We are All Sinners

I have no business giving advice to anyone or making predictions. My track record is pretty abysmal.

I'm also a sinner.

Years ago, when running for the Presidency, Jimmy Carter, the Governor of Georgia, a gentleman peanut farmer, Naval Academy graduate and nuclear engineer (there's a combination you don't hear often) showed the good judgment to submit to a Playboy interview.

Probably the most memorable part of the article, beside the full frontal view of the future president in a man thong, was his admission that he had  lusted in his heart and "commited adultery in my heart many times."

If you're unaware, the adultery thing is big. Big enough to have made it into the Top Ten Sins list.

Just imagine that if coveting your neighbor's wife made the list, just how badly adultery must trump coveting.

To this day, no other Presidential wannabe has submitted to a Playboy interview, not even Bill Clinton, of "boxers versus briefs" fame and other things..

The point of this is that in 10 presidential election cycles, I've only correctly picked the ultimate winner just 3 times. So you really don't want to follow my path.

I'm completely agnostic as to political party when it comes to national elections and have always voted along a "who has the best chance of losing?" platform.

I've even been known to vote for a third party candicate if it meant preserving my voting record.
