Democratic Debate

I'm sitting here in the relative comfort of my living room, waiting to finish Stephen King's 11/22/63, and wondering how he's going to make it all work out. It's pretty safe bet that Ms. Clinton wishes she could climb down through a time-trap door of her own into the recent past, sometime before the Benghazi Nazis committed mayhem, so she could save those four members of the diplomatic corps. Not only to save their lives, but to save her pride and dignity, and avoid the frying pan being swung madly at her coiffured bouffant by the highly partisan partisans running the McCarthyesque Congressional committee she's facing today. Back into the Future may have missed the boat on the Cubs, but the prequel, Blasting Back into the Past, is spot on. One Joe tells us he's not running, and on the flip side another Joe is drooling in anticipation as he awaits the arrival of Elia Kazan in the witness box.

Of course, this could turn out to be the best publicity she could ever hope to have. If the American people were wondering how she would perform under pressure and if she had the chops to demonstrate her detailed knowledge of foreign policy and the intimate workings of the military, they're getting their money's worth. And if anyone doubted that right-wing wackos were running amok in the halls of Congress, they now not only have Senator Cruz to fear, they also have these bozo fools to suffer. 

Remember the last time a Clinton was under the gun by these same wackos? It was all over some hanky-panky in the Oval Orifice. How times have changed. Or not. And then we had the Clarence Thomas hearings, followed by the Clarence Thomas rulings, which included pulling the rug out from under Al Gore, and handing the reins of government over to Junior, who led us into the worst foreign policy disaster in modern history. Which brings us full circle to Libya and these circus hearings. What comes around, goes around, bites you in the ass, and doesn't even leave a hickey. Stay tuned for Donald's take on this. But I forgot, he already thinks she was the worst Secretary of State in American history.

Republican debate 1

The supposedly biased "liberal" press machine was the target of several full-frontal attacks by Republican candidates for president as CNBC hosted the third Republican debate last night. Ted Cruz said that journalists had lobbed big, fat, softball questions to the Democratic candidates at their first debate, and had praised them as wise and handsome. I don't remember that happening, but Bernie Sanders may now be wondering whom Cruz thought was handsome and whom he thought was wise.

Marco Rubio claimed that the press had lauded Clinton for having a great week with her performances at the Democratic debate and in the dragons' den that was the congressional hearing on the tragedy in Benghazi, when in fact, he said, all she did was prove that she was a liar. Donald Trump denied having accused Mark Zuckerberg of being in the political pocket of Rubio, whom he immediately complimented, and the moderator backed down and apologized. Of course, she was right, and it is telling that she got her Trump quote off his own website, which the Don might want to review every once in a while.

But when it comes to picking the winner at the debate it was no contest: the French work week. Jeb Bush was making the point that Rubio has been noticeably absent for many Senate votes during the course of his campaign for president, and said that maybe Marco was treating his job as Senator from Florida as a French worker might, only showing up three days a week. First of all, my question is: who has landed all these cushy jobs in France, and where do I sign up? When I worked in Paris at Schlumberger, I showed upMonday to Friday, and so did everyone else.

But Bush's comment may finally bring focus to the fact that a shorter work week is a very good idea, and that recent research has shown that productivity goes up and employee morale soars when when everyone has more time for family, friends and fraternity. With the huge advances in technology we have made over the years, we don't need as much time to do the same tasks. Even Henry Ford realized that you can't overwork your workers, and that a decent work-life balance is a win-win for everyone (maybe I should say, win-win-win-win-ad infinitum).

I was also very happy to hear that Ted Cruz realizes he isn't someone I would want to go out and have a beer with ("I saw him the other day at a roadside bar, he was walking in, I was walking out, we went back inside, had a few drinks, and all we kept talking about was, glory days, glory days, glory days"). However, I probably would enjoy having a beer with any of the other candidates, as long as they were buying, so I could at least try to understand what makes them tick, and discover why they have such a skewed vision of reality.

A few final stage notes to the candidates. Jeb Bush, think about this: if we all worked a three-day week, there would be so much more time for Fantasy Football. Carly Fiorina: get a new hairdo. Marco Rubio: take a hint from another Frenchman, former President Nicolas Sarkozy, and find some lifts for your shoes. With your youthful looks, you could have been a senior in a high school debating the dress code. And for everyone, lay off the press and stopping shooting the messenger.
