The Hard Times of Political Storms ?

As a fictional Hoboclown detective,I've been known to pick up a few pennies on the sidewalk to save for a rainy day. Well, it seems to be raining pretty steadily in the USA Political Climate.The looming 'storms of contentious Presidential Campaigns' are continuously bombarding the rural and urban american and worldwide citizenry. Not much on using umbrellas to protect myself from the 'elements' (both natural and human-kind),I decided to duck into two digital caves of insight as I try to make it back to my humble abode in one Peace: http://www.crf-usa.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-26-1-plato-and-aristotle-on-tyranny-and-the-rule-of-law.html http://www.americanbar.org/advocacy/rule_of_law.html As with my collection of curbside pennies, you can save these two digital caves of insight to help you make it through the hard times of political storms.

Trumpity,Thump,Thump ?

The last few days of the US GOP Presidential campaigning has left this old hoboclown detective searching for a relevant meaning of the saying," Marching To The Beat of A Different Drummer". The "presumptive GOP presidential nominee,the US GOP senate majority leader,the US GOP Speaker of the House,two former US GOP Presidents,several US state senators, some state governors and a host of recent GOP Presidential candidates and past GOP presidential candidates have all appeared to be marching to their own individual beats. To try to understand this phenomenon,I searched for the best relevant writing on the matter and found it from the fellow Pennsylvania blog of "educator",Stephanie Ann, at the following site, http://worldturndupsidedown.blogspot.com/2012/01/marching-to-beat-of-different-drummer.html If everyone marches to a different drummer, is a unified cadence possible if everyone is out of step ? Does unity among countrymen require sacrifice and concessions ?

Comedy Host Calls Obama The N Word ?

In his heart he knows who he is and can take a good punch.After all,I'm sure Mr. Obama has been called worse ( after he became President).Some people use Poetic license and sometimes Comedic license to get a chuckle.If Wilson tried that on Redd Foxx, he'd get a 'Knuckle'.If he said that to my dad,he'd be blessed with two 'cracks' instead of one. As president, Obama is a father figure to many black and non-black youth.How many fathers would allow their son's to make a quip like Wilson's...bad taste, period ! In comedic diplomatic circles such slang is 'uncool'. Read the article for yourself, http://www.aol.com/article/2016/05/01/larry-wilmore-to-obama-yo-barry-you-did-it-my-n/21368595/
