And then they were six..

 Although I don't understand much, I like to watch american sports for their final minutes fights. So I watched the republican debate. Even more to my liking as the punches do not end with blood but laughs. You see Santorum bragging  he is the one that won in tough conditions (but omitting his loss in his last election). Michelle, who  thinks she can retain the magic formula  of the lost Cain by repeating  three times short words, Paul who's position is to negate every policy enacted in the last 100 years, Mitt, the rich frugal (cheap) guy, who would bet  an amount beyond normal people's reach (on an editorial change!), Newt who  is ready to get a second phd by rewriting the history of his own presidency and Perry who can be forgotten (he had trouble with two and three again) ....Saturday Night really Live .....

Keeping in touch with CULTURE

 I bought only  two books this year.To keep up with the chattering intellectuals. Conversations with Einstein is about improving memory. Read the first chapter or so. Took the book with me on a trip and forgot at the hotel.
Thinking Fast and Slow is thick and I am advancing slowly (very slow of course).
 Prefer to spend my time on the Wii Super Mario my daughter bought for herself. Cannot boast around too much about this one as it has been around for some time. And I am not very good at it anyways.

Entertaining Gingrich

One of the few lines I still remember from my teenage readings  ...What does a woman expect from a man? To be entertaining.
Wonder why Gingrich had so many lady troubles....  He might not be  not a deep thinker but he  is a thinker nonetheless and he is always entertaining with new approaches to ideas.  A sophist one could say. Non stop spitting new explanations... Some researchers cared to go back to his PhD thesis. What could be more spectacular than finding positive policies in one of the most crude colonial experiences. Definitely entertaining....
After the intellectual Obama, the descendant of Mau Mau fighters, why not a president with a PhD..... in colonialism...
