Well it’s about time. Fred Dalton Thompson (I just like the name ‘Dalton’, so I threw it in there) finally announced his candidacy for President of the good ol’ USA yesterday via a video posted on his web site. Now all the political “analysts” can spend the next week debating whether he should have entered earlier and what effect this late entry will have on fund raising and is he a viable candidate and can he beat Hillary and Rudolph and blah, blah, blah. It will probably be a mini version of the endless mind-numbing non-stop inescapable analysis we were force fed through during the OJ trial. It’s a wonder more people didn’t stick a collective revolver in their mouths back then. As the Brits would say “it was daunting and dreadful”.

Yea, he’s late getting in, but a week in politics is a lifetime. So I won’t bore you with analysis. Let’s just sit back and watch the actor do what actors do. I’ll leave you with this. This guy has stage presence out the wazoo. If the public takes him seriously and he remembers to zip his fly 90% of the time, he’ll be fine.
