Heritage

My daddy was madly in love with my mother ... but his parents didn't approve of her because her heritage was part Native American. So they were forced to "elope" [to a town ten miles away, got married ... and immediately returned home to a big reception.] My parents told me I was part Native American ... so I know who I am ... and so I don't need to take a DNA test ... nor have I ever benefited from this heritage. -- paraphrased from Senator Pocahontas Warren ... it's her story and she's sticking to it ... again and again.

Firsts

If Hillary Clinton runs for the presidency, her strongest argument for winning is that it is time for the first woman president ... just like Barack Obama's advantage in his elections was that it was time for the first black in the White House. This "first" worked for him (much to the regret of many of his voters) and Hillary, in her high-hatted hubris, obviously thinks another first might work for her.

Of course, there are many other firsts that the American public could also be pining for ... the first Hispanic (Rubio, Cruz, Julian Castro?), the first black woman (Condoleezza Rice, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett ... oh, I forgot she already has been acting as president), the first Jew (Michael Bloomberg?),  the first Martian (James Carville?), the first faux Native-American woman (Elizabeth Warren?), the first Mormon (oops, that didn't work), the first cross-dresser, the first Communist (done that already ...). etc.

I know I am being silly again, but why would such "firsts" be a over-riding advantage for winning the presidential election? But then again why would making a YouTube-published sex tape be a prerequisite for becoming a major media personality (Paris Hilton)? I guess that, given our nation's mindset, these things go together ...

Vegetarian

Is the old Indian (Native American if you insist) word for "bad hunter."
