It is getting to be time to write a political blog. I will first say that if I am elected I will not pose nursing my child on the cover of Time Magazine. Since I am not nor will not run for office this should not have come up anyway. Even the worst of things such as Citizens Aware can bring some good. Think of all the jobs created making and distributing all those attack ads. Think of the spins-offs such as a video game, Attack of the Killer Super PACs. 

You have to love presidential election years. I remember going to the local elementary school in Lubbock, Texas and voting for JFK. That was so long ago that Texas had a poll tax but being a first time voter I did not have to pay. Speaking of presidents I recommend the book, The President’s Club. It illustrates the complexities of the office and the relationships of the President and the living ex Presidents. Now who will win this year? I feel that there is a very good chance that Romney or Obama will carry the day. The polls are about even right now. 

Now for the other news. Sadly there is only one fluent speaker of the Kusda language left in the world. Gyani Maiya Sen of Nepal is the last. The language is related to no other in the world. Will there ever be a time when the last fluent English speaker is visited by journalists? Perhaps as we develop large thumbs and forget how to speak that day when  textists becomes our only means of communication is not so far off. Oh, and these was one article about creating a Mockingjay.  Finally on the island of Crete they found a bone of a pigmy wooly mammoth. It seems that big animals isolated on an island evolve into much smaller versions.
