The Bernie Sander's Cocoon for A New Democratic Butterfly?

Yes. There are all kinds of species of creatures in the woods! Some evolve. Some just go through a " metamorphosis". That's just a big word for changing outward appearance and function. A frequently-cited example is the staged changes of the caterpillar into the beautiful butterfly. I've used my hoboclown detective magnifying glass to inspect many creatures in the wild. Currently, there's a lot of 'wildness and wild creatures' to gawk at in the USA 2016 political forests. I located one brilliant writer who shared his views of the emerging 'New Democratic Butterfly'. I perused his article and found a version of a political cocoon that operates like a 3-D printer changing what I term ' youthful social-mediants into Neo-Democratic Butterflies'. Check the insightful article out at the following site- http://thedailybanter.com/2016/02/how-bernie-sanders-is-laying-the-foundations-for-a-new-breed-of-democrat/

Are SCOTUS Nominees Presidential Clones ?

Fictional hoboclown detectives like me are creatively crafted ! We are mostly figments of imagination! For me, 'figments are made mostly of old cerebral notions, wildly colorful and romantic ideas and daring childhood fantasy'. On the other hand, US Supreme Court nominees are fashioned by many forces and factors, some human(e) and some happenstance. To date, none have been produced by 3-D printers. Also, it is highly doubtful that they are presidential clones! Some documented, analytical or "expert" witnesses (if you will) hashed out their take on the makings of US Supreme Court nominees. Read their interesting account at the following site, https://newrepublic.com/article/94516/nixons-court-kevin-mcmahon

The Real America ?

Lately,I've been runnin' here and there chasin' faux clowns who have been juggling hype enclosed in pseudo-american flags and brown paper bags. Seems like a lot of 'funny' money has been spent as well to goad, entertain and ring bells in contentious efforts to grab the brass ring of the spotlight. To what end? Only those jesters know their true intent! While the 'show' goes on, the real deal goes down in 'The Real America'.

Past Election Year US Supreme Court Appointees ?

"You can fool some of the people sometime..." or can you ? This ol' hoboclown detective knows that investigations sometimes take on lives of their own. They lead to where they lead...period. 'Lady History' knew about the past US Supreme Court Election year appointees but she was being mum about it. Yet, she became the 'Source' for the copyrighted report that follows at, http://www.vox.com/2016/2/15/10998836/supreme-court-nomination-election-year 'Nuff said !'

A "Clown" Was Appointed To The US Supreme Court ?

It's tough being a fictional hoboclown detective.Just when I was holding my head high in prospects of being the first clown to be nominated for the US Supreme Court, my investigation turned up a "clown" who beat me to the mark! The fact of the matter was that Richard Nixon was said to have appointed, "four supreme court justices in his first term,including: Warren Burger,Harry Blackmun, Justices Powell and Rehnquist ",according to Luis Arandia,Jr. in his article at https://learningconlaw.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/nominating-the-%E2%80%9Cclown%E2%80%9D-rehnquist-to-the-supreme-court/ Rehnquist allegedly caught Nixon's eye as Nixon referred to Rehnquist as,"The guy dressed like a clown" who went on to,"be Nixon's eight choice...most successful in changing the court's philosophy." As the saying goes,"Sometimes you just have to dress to impress."

Solutions ? Solutions? Solutions!

It's great fun being a fictional, comedic, hoboclown- detective sleuth! One squirrel in the woody hoods where I hang out told me that I, Flash Mc Cool, was just a "real, personified, imaginary oxymoron".I think he was calling me a 'high fallutin' idiot. He said I always wanted answers and solutions. "Solutions? Solutions? Solutions!" I have been cutting across a lot of political landscape lately and noticing a lot of thorny problems not being addressed by the 2016 presidential candidates, elected officials and the General Public. Today, my sleuthing led me to one clever, deep-pocketed, fellow who gave an interesting spin on the surging interests of the "Millenials" in one particular presidential candidate. Read about it for yourself at http://www.aol.com/article/2016/02/09/mark-cuban-heres-why-millennials-love-bernie-sanders/21310296/ The young, upstart"Millenials" not only ask the political candidates questions, they want 'Solutions? Solutions? Solutions!' Also, to add insult to injury, they want to so something about the thorny problems themselves using big 'Socio-entrepreneurial weed wackers!' Why these brash, bold,young,rebellious,'social-mediants' need to all be rounded up and Commended !

Freezing Kids Need Heroes Too

The hard part about looking for heroes is that they don't respond to Want Ads. 'Heroes or heroines just happen along'.Many times heroes are missing in action.Hoboclown detectives investigate and search for their whereabouts.I sifted thru a few leads to find some heroes: A cambridge dictionary definition of a hero or heroine, gave me one clue- " A hero/heroine is a person admired for bravery,great achievements or good qualities". A website, http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/heroism.html/ had some quotes about heroism. " My log book noted that a hero or heroine was needed to address the following crisis- http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20160207_Broken_boiler_freezes_out_kids_in_crisis.html Before they spring into action, sometimes heroes/heroines need inspiration,as captured in the following quotes: " Don't worry that children never listen to you;worry that they are always watching you" - Robert Fulghum,Author " It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men " -Frederick Douglass " Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see" -John F. Kennedy Are you heroic ?

Ted Cruz Wearing Two Watches?

I usually stumble upon things with my big bobo hoboclown detective shoes.This time I kicked a can and it hit a button, http://www.scoopnest.com/user/michaelkamon/681763601254871040 with a report about "Ted Cruz Wearing Two Watches ? " Why would a 2016 US Presidential candidate wear two watches ? Sounds like a two-timer to me but you didn't hear me say that.See for yourself what a two timer is at http://www.searchquotes.com/search/two_timer

What Would George Do ?

The news media announced today that Trump was "grounded by snow in New Hampshire". A little bit of snow should not keep the leader of the pack from being amongst friends. My latest query was,'What would George do ?' A little investigative snooping turned up a factual account of 'George' (a leader of men) not only taking on a little inclement weather but also going eye to eye with 'the enemy'. In all fairness to Mr. Trump,I (a rumpled, witless, old, hoboclown detective)wondered if any of the 2016 US Presidential candidates would do what 'George' did ? Decide for yourself!

That is the question !

A natural tendency of a hoboclown detective is to ponder the ponderings of other people. Today, "To be or not to be" (president of the United States).That is the question! My query led me to an illuminating website, http://www.famous-quotes.com/topic.php?tid=938 Various quotes addressed the 'question' at hand. I doubt that the right hand of a fictional hoboclown detective always knows what the left hand is doing and vice-versa. Nonetheless, I use both red-gloved hands to cheer the following quote by Ronald Reagan ( from the above website), "But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret".

Send In the Clowns Again ?

Hoboclown detectives sometimes dig through old files and archives in their quest for the facts. My search turned up an old amusing depiction of one 2016 US Presidential candidate. A familiar, yet peculiar likeness insulted my clown sensibilities. Check out the following link, http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/donald-trump-entering-2016-presidential-race-article-1.2259706 The fella in the New York Daily link had the nose right. The mouth was ok but the hair piece was a little off. My first gut reaction was to offer him 'an apprenticeship' but then I concluded that no self-respectin' clown would be fool enough to run for the US Presidency. We have too much FUN with our own pratfalls. Besides, we have billions of reasons to not run for public office much less, the white house! Yet, as the saying goes, "No fool-No FUN!"
