Mushroom Soup Monday

You aren't gonna see a whole lot o' new Mark on this page today as I have a full plate of things I have to do that are just barely more important than blogging for the masses.

A couple of Bernie Sanders supporters are deluging me with links to articles that insist he will be the nominee because Hillary Clinton will be indicted, tried and either executed or banished to the Phantom Zone for her e-mail handling. Having been told in the past that she was going to prison for Whitewater, going to prison for Filegate, going to prison for her role in Bill's cocaine smuggling ring, going to prison for Travelgate, going to prison for having Vince Foster murdered, going to prison for snatching the Lindbergh Baby and going to prison for a hundred other things that were absolutely certain but for the total lack of any crime or evidence, you can perhaps understand my skepticism.

Maybe someday they'll catch this woman in an actual violation of actual laws but I'm going to wait for that day before I think it's likely. The e-mail scandal seems like yet another nothingburger and not even that serious a matter if it weren't just a Sean Hannity fantasy.

I find myself lately with a lot of public issues feeling that people who say something like that is definite are wrong to think it's so definite. They might just be right just as I might be right if I predict the winner of the Indianapolis 500. But I'm off-base to think I know for sure.

Something I do know for sure: I have an 8:30 meeting so I'm outta here. Back soon, I hope.
