It's 3 A.M.
Do you know where your campaign is?

Sorry, no real good breaks to bring over part of the article. At least w/o bringing the whole thing over to keep the points and the jokes in context. Good short read though and carries the RS seal of approval. 
 
"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

Who do you want answering the 3 A.M. call? A tough, experienced, battle-hardened president like President Rodham Clinton, who landed by plane during a nuclear strike on the Balkans in the mid-Nineties yet still managed to have a smile and personalized greeting for each of the Fourth Graders there to greet her with radioactive floral bouquets?
:lmao:

there is something especially clintonian about the bonsia prevarication;  it isn't simply that she lied, it's that she told a freaking gully washer of a lie, when perhaps a little exaggeration would have done nicely. 

"when we flew into bosnia, the secret service was very concerned because there were reportedly snipers in the area", vs. "we were pinned down by sniper fire, and chelsea had to kill two of them with her bare hands before we could make our escape".
