The end of Cowboy Diplomacy and let the Pajama Party begin!

Yup, that is what the former First Lady and Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton declared would be the result on her being elected President of the United States (POTUS) during her time on The View today 10-15-2007.

She went on to describe how in her delusion… er… ummm… vision, we will link arms with Nations around the world.

Whaaaa… We are going to link arms like in some drug fueled Woodstock dance? We are going to dance through the daisies in the rain singing in perfect harmony! We can braid each other’s hair, burn bras and sleep together in a communal bed. Just a minute, let me wash my eyes out with muriatic acid.

Maybe candidate Clinton was thinking of something like A Chorus Line or The Rockettes. A whole group of doplomats (sic) doing the high step, linked arm in arm wearing garters and little maid outfits, feather boas and matching headdresses.

This is what I have come to call a “Pajama Party” idea. If you have participated in or heard about an adolescent female Pajama Party (also known as a “Slumber Party” or a “Sleepover”). At these events, the participants do a lot of giggling, tittering and imaginative talking. Long term plans are made with the football team captain or quarterback. The class president or some other admired “hunk” that they know (or don‘t know). Weddings are planned, children are named, the number of children are declared, a house with a white picket fence is described. It is lovely.

None of these Pajama Party fantasies come true. They can’t real life gets in the way of fantasies. Hunks have B.O. too, they get sick, they have a mind of their own. They don’t like blonds or brunettes or redheads. They don’t want to be married to their mother. They go bankrupt, lose their hair or find some 19 year-old who will do those kinds of things.

See, the way I view it, Candidate Clinton is doing the VERY same thing she accuses the current President Bush of doing in Iraq. She has a “perfect plan” and doesn’t realize that any (Pajama Party) plan sounds like it will work until “the boots hit the ground”. “Linking arms” is good talk on The View. It is so unrealistic in real life. Nations have their own best interests in their minds. The World is a competitive place. Candidate Clinton seems to not understand this. She seems to believe that she will be the next Princess Di. The only issue that is glaring to me is that Candidate Clinton actually wants to be Queen of the World (ala Leonardo in Titanic). She will say or sell out anyone or anything to be able to wave from the motorcade again.

I am concerned that she believes the story of Marie Antoinette saying, “Let them eat cake!” Candidate Clinton seems to believe that the Federal treasury has no limits. She seems to believe she will have unlimited access to the Federal checkbook. More Pajama Party thinking.

Now, back to the adolescent Slumber Party. One common theme is the desire to have their hunk ride in on a white horse and save them. What is the theme of most movies? A lone hero, or a group of heroes coming in to save the day. Think about ANY western, or any hero or super hero movie. I mean ANY movie. Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Speed, Rocky, Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop, Home Alone, Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon and even National Lampoon’s Vacation all have a hero who works pretty much alone, comes in to save the day. Even if he is a little bit of a bumbler.

I am sure that Candidate Clinton in her Pajama Party thinking believes that the world leaders will join together arm in arm to make her Queen of the world.

Reality says that it is the Cowboys that get things done. They don’t do it alone, but they lead the charge. Donald Trump, Patton, FRD, Eisenhower, Washington, Lincoln, GW Bush and Reagan all got things done.

Where is former President Clinton on this list? Well he is having his own Pajama Party with a 19 year-old... under the desk.


Below is some Cowboy Wisdom to consider:

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Don't never whittle towards you and never spit against the wind.

There's two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works.

Letting the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n putting it back in.

If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.

Be cautious in choosing a mate, don't go settlin' for one who can't open the gate.

A mountain lion felt so good after eating an entire bull he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him...........
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.

There are three kinds of cowboys: The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. And the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

Don't worry about bitin' off more'n you can chew; your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Keep skunks, lawyers, developers, and bankers at a distance.

Life is simpler when you plough around the stump.

Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.

Don't sell your mule to buy a plough.

Don't corner something meaner than you.

It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

Every trail has some puddles.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Don't interfere with something that ain't botherin' you none.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

It's better to be a has-been than a never-was.

Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly.

Making it in life is kind of like busting broncos. You're going to get thrown a lot. The simple secret is to keep getting back on.

There are more horses asses than horses.

Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.

Like a good cowboy, a good hat just gets better as it gets older.

When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

When you're throwing your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else.

Never get up before breakfast. If you have to get up before breakfast, eat breakfast first.

The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm. The colder it gets, the harder it is to swaller.

If it don't seem like it's worth the effort, it probably ain't.

Never follow good whiskey with water, unless you're out of good whiskey.

Genius has its limits. Stupidity knows no bounds.

Some men talk 'cause they got somethin' to say. Others talk 'cause they got to say somethin.

Never wrestle with a pig, You both get all dirty, and the pig likes it.

Careful is a naked man climbin' a bobwire fence.

If you can't sing -- dance.

Broke is what happens when a cowboy lets his yearnin's get ahead of his earnin's.

Generally, you ain't learnin' nothing when your mouth's a-jawin'.

A good horse never comes in a bad color.

Any cowboy can carry a tune. The trouble comes when he tries to unload it.

Behind every successful rancher is a wife who works in town.

You can't trust your dog to watch your food.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction.
