The Cubs and the Democrats…

…plumb wore me out on Tuesday. Go Cubs. (I’m not a huge baseball fan but every American boy of my era had to have a favorite team, and Chicago was the only place I lived growing up that had major league ball. I was a Mets fan in the early ‘60s when I lived in New York but that was mostly because Casey Stengel was manager. Otherwise it’s been the Cubs, goat and all.)

As to the D’s, well, maybe I’ve mentioned this before but I’m invoking the secret-ballot rule for this election. (OK, not this election really—this election is about school board members and maybe a mayor or whatever—but the one in 2016.)

But here’s one thing you can put in your book: I will not be voting for anybody named Bush or Clinton. Surely in a nation of more than 300 million people we can find somebody else. (I do like Bernie but I doubt he’s going to be nominated or, if he is, elected, which is probably just as well.)
