Continuing our unintended series of "Why Ex-Presidents Should Just Shut Up", Bill Clinton has thrust himself back into the news this week by insisting that the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" is back in action. For those with short memories or young lives, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (let's call it the VRWC for short) is a non-existent organized attack on Bill Clinton that then-first lady Hillary Clinton made up as an excuse for the negative publicity her husband received for seducing and carrying on an affair with a 22 year old girl and then lying about it on live TV.

Back in the day, John McCain was the darling of the national media. The main stream news-types wrote no end of stories, lauding McCain as a “maverick” because he broke with his party on a number of issues. The media mainly loved writing these stories because they made President Bush look like a bad leader.
McCain has long since fallen out of favor with the media when he challenged the Wise and Benevolent Obama for the presidency, to which Obama clearly was entitled without the annoyance of a challenger. The “maverick” was suddenly the old, bedraggled, racist conservative

The Birth Certificate

Apparently, my “What If?" scenario a few weeks back has perked up a few ears. It turns out that it isn’t just the right-wing extremist conspiracy-theory nut jobs (RWECTNJs) who believe that there may be something to the “Barack Obama was not born in the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as president” theory floating around.
I did some ‘research’ and found this website devoted to stories about the missing birth certificate. What it lacks in credibility (they sell “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” bumper stickers and yard signs), they make

What If?
July 7th, 2009 by Ronald A. RoweThis week, just for fun, let us consider a “What If?” scenario. What if the right-wing extremist conspiracy-theory nut jobs (RWECTNJs) are right about President Obama’s birth certificate? I know, I know. These are the same tinfoil hat wearers who argue that the moon landing was faked and the government is holding bigfoot’s skeleton next to the bodies of the Roswell aliens. But for the sake of this exercise, just go with me.
In case you tune out the rumblings of the RWECTNJs, there has been a constant stream of rumor, conjecture, and innuendo that perhaps The

South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford admitted this week that he has been carrying on an extramarital affair. That was the second most shocking thing that he admitted, the first being that he ditched the responsibilities of his office and his family to spend a week with his floozy... ahem, mistress in South America.
Sanford, the Chief Executive Officer of the proud state of South Carolina (I believe their state motto is: The War isn't over; we can still win this thing) ran away from home for a week without telling anyone. His office came up with the brilliant cover
