Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton reminded me of why she would make so awful a President, as she spoke to the DNC Winter Meeting, and bloviated about the nonsensical topic of Energy Independence. For starters, she doesnt want to be a President. Instead, she seeks to channel Gary Gygax, and serve as Americas first woman Dungeon Master.
Her diatribe on Energy Independence revealed the inner robber baron hidden beneath the atonal, boring shrew. She doesnt seem concerned about our dependence on oil, but rather the ability of smart, innovative corporations to use that dependence to spin money. Money that she isnt currently riding herd on as a comptroller.
It seems that Exxon Mobil just spent 2006 earning the largest profit ever recorded by an American petroleum firm, and even had the audacity to do all this without Senator Clintons express written permission. Well she knows how to fix that in a jiffy! She intends to TAKE those profits and put them in some sort of policy wonk piggy bank. One located in The Land of Morder, where the shadows lie. Persumably, no one who isnt in a K-Street Lobbying Firm or related to the Clintons by blood will ever see that rakeoff again.
Hillary Clinton is overwhelmingly qualified to be America's First Woman Dungeon Master. According to Wikipedia (link referenced above):
The Dungeon Master (DM) presides over each D&D game session, serving as both storyteller and referee.
She would certainly be capable of doing that. She is already famous for her purloining of peoples FBI files and for making a fortune in the markets for cattle futures. And given her flimsy explanation for each of these debauches, her storytelling may need some work, but its not as if she considers the public trust as anything more important than a Fantasy Role Playing Game.
Another aspect of dungeon mastering is that the DM is not required to follow the rules per se. Indeed, he/she has the authority to modify or even remove rules that might not fit into his/her game. This license, however, comes with great responsibility.
Need I even comment? Im afraid that if I did, Id end up another discarded Non-Player Character like Ron Brown or Vincent Foster.
Personally, Im hoping that the Democratic Party will come to its senses and dispense with her as completely as it has with Howard Dean. The office by the river described so well, by Michael Crichton in his novel Rising Sun, would prove condign punishment for the blind and amoral ambition of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Having all the trappings, but none of the real mojo, would remind her each and every day that we all remain human. As such all of us are subject to the laws of physics, the laws of economics and, most importantly, the law of unintended consequence.
It would also repeal her delusions of grandeur. Perhaps strip her of her unearned hubris and imperial hauteur. She may want to play God all she wants, but in real life, even if youre the President, you cant also be the Dungeon Master. Because the real world has no such elected office. America would be better off, if Hillary Rodham Clintons power-lust and the economic fantasies that power it, would die in next years Democratic Primaries.
"Personally, Im hoping that the Democratic Party will come to its senses and dispense with her as completely as it has with Howard Dean."
I'm not - I hope they run her horse's ass as the nominee. Think of all the wonderful sound bites she's given us over the last 16 years.
LOL
Excellent! He rolled a 20 with this one, +2 Charisma points!
"I'm not - I hope they run her horse's ass as the nominee. Think of all the wonderful sound bites she's given us over the last 16 years."
And except for here, you will never get to hear any of them. The MSM will not allow you to.
who the hell was the imam who gave the closing prayer at the democratic winter meeting and prayed for the "end of the occupation."?? are they crazy??
I was think she would make a great Beholder or Dragon!
Al Gore: "To my left you'll recognize Gary Gygax, inventor of Dungeons & Dragons."
Gary Gygax: "Greetings! It's a" *rolls dice* "pleasure to meet you!"

If anyone does not think the WORLD does not have the Clintonian number, think again. Here is a great example of just nailing it. Watch Hitlery try to demonize the oil companies now, now that "she" finally figured out they are raping the public on gasoline prices, as some form of do-gooder for the public....I can hear Shrillery yelling now --- " we must TAX the big oil companies who are robbing our citizens.... "
We clearly note, as always, that the cry is FOR TAXATION (for the government coffers) and NOT returning the money to the public from which it came. Amazing how that works, ain't it ???
She has the look of the Balrog all over her, if you ask me.
From the 2005 Exxon annual report:
Excise taxes: $30.742 billion
Other taxes and duties: $41.554 billion
Income taxes: $23.302 billion
Total from just those three lines of taxes: $95.598 billion
vs
Net Income: $36.130 billion
So, in 2005 taxes were nearly three times the net profit. How much more does that Stalinist want?
He's trying not to remind us about his relatives: E-bola, E. Coli, etc.
Robber, yes.
Who is John Galt?
Simple - just 100% and then the Govt just comes in and nationalize & take everything from the owners and dont even give them spit in return.
have you forgotten how socialists/commies/liberals operate & think?
Always take things away from those making money using the common excuse of either:
a) for the safety of the children or
b) for the common good (* the common good is really defined as that which can get & keep us in power as long as possible).
c) some ill defined project which will have little or no real help to society but have a good sounding name and cause anyways.
Oh, I guess I was thinking of a different kind of dungeon mistress.
Apple Computer profits are obscene. They too should be confiscated. I'm sure Steve Jobs won't mind since his is a good liberal.
"I attack the darkness."
Let's play like they do . . .
Let's not just take their profits.
Let's take their profits
and back-date the take
so that we get their profits
for the last decade!
