Mr. Clean - dead.

Mr. Clean (aka House Peters Jr.) died yesterday.

And have I seen headlines about it?

No.

And why haven't there been headlines about it?

Because. All the headlines say something like "Sarah Palin is a cunt" on them.

[Sidebar: sorry for the dirty language. My friend has a friend who's boyfriend is dating another kid's best friend's brother or something and he started making these t-shirts with that saying on them. He became slightly famous and a lot of people want one now. Incidentally he's from Philly.]

Politics make this country dirty. Seriously. I have my own views and they are far from most of my friends on Republican vs. Democrat, etc. Honestly, politics makes people so angry and opinionated. Sadly, sometimes it is the only time they ever get passionate about anything. That's why we have all these headlines. People obsess. Quite frankly, I'm tired of it. If/when I run for president, I'm going to state my position, then, I'm going to be honest about everything I've ever done and everywhere I've ever been. Then, I'm going to go meet people and hope that the media leaves me alone.

Now, Mr. Clean died yesterday. And everyone deserves to know it. Poor guy never played a leading role in his life, and many don't remember his parts in Lassie or Gunsmoke. Well, he was in them. And when he died he was 92 years old. Still married. To his original wife. With two kids, who somehow combined with other people to make 4 grandchildren. Good for you Mr. Clean. Good for you and your little rebel hoop earring.

Now, how about this. Each of the candidates should dress like Mr. Clean tonight at the debate. I mean, they should AT LEAST shave their heads and put in a little earring!

Now Mr. Clean may only look like a cartoon in this commercial, but remember, he was a real live person, which most housewives secretly wanted to bang.

Now, take a moment of silence before returning to the dirty, dirty world.
