Enough to gag a maggot

We here at the Manor have not paid close attention to the present presidential race. Since the race has come down to McCaine, Obama and Clinton we have come to the conclusion that choosing among the three is like trying to decide which of the Three Stooges was the smartest. Homer Simpson, the cartoon character, once stated of the Stooges, that "Moe is their leader." The question is, which one of the three candidates is Moe?
But occasionally the candidates say something either so stupid or clueless that we are forced to take our minds off our plans for the upcoming fox hunt.
A case in point is the latest Obama kefuffle:
Ben Smith's Blog - Politico.com. The odd thing is that we at the Manor are bitter about the government. And we own a gun or two, go to church and don't like illegal aliens. But we are bitter because our elected Overlords do not seem to be capable of minding their own damn business and keeping their nose out of ours. Any man or woman who expects the government to look after them, save them or care about them should probably move to the poor farm or Sweden. Sweden is a nice place -- if you don't live there.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton seems to feel that she has to show herself a "regular guy." She was co-opted on the bowling gag by Obambi, so she went to a bar in Crown Point, Indiana where she downed a Boilermaker consisting of a shot of Crown Royal and cheap beer. The thought of the image is comical. But no one has pointed out that Mrs. Clinton drank a shot of Canadian whisky and not bourbon or Jack Daniels. Using the "logic" of your average college professor one could say that in gulping Crown Royal instead of Maker's Mark Mrs. Clinton was professing her allegiance to the Canadian style of governance.
Before we here at the Manor are accused of hypocrisy, let it be known that our favored whiskey is Scotch. But we're not running for federal office and we're not trying to prove that we are "regular guys."
