I’ve been watching all day long, I guess no one remembers that thirty-eight years ago today four students on the campus of Kent State University in Kent Ohio were killed and nine others wounded, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis. Some of the students shot were protesting the American invasion of Cambodia, the other students were merely walking nearby or observing the protest at a distance.
Gunned down by the National Guard.
What if you knew here and, found her dead on the ground?
How could you run when you know?
Guess it isn’t all that important to you “anti-war” dems.
What’s that old saw about those ignoring the lessons of the past?

I clicked through to the Vanity Fair article, which opened like this;

“After two terms of George W. Bush, which only seemed like a scarred eternity, American voters (so the scenario went) would be pining for Democratic recapture of the White House and a return to competency as a novel change of pace. Let the reclamation begin.”

So I’m thinking another lens to look through would be which of the candidates started their run thinking that a Democratic president would be a shoo-in. Just sayin’. Or would it be “shoe-on?”

There are loyalists among the Republicans. It is just that they party has shipped all the jobs to China and then laughed.
