There is an old bit of American folk wisdom warning that the one sure way of avoiding a divorce is to never get married. Using that logic, if people don't want to deal with a bank foreclosing on their homes, then they shouldn't buy one.
If the wife does get sick, new wisdom says: "have a divorce lawyer deliver the adios papers!" Was Newt afraid to do that?
Isn't it selfish (and a fine example of sewing the seeds for class warfare) for foreclosure victims to begrudge bankers their generous Christmas bonuses? Do they want the foreclosure henchmen to be paid salaries just to sit and ignore past-due mortgage payments?
Didn't a John Steinbeck novel prove that you can't move to California and take the family farm in Oklahoma with you?
Aren't à ¼ber-cynical pundits saying that it is very poignant to realize that the author of "Generation of Swine" died long before the spectacle of this year's P. T. Barnum style Presidential race began to unfold?
Is it true (who doesn't love the Jim Healy sound bites on the Norman Goldman radio show?) that the JEB Bush campaign staff is giving away free copies of Agatha Christie's classic "Ten Little Indians"?
JEB has not been littering the debates with embarrassing sound bytes. JEB has not been participating in kindergarten level squabbles. JEB will look absolutely statesman-like in comparison, when the Vermont primary is held.
Isn't the underlying reason for the pitiful Republican field the same clever bit of game-playing that causes manager of the headline acts at a rock concert to take extreme measures to make sure that the opening acts don't eclipse his guys? If an opening act gets boo-ed off the stage, isn't the contrast much greater then when the headliners do take the stage?
