I'm a history buff, but not a history afficionado as some of my favorite writers (make that: commenters, not necessarily columnists) on this site are, but I had this early-on and continuing fascination with Rasputin. He *mesmerized* Nicholas & Alexandra. Is that's what's happening today? And who's doing the mesmerizing? Palin? McCain? The Messiah Obama? And who's the symbol for the ailing bleeder child--our country? Rhetorical questions.
BTW--I am soooooo tired of being told I'm brainwashed and not feminist for being an Obama supporter. I'd vote for Tina Fey over Palin, and if Hillary had run the winning campaign, I'd be in her corner...kinda like Mick was to Rocky. Some folks are tired of being denigrated by Obama-tons. I say there's just as much ugly talk being put toward anybody who thinks I drank the Kool-Aid (TM) and have an altar set up in my LR to worship The One!
Guess I'm mad tonight, hence the multiple postings.
