It's...I have been reading "The Town." It's gotten a lot of press since it is about the press. Specifically the press covering Washington. It gives me perspective on Cruz and Rubio. Portman...is not relevant.<br />Cruz and Rubio are running for President by following the Obama playbook. Or a variation thereof. They are appealing to a base of people who listen to and enjoy Rush and Hannity and Glenn Beck. <br />These people believe that Washington is a den of profit, hungry vipers who stay in Washington to get rich.<br />And Cruz and Rubio are right.<br />And they will also stay in Washington. Or at least benefit from the lobbying media complex that is centered on the East Coast.<br /><br />Still...I'm glad I'm not in Russia. That is one giant bad neighborhood.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333510249276382724noreply@blogger.com
