There's a meme going around today at Kos, TPM and the LA Times raising the spector of an "unnatural aristocracy" should Sen. Hillary Clinton be elected to President for two terms. If that should happen, then a Bush or a Clinton would have been President for 28 years.
What strikes me as odd is why the hubbub now, with 10 of those 28 years the subject of future speculation? Where was the hand wringing all along about our existing "unnatural aristocracy"? After all, the Republicans haven't nominated a national ticket without a Bush or a Dole on board since 1972, 35 years ago.
Just because Bill Clinton had the good fortune to marry a formidable partner named Rodham, we're supposed to believe our unnatural aristocracy is suddenly a bipartisan problem?

I just wanted to show some love. I really appreciate your blog. You should post more often. I obviously don't post very often, but I wanted to let you know that I do read and enjoy your comments. I especially enjoyed the economic comparison between Democrats and Republicans. Thanks.
Thank you Ralph. I appreciate your comment. As you said, I don't post very often, and otherwise don't manage this blog as a business (which is obvious given that I haven't even bothered to post Google blog ads on the site). Still, it's great when someone stumbles onto this site, even if by accident, and leaves a hello. Each time we do that for each other personalizes the internet just that much more. Hope your day is going great Ralph, and I'll 'see' you later.
Kind Regards,
Richard
