Word of the Day, with guest host Bernie Sanders

"In other words, the convention will be a contested contest." --The Bern

T&TM, a blog that started as a joke, is open for business today!

Truisms and Tautologies Monthly is a blog that features circular statements by people who make headlines. 

"In other words, the convention will be a contested contest." 

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders kicks off May 2015 with his prediction that the Democrats' nominee for POTUS will still be a jump ball at convention time. 

In fairness to Bernie, who's new at this, it seemed more like a brain cramp than a purposeful political pirouette. It wasn't some lap taken through the English language to arrive at where it started without conveying any information. 

Doesn't compare to Hillary's punchy and emphatic tautology of last October, "I never took a position on Keystone until I took a position on Keystone!"

She performs as hard as she can, putting verve and strong intention into her meaningless statements. Makes the Bern look like a guy who just failed to see the end of the sentence coming and tried to put a pillow in front of the bumper to prevent crashing into the period at the end.

Happy to get suggestions from my FB pals. We need some Republicans to balance the canoe. Pompous statements without any content, circular reasoning, statements of discovery that are painfully obvious, like "gravity is like a force of nature," all that stuff is welcome. Even better if it's so ridiculous that it's funny. 

Signing off for May 2016, with six months to go in the presidential election. I'll be watching.
