Screaming about things that don’t matter is just another way to lie.

Recently, Hillary mentioned that Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June while running for President as a way of demonstrating that campaigns often go into the summer.

The media, and some in the Obama campaign, have behaved as though she was caught burning a Kennedy doll inside a pentagram made of salt at midnight.

The TV news last night featured the story. When I checked Google news this morning, it was still the number one news item selected by Google. Hillary herself has been pushed to actually apologizing.

Give me a break!

It’s a historic fact, people! We can disagree about whether Hillary is doing herself or the country any good right now without this kind of hyperbole. Could somebody explain to me just what she said that was so wrong?

It makes me wonder why we take any time at all discussing it. Why am I writing about it right now, for example. At least, I can explain my own reasons. To me, it boils down to yet another way that we go to such great lengths to tell lies to ourselves and each other.

Ignoring the dead horse in the middle of the living room is a full time job these days. I would think that a record-setting earthquake that killed 60,000 people earlier this month might still be important enough to at least make the Google news front page. But it wasn’t. The fact that we seem to be killing our whole planet might catch people’s attention more than it does. But, “Noooooo!” We’ve got to agonize about whether Hillary slighted the sacred memory of a Kennedy.

 As Obama might say, “Get over it, sweetie!”
