Ms. Clinton vs. Barack Obama

Stumping in Washington state for last week’s primary Barack Obama drew 21,000 supporters at a speech in Seattle’s Key Arena. Meanwhile Ms. Clinton managed to attract a crowd of only 5,000 at that town’s Pier 30 Warehouse; statistics that have been common during Obama’s recent ascendency in the race for the Democrat nomination.

Another revealing news item deals with their comparative fundraising. Obama is reported to rake in multiple-millions of dollars in just hours of fundraising over the internet while Ms. Clinton is reported to be loaning her own campaign 5 million dollars while some of her campaign staff is now going unpaid.

Preceeding Sunday’s primary in Maine Obama had raised a reported $328,700 in that state alone while Clinton had managed a mere $76,400.

It seems to this novice old fogey in Ohio that, in this particular race, the fat lady may be tuning up.


Muslims continuing…

This recent story from Fox News:

“More Muslim Women Medics in UK Refusing to Follow Hygiene Rules”

“Muslim women working at UK medical facilities are increasingly refusing to comply with the basic hygiene standard of rolling up their sleeves when their (sic) washing hands, it was reported.

According to the UK’s Daily Telegraph, female workers are ignoring Britain’s Department of Health rules requiring medics to be ‘bare below the elbow’ because they consider showing any skin—outside the hands and face—immodest.

Admittedly, there is an ocean between me and the source of this news but it sure sounds like these jihad-prone fanatics prefer to march to the tunes of their clan’s modesty rules rather than obey the common sense science of good medical hygiene.

Why am I not surprised?
