to warrant an investigation by the New York State Attorney General's office and has resulted in the suspension of at least two election officials.

Perhaps you should choose your arguments a little more carefully.

Don't you wish Hillary had been unopposed so we don't have to keep raising the validity of the primary results. Just wishful thinking, besides I hate to have to do the math again.

Ice puts forth his arguments like an 8-track tape, it's an endless loop. And the eject button is broken.

That sounds ominous. Would've it changed the results of the New York primary in any meaningful sense?

Don't give up your day job to go into stand up comedy, Rajoo. You'd starve.

Not to worry and that's why I am here, learn history from Robbin and comedy from you. Until then I shall toil in silicon valley and wait for my big break.

I am in Tahoe now, came here this afternoon and it's very hazy from the fires, especially the one in Big Sur. A friend of mine drove to San Luis Obispo yesterday (and back) and he also said it was pretty bad coming back. I have hay fever type symptoms so will have to stay indoors which sucks.
