Fine Tooth Comb Needed in Candidate Selection

When it looks like the cat hacked a hairball on your head, it is more than difficult to take seriously anything you might say. Add to that an ineffective Eastwood squint along with Frank Burns lips that make it look like the same cat pissed in your coffee, and it becomes impossible to get focused. Anyone vain enough to hide beneath an ungodly mass of stringy blond hair rather than become bald, tells the world, "It's all about me."

Donald Trump is really in the public relations business after stumbling through as many bankruptcies and divorces that no one seems to remember and probably shouldn't, but when you stick what little lips you have into politics it's deja vu all over again. Unlike most politicians, Trump's faux pas painted the front pages of the nation's newspapers and magazines as well as the six o'clock news. He's now joined the "birther" conspiracy populists as a presidential candidate. He wants to be the boss of me and you.

Now that he has thrown his hair-dresser into the ring it is official.

The sad thing about it, is the number of Americans stupid enough to think he has something to offer asides from a lousy hairdo and an inflated opinion of himself.

Even now, Trump's, convenient slide into politics has a distinct bovine odor that says watch your pocketbook. Trump has more financial skeletons in his closet than a haunted house,which should blink like neon--Warning! Don't expect him to be around that long because because he will not let the financial problems and marital issues be dragged through the public restroom--again.

In some ways, a known evil is better than the unknown except when the 'known' reveal themselves with blinding stupidity and swaggering incompetence. Then, anything coming from the mouth of a comb-over candidate, if not laughable is inane, immaterial and incompetent.

Nevertheless, through clever self-promotion and shrewd marketing, Donald Trump managed to make lemonade from the lemons of bad decisions and poor planning. Jumping in with the Tea Party crowd might be good for business, but like fish, political positions begin to stink in a short time as do their promoters.
