IT'S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY

Paul used to say, “It’s a long way to Tipperary” and “What’s the story Bob?”

Both of these fit the incipient (isn’t that a cute word?) stages of the 2012 “race” to the White House.

But the race is more like a slow-moving glacier or mudslide, upon which sit (among others) Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney.

Newt, Trump, and Huckabee have slid off.

For pundits and comics, however, it is Sarah Palin who is the main attraction (or distraction).

Then there are two other dark horses (or potential horses’ asses):

Jeb Bush and Rick Perry.

Both are cute and slimy (or slithery).

The 2012 Presidential election will probably see more money used to buy it than any other in American history.

May the best candidate win the election and not he or she who has spent the most money.

But this is America.

IT'S THE OIL STUPID!
