Warren Drops Out!
Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the presidential campaign
after a poor showing on Super Tuesday, consistent with the previous three
states that the candidates contested. I think she was qualified to be the
president. She was certainly smart, Harvard law professor and all. She had good
experiences as a Senator, was a good debater, and all that aside, she had a
poor showing.
I’m told that she lost because she was a woman. I heard
that at home, I heard it on late-night pundit shows, and I read it in the
opinion section of the newspaper. Men, you see, simply won’t vote for a woman
for president, I’m told. Hillary Clinton, however, won about three million more
individual votes than Trump in the last election. Don’t tell The Donald! Ergo,
men will vote for a qualified woman. Don’t tell the pundits
I considered writing a commentary about why women aren’t
elected. It is a great topic for a blog. It is also an express ticket to perdition!
It’s safer to write about opening day for the local Little
League baseball league. The great-grandson starts Tee Ball this year, dressed
in a Red Sox uniform. How bad can that be? The Coronavirus reached pandemic
proportions this week. The President has a new Chief of Staff. The Eagles had a
massive concert in Houston last night. Austin’s SXSW festival was called off.
Schools are closing down for a few weeks and crowds are discouraged. A friend recommends
that we all buy one of those cones you put around a dog’s neck to keep you from
touching your face. I wonder if sales of Corona beer are down too.
Anyone of those topics is safer to write about than why
men do not vote for women or why Warren dropped out.
Don’t forget to wash your hands!!!
