MORE RANDOM THOUGHTS

1)V.P.Joe Biden has, up till now, been a fairly handsome man. Suddenly his physiognomy has undergone a very noticeable change. I suspect a botox treatment gone bad. He looks terrible. He has always been an idiot but some of his recent statements make me believe that he has actually gone mad. I think he should be removed from office.

2)The US government from time to time issues it's estimate of the ongoing inflation (i.e the debasement of our currency ). These estimates seem to have very little to do with reality. Evidence of this is readily available in your local food market. This was brought forcibly to my attention when I discovered, to my chagrin, that a six pack of beer has gone up by a dollar, a 20% increase in price.

3)Bloomberg, mayor of NY city has shown himself to be gutless. He has failed to control the bunch of unwashed freaks that are messing up his city. This bunch, it seems to me, are a conglomeration of clueless individuals, many of them spouting anti US and anti capitalism statements. I suspect that behind them is a socialist or Communist sentiment which is spooky to say the least and perhaps even dangerous. My hope is that NY experience a particularly cold winter. That might chill their ardor.

4)I really am getting tired of these endless so called debates by the Republican candidates. They are doing great harm to each other and are solving nothing.

ELECTRIC SHAVERS AND POLITICS

I have used electric shavers for years. My previous one was a Remington ( Shaves closer than a blade or your money back )which never lived up to it's slogan. I had a five o'clock shadow right after shaving. Not very satisfactory. I never did get my money back.

My birthday benefactors, in a stroke of genius, got together and presented me with a new shaver, a Panasonic. What a difference ! This one really does shave closer than a blade. It looks quite complicated but by ignoring the thick instruction book I was able the charge the device up and shave. I was told that I must use it for a month to get used to it. My first shave was a revelation. I was used to it at once and got the closest trim of my life. Whatever it cost, it was worth every penny.

Now back to politics ( one of my favorite subjects ). I can hardly believe that I favor Herman Cain for president. Another black guy in the WH ? This one is different. Perry ( alas ) has faded and Romney ( I like him ) does not inspire. I hesitate to predict that Cain will be the candidate but if he is I will gladly vote for him. Meanwhile, Rubio continues to have a lock on the VP position and this will line him up as president the next time around.
