By the way, if yon reader wants a greater detail on the Sunday political talk show than just myself, however wise you might deem me to be, this is the link for the weekly discussion For today’s show
And this is the link for the site in general, fifth in a recent compilation of conservative sites by Yahoo.
Now on to the Sunday topics.
Fox News Sunday had a feature of Victoria Kennedy, widow of Ted Kennedy. Seems a new institute has opened in his name, with a complete facsimile of the Senate as I saw on a tour given on a later show.
Victoria Kennedy
Hmmmmm. So it was built with Kennedy money I’m thinking but Ted Kennedy has no more right to be revered than do the other Kennedys besides John Kennedy and he too was a man of dubious morals.
I’m 65 and I lived through the assassination of JFK. I remember three days of nothing but coverage of the funeral on our old black and white TV. I remember the shock of the nation, my family, the horror that we could not believe would ever befall our President.
John F. Kennedy had women issues, I learned later in life but when he was killed he was my hero, his wife my heroine, my 14 year old self was devastated by the assassination.
And so this is why the Kennedy family rose to a national prominence they did not deserve. The nephews are all busy having parties and raping people, they run into trees as they play football on the ski slopes, they fly airplanes through fog for they are mighty and blessed and end up at the bottom of the ocean, they drive vehicles into the pond and leave the young ladies within to die by drowning.
JFK did face the Cuban Missile Crisis and he did stand firm. Do not ever take that away from him.
RFK, his brother and the country’s Attorney General, was okay. He too was assassinated and from then on it was if America bowed to a family of rich loser-burgers for the debt we owed them.
Now we have Ted Kennedy, arguably the worst and least-talented of the lot, immortalized by some kind of fake Senate but hey, I got that off my chest.
Carly Fiorina was on Fox News Sunday and a few other today. This former CEO of Hewlett-Packard is certainly keeping her face out there. While she’s likely not ready for the presidential nominee nod, she’s possibly a good VP pick. Keep an eye on her.
We had a good review of that Germanwings crash on Meet the Press. The latest news is that while it had been believed that the passengers likely didn’t know what was happening until shortly before the crash, the recorder reveals a captain desperately trying to break back into the cockpit and the passengers can be heard screaming in the background. Estimates are that they probably knew for eight agonizing minutes what was happening.
On This Week With George Stephanopoulos we had an interview with, of all people, former Mayor of Baltimore and 
Governor of Merryland, Martin O’Malley.
Lord I despise this man. He made Baltimore a mess, did worse for Merryland, and now we should make him President?
Scuttlebutt is that contenders against Hillary are beginning to pop up and O’Malley is one of them.
And guess what he said was one of the number one issues America is facing in the future?
CLIMATE CHANGE!!
He really said this!
I lay awake nights here this end of March 2015 when we haven’t had a normal temperature day in three months for the cold and shiver for the need to deal with climate change.
‘Heh.
Of course there was a lot of discussion about the Ted Cruz announced candidacy on all the political talk shows.
Not much of nothing on Face the Nation although John McCain made an appearance, surprise, surprise.
I give a quote on CNN as regards Ted Cruz to sum it up:
CNN: You may be popular in Texas, but not in the rest of the country. The White House isn’t in Texas, it’s in Washington
CRUZ: That’s part of the problem.

I do not respond to comments on my posts. I certainly have no problem with such commentary and, indeed, encourage it. But I’ve written my piece and I don’t want to argue it further.
Please feel free to email me at patfish1@aol.com if you want to send me a special comment or have any ideas or information you want to share.
NEXT : Might do some delving into the Lacey Lafferty gubernatorial race just for giggles and grins.
About that title: “variable” discussions. In what sense are Pat’s discussions “variable”? Are they shifting, inconsistent, volatile or unreliable? Could well be.
Or could it be that Pat means “various” discussions? In the sense that they are diverse or assorted.
Hard to know with Pat.
Denying obvious science such as the impact of adding to atmospheric CO2 is the reason I rarely vote republican anymore
