ANOTHER FACE OF THE PACIFIC
OR IS NEWT BEING A JERK?
One of the hot and trending topics of the day is that
failed Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is still getting
Secret Service protection. According to published records, that is at a cost of about $ 42,000 a day. $42 K a day to protect Gingrich?!!
The porcine and largely unpopular former Speaker of the House was never a serious candidate, other than in his own mind. His staff abandoned him. Voters rejected him. Party leaders despise him. Comics mock him. It seems the only thing he's qualified for is to be a stand in for the Pillsbury dough boy.
I have long suspected this whole candidacy farce is about feeding his considerable ego, trumping up his profile so he can earn bigger dollars as a lobbyist and "advisor" and to sell what ever book his swampy mind conjures.
I hope the GOP convention planners ice Gingrich. In the meantime taxpayers should demand this demagogue not only no longer get Secret Service protection, but pay back what his coverage has cost since he "suspended" his pathetic campaign. Can you say contemptible?
It is evident some of you didn't care much for the video of the Slime Eels posted yesterday.
They are oddly fascinating, but I was taken by surprise they are being harvested in the local sea bed.

Well for those of you, some who posted a reply and some who sent me an email, not so positive about those creatures,
here is a more tranquil short on the Pacific, just a few miles north.
See you down the trail.
