First - head should be amended to "You Don't Look 87" - but what's a few years more or less in the 8th decade?
June 2016 and the world looks less appetizing than ever before. Social media is good and bad - but unfortunately the bad - instant spreading of misinformation (read:lies) - is very very bad.
I have great difficulty in understanding the ridiculous criticism of Hillary - mostly based on a vitriolic column by William Safire in the 1990's (NYTimes) and then carried forward (and embellished) with great glee over the years - way before her run for the presidency - by Republican/Conservative flacks.
The so-called "misdeeds" (proof please?) when performed by men are just accepted and life goes on.
(Like Colin Powell with his private e-mail server.)
And our namby-pamby media outlets who catapulted Trump to his standing by broadcasting his ridiculous speeches without a hint of questions/discussion by press. Media could learn a few things from UK interviewers who keep pressing when the responder evades, avoids an answer or changes the subject.
A question about Trump University - why is there no discussion about a Texas suit a few years ago that was ready to go to trial - brought by Texans bilked of mucho dinero by this so-called "learning institution"? Our excuse for a governor (Abbott) was Attorney General at the time and the case was dropped. Interesting that Trump contributed $35000 to Abbott's Governor campaign........
And "Bernie" who refuses to give in; he enjoyed the adulation and his moment in the sun promising undeliverable goodies. Oh yes - we can get all the good stuff if we're willing to pay 50% or higher taxes on everything. There's no pie in the sky folks! (Back in the 1930's playing in the schoolyard, in The Bronx, NYC, we would call him a "sore loser".)
And what about ridiculous Paul Ryan who doesn't have the guts to even allow a vote (which could easily be defeated) on revised gun laws and "solves" his problems by closing up shop and sending all the Reps. home. Oh yes - his future plans for health - Oy! (Medicare ok for present users since his mom has enjoyed its benefits!)
What's good about Social Media? I really like seeing photos and hearing nice things about my close friends and relatives on Facebook. And an occasional Twitter from people I respect adds a bit of seasoning to my life.
Go Hillary!!!
