and the winner is

AND THE WINNER IS……..

The reppublicans have essentiially decided on their candidate for president and the democrats are in the battle to the finish. They may go to the convention and the super delegates. We may get tired of all the “blather” but aren’t we glad that we can do it!!. The new primary format does give the populace a chance to put in some input but the process should be changed so that it does not take so long and also some mechanism to be less expensive. Some of the money could be better spent. It appears that Obama has made great strides but the Clinton’s are very strong opponents. (I do not know where hilary gets her 35 years experience, unless she was co-president with Bill!) At least, we do not bomb and shoot our opponents as they did in Pakistan.

On c-span 2 today there was an interview with the writer who helped Benazir Bhutto write her book “reconciliation”, which has recently been published—in fact—just before she was killed. This was in the “afterwords” segment this week end on book tv. It is very interesting and is available on the internet as a podcast. The interviewer was Akbar Ahmed who is of pakistani desent and author of many articles and books on islam.

I have been negligent in posting to this blog and in fact had thought some of not continuing. We have been busy with health problems etc. mary was finally checked at the cyberknife facility in Wichita but she is not a candidate for that type of radiation.

I want to take this chance to wish all of you the very best wishes for 2008—and we will get through the elections!
