Let's lose that B word...really.
But, other than that, sure she is the very thing the neocons need to have in power, and if elected she will have a one in three chance of being in power according to actuarial tables on life expectancy
i googled actuarial tables and cant find one that is really clear on this, but that seems right...i dont know it to be fact
RandyS- love.....she brought up the dog reference....unfortunate, really - everyone knows that the ursine family is far more deadly when crossed!!
Actuarial tables show that neither Barack nor McSame have an extended life expectancy - one has a history of smoking and the other melanoma. Here's another factor to consider in all of this - the stress of the job, being POTUS, is a 4 to 1 (at the minimum) life-year stressor. In other words, the stress of being the CEO of Democracy, Inc. ages you anywhere from 4 to 7 years for every year on the job. I'm not much of a betting person, but I'm willing to bet that McLame would make it MAYBE, to the 1st year - Obama - the full 8 years - with preventative measures and maybe a couple of months sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber to keep anything dire at bay.
You have to think, though....WHAT is anyone thinking if they cared to really LOOK at the whole picture here?
