Caroline Kennedy submitted her Christmas letter to Santa this week. Oops, it didn't go to Santa, it went to visually disadvantaged Governor David Patterson of New York. Last week he was blind, but that was before Saturday Night Live pointed it out so vividly that even he could notice. One wonders whether Ms Kennedy offered her resume in a braille version so the Governor could quickly scan the essential qualifications to become one of the 100 most powerful people in America.
My first thought was, does she even live in New York? I quickly dismissed that as being a foolish query. It made no difference with Hillary Clinton, and it shouldn't apply now. After all, Caroline IS a Kennedy. She's niece to Uncle Ted, the patron saint of submerged automobiles. Her other uncle, Bobbie was senator from NY and her father was a president, renowned for giving us the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis and his most long lasting legacy, the Vietnam War. If relationships mean anything, she must be qualified.
Stylishly Slim Resumes Now Demanded
Why, take a look. She's had a job where she worked three days a week! And, she held it for 22 consecutive months! That's more work experience than President-Elect Obama.
Is it just me, or is the governance of this country looking more and more like aristocracy and less and less like the voice of the people? Or is it simply that the people have gotten so celebrity-indoctrinated that they demand to be ruled by such an aristocracy?
Screw the cake, I want to be governed by Marie Antoinette.

We tell our children, "Anyone can be the President". Maybe that was a mistake. Excellent post, as usual!
Does Caroline ever hang with Bono?
