Jack Kelly of RealClearPolitics.Com made reference to “Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin” in his column today. It’s a Biblical allusion that will leave some people scratching their heads. It’s a reference to the first time somebody saw “the handwriting on the wall.”

“Why Should Hillary Drop Out Now?
By Jack Kelly
RealClearPolitics.com
Syndicated columnist Robert Novak and Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter have written columns this week urging Sen. Hillary Clinton to drop out of the Democratic race for president now, before the primaries March 4 in Ohio and Texas.

This is ridiculous. If Sen. Clinton loses in Ohio or Texas (and especially if she loses in both) “Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin” not only will be scribbled on the wall of her campaign headquarters, it’ll be flashing in neon lights from the Goodyear blimp. March 4 is next Tuesday. We can wait until then to see what the Moving Finger writes. Hillary Clinton certainly will.”
