"Geezervatives" ...

LPR recently saw a comment lauding MSNBC over Fox News because the median age of Fox News viewers was 68. Putting the implicit ageism aside, the observation prompted LPR to think of a neologism (unless someone has already thought of it): dictionary editors please take notice. One term for senior citizens is "geezers." Well then, let's call conservative seniors -- "geezervatives." By the way -- won't all the viewers younger than 68 eventually get older and possibly turn into geezervatives, themselves?

 

LPR Thanks ...

...the New York Post for publishing a letter from the LPR proprietor suggesting that perhaps the Clintons aren't pleased with the $75,000 given to the Clinton Foundation from George Stephanopoulos of ABC News. The donation is trifling against the donor's $105 million package with ABC News. With so many media people , with so many "progressives" in the One Percent, will they also vote Republican?)

 

LPR Also Thanks ...

...the Jewish Press for publishing a letter from the LPR proprietor criticizing the sharp price hike of kosher salami, and the failure (refusal?) of kosher food stores in the Riverdale section of the Bronx to accept EBT (food stamps) cards. Interestingly, New York's leftist Mayor Bill deBlasio hasn't taken notice.

After the letter was published in the Jewish Press, LPR began to wonder if the high price of kosher meat indicates that kosher meat dealers are atheists -- convinced there is no G-d, and that they will never have to account for putting the squeeze on consumers, especially elderly seniors. LPR doesn't expect Ms. Clinton to take notice of high food prices -- not when progressives want food prices to go higher to support increases in the minimum wage.

LPR Wonders ...

With the media so biased against conservatives, the election of conservatives to House and Senate must mean that the American people have minds of their own, notwithstanding media disparagement of the intelligence of the people.

Is Michelle Obama waiting until 2016 to announce that she is a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination? After all, what if President Obama determines that the only person standing between Hillary Rodham Clinton and the White House is...his wife?
