Secret Service..really

So some secret service officers (on the presidential detail) picked up a (perfectly legal in Columbia) prostitute; had her up to the room for a good time (which according to hotel staff included whiskey and a white powder) and then tried to get away with only paying $30.

Here's my main question. Is there not some kind of intelligence test required to become a secret service officer?? Do you not need at least an ounce of a brain cell to become part of the presidential detail? Did your tiny little brain (which has obviously temporarily relocated south of the navel) not remember WHO you worked for?

Now I am not a hug fan of the current administration, yet I feel this secret service scandal, coming this close to an election is just rotten. I want the election to be about what Obama has or hasn't accomplished against the goals, plans and accomplishment of his opponent (read Romney); not about mistakes his staff have made that is now center of the media spotlight.

So hey SECRET SERVICE, lets remember the first half of your name, and not do anything in SECRET that might compromise your SERVICE. Or put more simply...you have a brain...USE IT!

A Candidate Emerges

Ok, dumb title for this blog today, but it was all I could come up with. Well, Santorum has dropped out leaving basically Mitt and Newt...or more basically Mitt to take on the President come fall. And I read today that the latest Reuters (sp) poll shows Obama's lead down to 4%, and any polling expert will tell you the margin of error is around 10%, so there is a pretty fair chance that Mitt Romney will be able to do what all the Republicans hope he can-- Make Obama a one & Done president.

Now lets hope for a clean fight....Ok stop laughing and get ready to vote.
