That Odd Fox News Story

 There was a story up on Fox today....suggesting that both Al Gore and Hillary Clinton have been contacted by the DNC.....suggesting that they should run.

BS factor?  I'd give it a '6' out of ten.

Issues?

1.  Al Gore?  He turns 75 at the end of the month....he'd be 77 in 2025.  My guess is that he'd have a laugh and then ask why they didn't come to him in 2020?

2.  Clinton?  In October of this year....she turns 76.  Eight years ago, she already had health issues and I would imagine she has added onto them now.

3.  What's going on?  I think the Party would prefer someone else to go into 2024....other than Joe Biden.  I also think that Harris and Pete Buttigieg are now discounted out.  I might suggest that they done the numbers on Governor Newsom and found that he hasn't much of a chance.

4.  Who is left?  AOC....she would be 35 at the end of 2024, and has national attention.  Would the Party be happy with that?  No.

5.  So this whole thing is about a choice.....go with Joe Biden again, or have AOC arrive as a contender?  Yeah....that's my guess.

It's funny in a way....there's not a lot of 4-star characters to replace Joe Biden.

You Remember Bad Fashion

 

Someone put up this catalog picture, from Pennys, mid-1970s.

At some point, there in this period....my Mom went and bought me a spring-suit, with the pants style you see here (maybe not quiet as bad).

I probably wore the suit no more than four times ever.  

It's just a lot of bad fashion sense in this 1970s period.  Flashy colors, mismatching pants with the jacket.

In high school, we had some teacher who had pants like this....that he'd wear once a month.
