A Match Made In Political Heaven
I don’t have a large number of readers to my blog, but those who do read it are ridiculously brilliant, rollickingly well-informed, ravenously curious, ravishingly attractive, and rakishly seductive. One of my typical readers sent me a funny blog post that the wingnut Lyndon LaRouche wrote today (November 12) titled, “Giuliani Was Set Up!” LaRouche claims Rudy is being set up to fail because of his dark past (mob ties, jailbird father, and Bernard Kerrick) by Michael Bloomberg’s people so the current NY mayor can swoop in at the last minute and seize the Republican nomination as a white knight—a short, Jewish knight, and white, no less.
That’s some conspiracy theory, and one that you won’t see or hear in the main-stream media. Only in the crazy blogsphere.
Here’s another much more probable and realistic conspiracy theory: I think there is a conspiracy alright, but it’s between Rudy and Hillary. I think they have secretly agreed that as soon as they’ve sealed their respective party’s nomination for president they will divorce their current spouses, get married, and then no matter who gets elected they’ll reign together as president. They both crave power enough and are morally corrupt enough to make this pact with the devil—or each other.
I also believe both candidates’ advisers are courting Steven Colbert to run on their tickets as VP. Unbeatable—two comedians on either ticket.
Of course, revealing these conspiracies is against my own best interests. As you know, I have thrown my hat in the ring to be Colbert’s VP candidate. When I announced, one of my brilliant readers asked if I would take contributions from drug and oil companies and lobbyists. I said, “Of course. I’ll take money from anyone. I’m corrupt and am the only candidate who will admit it. How’s that for honesty?”
I know all of you are praying (well, I don’t think my readers pray, so I should say that you’re hoping) the writer’s strike will be over soon and Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert will be back live. Then, we'll all know what’s going on in the world and won’t have to stoop to the blogsbphere for a smile.

Hillary and Rudy reigning together --what a fascinating concept!
Does Ferdinand and Isabella ring a bell?
Those Catholic Monarchs united Spain (the Reconquista) and expelled the Jews in 1492.
No more Bloomberg - no more Middle East problem -- fifty dollar a barrel oil - prosperity!
I think i'll head to Israel for the final stand with my landsmen.
