What an interesting time in politics

What interesting times we live in!

The Republican debates are informative and lively, and apart from the presidential candidate emerging, I see some great possible cabinet appointments, such as Chris Christie for attorney general and Ben Carson for secretary of Health and Human Services. The Democrats suffer from a lean and aging bench after years of leftist lockstep political correctness, their heir apparent beset by scandal.

What are the odds that President Barack Obama will appoint his political hack, former Attorney General Eric Holder, to the U.S. Supreme Court? I’d bet the person he names will not be described as having a “brilliant” mind, as Justice Antonin Scalia had.
