How many of you thought the thread title referred to the guy she's running against?

"Life's Been Good."
Joe, the guy who wails on the guitar, has a rep for being a bit fried--between alcohol and drugs, and by his own admission. I kinda thought he'd be a Tea Bag--I (living here in the Arizona Republic) kinda think the folks of the far right fit this description. It wouldn't have surprised me if Joe Walsh (the guy with the guitar) were one of 'em.
But not so, and he made an endorsement, fwiw.
Way to go, Joe! (the guy who killed on "Hotel California.")

Joe Walsh was my write-in for VP until Frank Zappa died.
Stupid cancer, please just settle on the folks like Lee Atwater and stop wrecking my political daydream tickets.

He's been a sporadic political donor, giving mostly to Democrats (Brad Sherman, Al Gore, the Democratic National Committee) though also to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California.
Rohrabacher is a right wing wack job who represents parts of Orange and LA counties, the wealthy parts.

Rohrabacher also introduced and shepherded to enactment a requirement for NASA to identify and characterize all of the potentially hazardous asteroids down to diameters of 140 meters by 2020. NASA will not accomplish this.
I am not sure if this is related to Joe's support of him. Killer asteroids are great motivators for some. Just ask the dinosaurs...
