My friend Susan Capps reminded me on Facebook today that it is the Ides of March. Does that ring a bell? If you read "Julius Ceasar" in your sophomore English class, it should.
Ceasar is warned by a soothsayer on March 15th that he shouldn't be out and about. Ceasar goes to the Senate anyway, and his fellow senators stab him to death (over and over).
I don't know about you, but I think I may have stayed home that day. I'm just glad that I am not a politician who has to worry about these things. Of course, in today's world, I wouldn't be stabbed. However, every mistake that I made, both in the present times and in the past, would be dug up and thrown at me. I say, if you have unsavory incidents in the past, don't run for office!!! We don't want to see the tawdry details of your life march through the T.V. news, newspapers, and magazines. At least, I don't!
