That a man as intellectually shallow as Clinton could become President in the first place was always the result of a convergence of depraved sponsorship with the fracturing of the electorate with a major percentage of the vote going to candidate H. Ross Perot.

William Jefferson Clinton was from the beginning understood by his patrons to be a conveniently malleable man-whore, whose wife clearly was always ready to steer toward the main chance.

Let’s remember, folks, that specimen of fecal matter rose to the top for the same reason that turds float in a toilet: low specific gravity.

All that vaunted intellect has never been used for any purpose but pimping, conjuring crooked deals, and charming his way out of cesspools of his own making.

The ascension of husband and wife team Clinton marks the onset of period of U.S. history that will be known as the Era of the Kleptocrat. Mr. Present Hussayn Nothing simply represents the logical progression of the series. He and his half-assed communist-fantasy masturbators are no more in charge of things than was President I-don’t-control-my-own-willie during his nominal tenure.

One thing that comes clear from reading history, both secular and Biblical – like it or not – there are forces at work in the world far beyond the rule of mortals. And grand cycles. While we can certainly learn from history, the main lessons that seem to emerge from its study are first that control is an illusion, and then that the most crucial thing we can hope for is learning to recognize the patterns.

Those who study magnetism have observed that when you pound lump of iron repeatedly, it gradually is transformed into a magnet. The theory is that each microscopic crystal making up the structure has its own magnetic field. In a lump of iron in which the microcrystals are randomly aligned, the aggregate is an imperceptibly low magnetic moment. Each blow momentarily frees each microcrystal and allows it progressively to align itself with the prevailing magnetic field.

There’s a metaphor in there, but it’s ambiguous, innit?
