Primary Brew

Every witches brew calls for Eye of Newt.

My brother, Karl, has always had a way with words (and with drawings, for that matter).  Yesterday, he dropped me a short e-mail that I immediately wished I’d written.  So, with his permission, I’ll “blog” it…

Eye of NewtEvery witches brew calls for Eye of Newt.  Seems you can't get that out of an evil stew.  But, today Dick Perry pulled out of the "race".  Meanwhile, the Republican primary in Iowa was re-evaluated.  Turns out great chunks of votes were lost or misplaced or something, and according to the Republican party they'll probably never be found.  Oh well.   To quote the devil in Steven King's movie "Needful Things", - "These things happen."

But they did decide that Mutt Romney did not win after all.  It was The Santorum.  No mention was made of Rep. Paul, who was polling way out in first place days before the election in Iowa took place.  Who knows, he may have done better too, if the election had been conducted in a professional, honest manner.

But honesty is never stewed in the same brew with Eye of Newt.
