Well, it’s a little more scenic than the pits of Zool if you have your own train. The Association of Private Railcar Owners excursion gets a ride through the Wind River Canyon. Twenty-One private cars!

monday night massacre?

the first presidential debate is approaching.  donald and hillary head to head for ninety minutes.  i have serious doubts as to whether hillary has what it takes to go ninety minutes with the donald.

in the best of times, hillary’s rhetorical skills are limited.  as a public speaker, she is shrill and stiff, barely able to deliver a prepared speech.  she does not handle questions well at all, much less hostile ones.  she gets flustered and “short citcuits.”  i think we can trust the donald to be hostile.

“in the best of times…”  alas, for hillary, these are not the best of times.  with each passing day, it becomes harder to conceal the fact that she is a fat, frail old woman with serious health problems.  four of her recent public appearances:

a) 9-11 morning – passed out, and her limp body was last seen being loaded into a black van.

b) 9-11 afternoon – faux hillary emerges from chelsea’s apartment, fifty pounds lighter without secret service and leaves in a black van.  PHONEY!

c) thursday speech in north carolina.  obviously video shopped.  PHONEY!

d) saturday night on plane, speaking with reporters.  slurred speech, difficulty keeping her eyes open.  drunk? drugged?  both?

and now, a fund raiser “postponed?”  no, as far as hillary’s performance goes. it’s not the best of times.

it seems team hillary is straining to get her patched up enough for even brief , low stress events.  can they fill her up with enough diazepam to keep her calm enough not to “short circuit” under ninety minutes of grilling?  …while also giving her enough amphetamines and cocaine to keep her awake and functioning for those same ninety minutes?  it will be interesting to see if they can do it.  i don’t think they can.  that much drugs going in opposite directions inside one body may kill her, or at least bring on another collapse a la 9-11.

likely outcomes in no particular order:

complete no-show.  with or without a bullshit excuse

collapse part way through

another “faux hillary”  substitution. hard to see how anybody would think it might work, it would have to be better than i think they are capable of to do a convincing ninety minute ad-lib substitution – especially when they know people will be watching for one.

something else even more bizarre  –  assassination attempt(s), false flag terror attack at the debate venue, other crazy shit.

stack plenty of popcorn.  i think it’s going to be interesting to watch.  keep some room deodorizer handy.  there may be a strong scent of bullish end product.

for those interested, one of robert a heinlein’s lesser known novels, DOUBLE STAR deals with the idea of a political body double.  worth a read if you can find it at the used book store.
