DISQUS

Bang the Drum: Democratic Primary: This is Survivor, not Deal or No Deal

    You're crackin' me up, Karoli.
    Hillary and her nukes, though.
    As the Young and Barefoot neighbors of my rural North Carolina childhood used to say in the most quietly persuasive Honeyhill Road way, "That ain't funny."
    When a candidate's, er, appeal to potential electorate goes that far and frightens our allies, the "withdraw" words do come sneaking into my mind.
    I want my grandchildren to play Survivor Earth, and their grandchildren.
    Yes, that Slate guy needs his erasers cleaned.

    Hi George,

    I do, too. Clinton's comment about 'obliterating' scared me more than almost anything I've heard in the last 8 years.

    It's that impulsive 'win at all costs' attitude that turned me off to begin with. Give me someone with the temperament to handle pressure without blowing up (literally), please.
