In the March 6, 2008, edition of the San Diego Union Tribune newspaper, creative political cartoonist Steve Breen depicted a Campaign Bus, with Hillary Clinton standing in the stairwell and saying to Barack Obama, who is approaching, "Let's share the ticket! Of course I will sit at the front of the campaign bus."
The subsequent Letters to the Editor all struck a racist undertone, and claimed it to be an insult to both.
Dumb me. I thought this country was way past all of that. What a clever cartoon, Breen was saying, "Let's share the Democratic ticket. Of course I'll be the president and you'll be the vice-president." Isn't that what this race is all about?

Tiger has a Birdie, an Eagle, a Double-Eagle, an Ace, but is still looking for his first Hawk.
That belongs to Tripp Isenhour. And I bet you have never heard of him
until this week, when the story finally surfaced about this dead'eye Nationwide Pro Tour golfer who took aim at a noisy migratory Hawk who was interfering with the taping of his golf show, "Shoot Like A Pro."
The Hawk was originally 300 yards away, when Tripp first took aim and missed. You had to figure the bird was laughing in Hawk language when he flew up to a tree only 75 yards away, then bingo. It took a few shots, according to the official, before it was the big BINGO.
The Hawk was buried, with all honors, on the Grand Cypress Golf Club in Orlando, FL., but later was exhumed by the wildlife officials for an autopsy and DNA. The body has been preserved if needed for a trial. The charges aren't double-bogie, they carry a maximum penalty of 14 months in jail and $1,500 in fines.
You think it's that easy to hit a Hawk from 75 yards? Then you haven't played a lot of golf. But two things immediately come to mind. This hit and run took place on December 12th, that's 84 days ago, 84 days ago, and second where is C.S.I. Miami?
Normally, when you are taping a television show on a golf course, it is the noise of airplanes that cause all the sound trouble. A word to the wise, leave the big jets alone.
