Harry Reid and Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Saving the World--Stake Through the Heart?

"Buffy y the Vampire Slayer" was one of my favorite TV programs before I pretty much gave up TV "entertainment" programs. I always liked the epitaph on her tombstone at the end of the show's run on its original network (before Buffy was unwisely "resurrected" for another season): "She saved the world--a lot."

I knew Buff. Buffy--you might say--was a friend of mine (paraphrasing Lloyd Bentsen) on JFK and Dan Quayle). Harry Reid is no Buffy.

Yes, an item of news (highlighted on Drudge, with a link to a vido clip) on Thursday and Friday was Harry Reid claiming to have "saved" the world. Jarry Reid:: "But for me, there would have been a worldwide depression.". Harry Reid was talking about the FAILED "stimulus" bill (see my previous article on the jobs failure). Harry Reid obviously wants "credit" for the "stimulus", pork bill that everyone agrees--almost everyone but Reid and Pelosi--did little to help the economy and create jobs. Even President Obama threw his own "selling" of the bill under the bus by saying (recently, to the New York Times): There is no such thing as a shovel-ready job."

Yes, Harry Reid is the one who has called his opponent, Sharon Angle, "crazy". Nothing Sharon Angle has ever said has been even close to as crazy as this statement by Reid. Not only did Reid fail to "save the world", but he DID help put NEVADA in a "depression" (which he may not realize, since he hardly lives there, but is mainly a creature of Washington).

You might well ask: "Where is Buffy when you need her?" Obviously, someone needs to save the world, or at least Nevada and this country, by (figuratively) driving a stake into Harry Reid's heart. Luckily, we have Sharon Angle, and the voters of Nevada have the stake's. It is up to them to be heroes and heroines in November in Nevada. If they fail, they will have only themselves to blame. Their epitaph will read: "We failed to save the world, and Nevada, from Harry Reid, and we are sorry."
