Screwed like a Housecat?

I have to admit, I never heard the title of this post until I read it last night, and I have no idea what it means excepting a literal interpretation (although I could understand it better if it was an alley cat given their yowling).  Lest I be accused of plagiarism like Melania Trump I must immediately attribute it to a Silverfiddle comment yesterday.

So, now that the cat is out of the bag I'll stop pussyfooting around and get down to it.

Should Bernie Sanders stage an Independent run? Or is he and the country best served by what SF described in that same comment as "kissing Hillary's ass"? (Now that is something that is guaranteed to ensure that I am suffering from nightmares and PESD well into 2017, that is Post-Election Stress Disorder, not to mention the overwhelming desire to pluck out my eyeballs with a spork).

Personally after the Tammanyesque shagging he received from the DNC I couldn't blame him one bit if he did.

So not only what do you think he should do, but what would you do if you were in his shoes? 

Here's a little theme music for the convention.

Going to Hill in a Handbag

but at least its a Ferragamo bag!

Well if you ask me anyone who will pay $800-3000 for a bag, or not to be sexist, a briefcase, is preeminently unqualified to be president, and did I mention stupid?

Hillary Clinton in an interview in Harper's Bazaar said:

My view was that I would carry it around only in spring, but it makes me so happy, I'm even now lugging it around in January. I mean, how can you be unhappy if you pick up a big pink bag? 

Out of touch with the American people I think, but that's me, the Democratic Party debate is over... did you watch it?  What did you think? 


Nothing surprising, overall I think O'Malley had the most, shall we call it "presidential" presence.

The most astonishing answer of the night was when Hillary Clinton was asked how her presidency wouldn't just be an Obama third term and replied,  and I'm paraphrasing here...

I have a vagina!

Seriously, her answer was "I'm a woman".

For those of you that missed the debate the following videos provide a concise musical summary of the two top democrat performances:

Hillary Clinton

Bernie Sanders

A quick review of poll data after the debate had Bernie Sanders the clear winner by 60 - 76%, scary, eh?

Time - Sanders 74%

Poll Daddy - Sanders 70%

Slate - Sanders 63%

The Street - Sanders  76%

Drudge - Even Drudge had Sanders emerging as the nights winner at 60%

These numbers were those within the first hour after the debate ended, and were simple who do you think won questions, it'll be curious to see what more rigorously scientific polling reveals.

Who do you think won?
