A Blast from the Past
When I think of Hillary Clinton I reflect upon how she gave a few dollars to a wealthy supporter to invest in something akin to pork belly futures and saw her investment balloon into a small fortune. There was always the suspicion that the supporter had laundered a political donation by performing something called a straddle (in which he bet the future would go both up and down and kept the losing investment as his own with the winning one being Hillary's). I also think back fondly to her involvement in the shady real estate deal White Water. Then, of course, there was Vince Foster's body found in a park and the disappearance of papers from his White House office. Mrs. Clinton's life has truly been colorful. Now it appears that the spirit of Vince Foster rides again, although this time it's emails and not papers that have disappeared. Last week Hillary called a press conference and offered her explanation of what has become her email problem. Frankly, her explanation only made matters worse.
