I don't lack for topics to write about, I actually have too many. Yet I feel one needs to write and keep a thematic flow. Today, I'll break that rule. I wasn't even aware that I had built a box and joyfully stepped into it.

I'm going to briefly (I hope) write on some topics in this and following posts:

• Politics: in consideration of campaign finance, should the New York Times's relentless pro-Hillary Clinton slant be viewed as a campaign contribution? I'll include Time Magazine and the Washington Post in this collective.

I am always amused by how people in the media are always so certain they know what is best for the American people. They suffer from chronic smartest people in the room syndrome.

If these people say that the years Hillary Clinton spent as First Lady qualify her as co-President and is her political experience, then she's to blame for all the misdeeds and scandals of the Clinton Administration as well. Shouldn't she have been impeached too?

By the way, what are her legislative achievements as Senator of New York? Oh that's right, she thinks that illegal aliens should get driver's licenses. It's not like people use a driver's license as a form of ID to ah, let's see, ah, vote - right? US Citizenship isn't earned or a privilege anymore. Is this an Open Borders Society?

Todays politicians are not just treasonous and they are not just unpatriotic. Their contempt for the American people is so deep that they think nothing of disenfranchising people who have died for the right to vote. Why is the situation in this country such that US Citizens are put over a rack of laws to abide by, but it is a free-for-all for others?

Clean house, I say, clean house. Let us stop voting for those that have such contempt for us. Try a new method of voting: just vote for the new guy. Rarely, if ever, re-elect anyone.

If people want to vote in someone as president who is famous for being famous or "smart", why not at least pick an attractive and likable individual? That would make Senators Obama and former Senator Edwards a more attractive pair to vote for.

Last, but not least, the writers of the New York Times do not understand the people they write about. This is true of articles (the few that exist), which cover black American women. I often feel as though they are writing about an alien species, which I feel is done on purpose.

I don't care if they claim that 99.9% of black American women love dem Clintons.

I am one of a handful that ain't voting for her.
