I couldn’t think of a greeting.
That picture saved me a lot of trouble. I don’t think that Corgi is saying hello. By the looks of his face, I’d say he’s pledging allegiance to Trump or something.
But he’s a dog, so all is forgiven.
US Presidential elections take place within a month, and in case you didn’t know, here’s how they work:•The Twenty-Second amendment disallows any President to rule for more than two terms, (Buh bye, Obama)•Candidates primarily run through the Democratic Partyand the Republican Party. They can also run independently, but that doesn’t work out a lot for them.•There have been 43 Presidents; 15 Democrats and 18 Republicans. But 44 terms, ’cause Grover Cleveland was President twice, non consecutively.• The election campaign for the 45th Presidential office features Hillary Clinton as the Democrat front runner, closely followed by Bernie Sanders. The Republican front runners include Jeb Bush and Donald Trump.
Now, about Donald Trump. Without him, the US Presidential race wouldn’t be nearly as funny. He’s trying to get famous, by making ridiculous statements. Remember, there’s no good popular or bad popular. He is the most popular Republican (47% support according to most opinion polls). No kidding. He’s racist and a (terrible) liar. Still, he was doing fine up until day before yesterday, when he started taking jibes at religion. Big stupid no no in any election campaign book.
Now, why am I interested in US current affairs more than Indian ones? Tune into any Indian TV channel at any time of the day to find out.
Emails are supposed to be informative, aren’t they? It’s a natural email instinct. I went overboard with that. Learning more stuff never did any harm. Or maybe it did a little harm. Knowledge is subjective, but never bad.
Enough for this week, matey.
Tis, mate, was the Weekly Email Blast, email 38. Happy Weekend!
