Caroline Kennedy and The NY Senate Seat
I had initially thought to protest what seems to be a growing sentiment that Caroline Kennedy should be appointed to Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, should the latter be confirmed by the Senate. I would have protested on experience grounds, on the fact that she'd done little or nothing in her life worth note (expect, well, be a Kennedy), and that she Senate would be a better place with NO Kennedy's....but then I remembered that we just elected a President with no experience, and Caroline has no control over the family she's born into, so what the hell.....Caroline Kennedy for Senate!

Did you hit your head? This is nearly as absurd as the once-discussed appointment of Beau Biden to Joe B's Senate seat.
Apparently my sarcasm didn't convey. No, I haven't hit my head. This is stupidity at the level of travesty.
Okay, am I the only person on the planet who is left scratching his head over the universally-accepted "fact" that Hillary Clinton is well-qualified? Although you certainly haven't endorsed that assertion, the absence of any comment that the very seat this relative of experienced politicians (and not particularly good ones) is under consideration to fill is being left vacant by someone of just about the same level of experience leaves me to wonder if maybe you accept this widely-held view. There, I said it. I refuse to accept the "fact" that Hillary Clinton is qualified to be President, Vice President or Secretary of State for the United States of America. And I didn't see her as being any more qualified to be a Senator of a state, even if she had chosen to be a Senator of a state in which she had once lived. That the people of New York disagreed with me simply confirmed that I have not ever been nor will ever be a New Yorker. I won't even ever drive a New Yorker, assuming Chrysler lives long enough to sell me one but that's a different rant.
Can somebody tell me the difference between Caroline Kennedy and Paris Hilton?
Sure. One did a short stint in the movie business.
