She’s already lived in the White House for eight years, and now she wants to go back.  Senator, Secretary of State, and now President?  Since her primary loss to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton has had her eyes on the big chair, and all the other stuff she’s done has simply been to add to her own resume.  Now she’s hoping that resume will be good enough to fight to the forefront of a crowded Democratic field and claim the right to take on all comers in the 2016 Presidential election.   Hillary Clinton will be announcing her 2016 Presidential campaign on Sunday.

There’s one big issue standing between Hillary and the presidency, and it’s not her general unpopularity among people who aren’t die-hard Democrats.  That issue is her age.  She’s old.  Not just old by normal standards, she’s ancient by political standards, particularly for a Presidential run.  She’s 67 right now, she’ll be 68 before the first primary, and by the time she gets to the next inauguration, win or lose, she’ll be 69.  That would make her the second-oldest President EVER, just behind Ronald Reagan.  And, unlike Reagan, she’s not exactly in great health; remember, she quit the Secretary of State position because the travel was too much for her.  If that job is too hard, she’s definitely not in Presidential shape, no matter her other qualifications.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
