2012 Political Predictions

No. Not really. the Catholics at least got the country through prohibition.

I remember JFK being Catholic was a pretty big deal in a significant quantity of folks' minds.  Many were very concerned that he would be subservient to the Pope.  "They" may have been thankful that Papa Kennedy brought them them their Chivas but a Catholic for President was a totally different question.

That's what you get for being so judgmental.

Call it what you want, that is the impression I get from your posts.  At least the age impression is not intended as an insult.

The Pope wasn't going to be hanging with the Kennedy's in the Oval Office....but again I ask, are you aware of Mitt's inner sanctum? They are religious zealots. Sorry, not my idea of brain power....

Well it doesn't seem your perception of me is "one with wisdom." And don't tell me I seem senile....

Didn't have to be.  People were afraid of Kennedy's allegiance as a Catholic to the Pope over the USA.  Right or wrong didn't matter.  That was the concern.

I think this should stop at you and I disagree on almost everything.

I have no problem with Michelle Obama suggesting that kids eat healthier food and portions.  Anything beyond suggestions will require careful scrutiny.  

The USDA already changed the school lunches they pay for. Smaller portions, more fruits and vegetables, and no second helpings except of the fruits and vegetables, which are unlimited. That's what I've read, anyway. I'm neither in school nor have a child in school, so I can't say for sure. Apparently a few Republicans have decided that Obama is trying to starve children or something.

Kids can, of course, buy whatever they like in schools where there is food for sale other than the USDA lunch or bring whatever they'd like, just like the old days.

Man, I wouldn't mind some good old USDA standard vegetable beef stew with a USDA standard grilled cheese sandwich right now.

Obama's October surprise:

He's got Asperger's!

Uh-Oh...And one of the polls that favors Obama precedes the debate.

More starfish pucker fodder for the left.

The CNN poll ought to pucker you right up. If Romney loses Ohio (Obama is +4 among LVs and +10 among RVs), there's still little chance of a win for him.

Polls do not mean Hoss to me. I hate them, and the fact that you have not picked up on that explains why you miss my joke on the subject.

Today's CNN/ORC poll for Ohio.

However, this should cheer you up:
