It is March 1, 2016. A hundred years ago, the Germans were trying to kill all the French so they could win. That didn’t work, so they tried again twenty five years later. Now Germany has a woman President, or whatever they call their showcase government official, and is trying to take over Europe economically. They might succeed.

Here in Georgia, it is the Presidential primary. This is the only time we get to make a choice. In the November election, Georgia’s electoral votes are all but conceded to the Republicans. There will be local races, and constitutional amendments, but POTUS will be out of our hands. If you are going to make a choice, you need to do it today.

Officially, there are seven choices. Nominally, they are in two races, and there will be two winners. Each voter gets to choose one person. …. We interrupt this election day commentary to answer the phone. It is a robo call from Ted Cruz. This is the second such call from this person, in addition to an automated survey, and a live interviewer survey. All of these home invasions were in support of Ted Cruz. This is a good reason not to vote for the goofy bastard, as if that were an option to begin with. … Ok, now there are only six candidates to choose from. Making robo calls automatically disqualifies anyone from serious consideration.

You probably know who the six candidates are. None of the sorry six are worth voting for. Ben Carson and John Kasich should have dropped out a while back, but that donations accepted candidate lifestyle is tough to give up. Marco Rubio has personality control issues, and is from Florida.

Americans love to elect dynamic cartoon characters. Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama are two term examples. The showman in this election is Donald Trump. Nothing Mr. Trump says should be taken seriously. America would survive a Trump presidency, but do we want to?

The other charismatic dynamo is Bernie Sanders. Here again, the man has personality out the wazoo, but you can’t believe a word coming out of his New York mouth. He is also butt ugly. The concept of BS in the oval orifice is illegal, immoral, and bad for digestion. If eight years of national halitosis is your idea of morning in america, feel the bern.

Which leaves us with Hillary Clinton. She is well known because she is married to Slick Willie, the most unfaithful husband this side of Donald Trump. Hitlery is much loved by the financial elite, and will probably make them a lot of money. Her public personality sucks. In all fairness, it should be noted that former employee Heather Hurlburt says that Hillary Clinton is not an asshole.

Which brings us to our next point. If you go on facebook today, lots of people are sharing their wonderful opinions with you. At some point, you need to tune out all this noise, and think for yourself. You can do it. It might make your head hurt for a little while, but you will be just fine. And while you are at it, never forget that racism is between rabbit and radical in the dictionary.

If you have read this far, you might have notice that there are no endorsements. All seven candidates would be a disgrace to a third world country, much less the vainglorious United States. Unless you are going to write in Willie B, or Alfred E. Nueman, you have to choose one of the stupid seven. There is one way to make this choice. You can choose the best looking person in the race. This would be Marco Rubio. A vote for Mr. Rubio is also a vote against Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Pictures today are from “The Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library”.
