There's Something About Hillary...

Any regular reader of this blog knows that I am no fan of Hillary Clinton. I find her to be too much of a cold and calculated politician, too entrenched in a broken system, and too polarizing a figure to be a good president. But what is it about her that brings out this level of wingnuttery? ROCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Police took into custody a man they say walked into Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire, and took several people hostage Friday. The man, Lee Eisenberg, claimed to have a bomb strapped to his chest, but it turned out to be road flares held with duct tape, police said. First of all, isn't it about time they started making road flares that look a bit less like sticks of dynamite? Sure, just a glimpse of anything that might look like a bomb strapped to you is going to cause panic. Bart Simpson did it once with hot dogs. Armour hot dogs. What kind of kid wears Armour hot dogs? But seriously, maybe they should start making dynamite that doesn't look like flares or hot dogs or anything else besides sticks of dynamite. Secondly, while this story is still too fresh to know whether this was politically motivated wingnuttery or just run of the mill crazy wingnuttery, I'm taking bets that this guy has a Free Republic account. And lastly, Taxi Driver is a great movie, but crazy people really shouldn't be allowed to see it anymore.
