TERRY MOSHER

This is just a thought to make you think over the weekend. Don’t take this too seriously. It’s just me going to the Boneyard to get rid of irreverent things swirling around in my mind.

Have you ever considered that Putin may be the Anti-Christ? I have. Just now. I was reading Newsweek story on him in which it reports on a German documentary that says Putin, among other things, used to beat his now-divorced wife on a regular basis.

The documentary also claims that Putin has had a face lift, that he is power hungry and that he is worth – get this ‑ $200 billion, which would make him the richest man on Earth by far.

When I put what the documentary says about him with his recent actions in Crimea and in eastern Ukraine and the continuing reports about Russian bombers testing defense systems in Europe, Great Britain and the U.S., my concern has gone from holy cow he wants to start a world war to hey, wait a minute, maybe he is the long-awaited Anti-Christ.

If he is the Anti-Christ we are indeed closer to the end than we want.  If he is not the Anti-Christ, he certainly must be blood-related. The guy is not only a serious jerk, but a very dangerous jerk.

On a common note, the Middle East is muddled situation that has enemies becoming friends and friends becoming enemies, tribes battling each other and others, and the U.S. getting closer to putting some real boots back on the ground.

My opinion: No matter what we do, we will lose. It would be much better for us and the world if we could magically just erase the whole mess and start over with a blank sheet of paper.

You know what I would like to have happen. Take all the B-String presidential pretenders – sort of like Obama calling ISIS the junior varsity – and have them battle in the consolation bracket to see who comes in third.

By my count there are 24 pretenders. It makes for an awkward bracket, but it could be figured out. In my rules there would be a series of debates in front of panel of eight judges made up of four from Fox Nets and Four from MSNBC and the more ridiculous of claims by a participant would help move him (or her) forward in the bracket.

I would place odds on each participant with Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum likely to be the early favorites.  The winner would be the main attraction in at a freak show for a traveling carnival for one long and very hot summer.

In the event of a tie, Putin would decide who survives (whatever that means in his mind).

Be well pal.

Be careful out there.

Have a great day.

You are loved.
