The Wacky Trial Balloon Of The BreakIt seems a Xmas break never goes by without some bizarre campaign trial balloon. This year's comes out of, where else, NY: The Donald for NY GOV. Apparently, if he runs, he'll do so as a Republican. Folks will recall that Trump toyed with a presidential bid in 2000 as a Reform Party candidate. With "The Apprentice" starting to wane just a bit, politics just might be the perfect "next act" for America's number one ego maniac. Eliot Spitzer should be so lucky. 1 Comments |

Just what we need. Another Republican billionaire businessman in "public service" (i.e., "serve yourself"). Why don't we just end the whole idea of government altogether, privatize all gov't institutions and turn the whole shebang over to a loose consortium of business CEO's, investment bankers, stock manipulators, industrialists, church and charity phonies, hypocrite evangelists, journalist, er, I mean, propagandists for hire; sleazy thugs, freelance spooks and private security guards; but wait a second - isn't that what the press calls "The Republican Party?"
