Etc.

Since this year's election is being run by people who own and control the two major parties, the election will not be important historically.

There are many other elections more important.

Since Mitt was never anybody to make waves, it didn't matter what school he went to whether BYU or the Ivy League.

He STILL is afraid to make waves. Just like Obama.

Politicians and school administrators better hope and pray lying is a constitutional right. Otherwise, they are going to be shit out of luck.

I am being facetious. Seriously, thanks to a Bush era law called Stolen Valor Act of 2005, making false claims about war heroism resulting of being awarded a medal or medals is a crime.

It'll be interesting to see how the high court rules.

In case you didn't know, Hitler had a love child, but the kid has long since died and didn't write a tell-all book.

If true, the affair with the mother happened long before Hitler became (in)famous:

There he met Miss Lobjoie, who later told their son: "One day I was cutting hay with other women, when we saw a German soldier on the other side of the street.

"He had a sketch pad and seemed to be drawing. All the women found this interesting, and were curious to know what he was drawing.

"I was designated to approach him."

The pair started a brief relationship, which resulted in the birth of Jean-Marie, who was born in March 1918 after being conceived during a 'tipsy' evening in June 1917.

Who in his or her right mind would train these days for a career lasting only two or three years and then be blackballed forever in trying to get a similar job elsewhere? Who would train for an occupation that is being constantly trashed by the media, by politicians, and by self-serving "reformers"?

Rose Cliver, 109, one of the last survivors of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, has died.

Rose Cliver was 3 years old on April 18, 1906, when the quake and resulting fire killed more than 1,000 people and ruined more than 28,000 buildings. When she died Saturday at a residential care home in Santa Rosa, she was 109.

Cliver attended an annual commemoration of the disaster in 2009, and "enjoyed her 15 minutes of fame," said her son, Don Cliver of Santa Rosa. She told The Chronicle that day that she and her family, who lived in Bernal Heights, had climbed Bernal Hill after the quake and "watched San Francisco burn."

Don Cliver said his mother wasn't supposed to live long after she was born premature, but was the picture of health thereafter. One of 13 siblings, she lived an ordinary life - marriage, homemaking, two children of her own - and enjoyed traveling and quarter slot machines in her later years.
