September 17, 2007:

 

Campaign:

This current presidential race has become the least presidential and the stupidest of all of the ones that have happened in my lifetime. The media says it is kicking into high gear now. That’s nonsense! It has been going on for over a year and it could not possible get any more high gear or filthier than it already is. The primaries have all been moved up to the point where the convention becomes nothing more than a charade. For all I know, the campaign may be a charade to make the voters think they are choosing. I would not be a bit surprised to discover that the candidates were selected months ago. None of the people running are the ones I would have selected to run in the primaries. We are having them shoved in our faces, take it or leave it.

 

There are no good people running. They are all stupid jerks with nothing but the same tired, timeworn rhetoric the fools have been using since I first noticed a campaign about 60 years ago. Not one of them has a real position on anything and not one of them believes what they are saying. They are all lying scumbags and they know it. There is no candidate out there worth the spit of an honest working man or woman. If elected is the right word, I have concluded it does not matter which bum is elected.

 

Listening to these hacks is like coming upon a pool of puke on the sidewalk. It makes my stomach heave to hear them. I have some friends in Monroe County, Michigan. They are hog farmers and they run about 2000 head. Our state government has been tying to run them out of business for years but they hang on. Now this ethanol fraud may be their death knell if they cannot get feed for their herd. I hope not, because they are nice people and they have a beautiful farm. The point is, I have been thinking, instead of listening to political speeches, I could visit these folks and hear the real thing. I could sit in their barn and listen to the swine squealing all day long. It would make as much sense and it would not smell as bad.

 

One friend has suggested the Libertarians may have the answer. I think not. When I read their stuff and listen to their rhetoric, I get that they are advocating a simplistic form of anarchy. Anarchy always leads to tyranny. You only need read some history to realize that. When the communists in Russia tried to eliminate the state, they created a monster that ruined their pretty ideals. The anarchistic situation quickly evolved into tyranny. It always does. Anarchy is a power vacuum. Nature will not tolerate an uncontained vacuum. It will quickly move to contain or fill it. In the case of political situations, that container will always be some form of power-based dictatorship. Don’t you remember Joseph Stalin, Castro, Mussolini, Hitler, Tito, etctera?

 

Perhaps John Arbuthnot said it best. “All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.” Unfortunately, we have yet to reach that point for either of these two swine controlled machines. There will be nothing more about the presidential politics in this column until after the election charade unless something very unusual happens. I doubt that. Everything from here on is predictable. Hillary has been anointed and, unless she really screws up, she will be the next president of our very soiled republic. The best thing she can do now is just keep her mouth shut and let Bill tell the lies for her. When he is not under oath, he is fairly good at it. As my dear old mother used to say, “No good will come of thus.”

 

It will probably be a couple of years before Obama realizes he was set up, by the Democratic machine, as a straw man for Hillary. For sure, he will be angry, but it will be too late. There will be nothing he can do. He will finally just shrug and join the charade parade.

 

I am fed up. I am finished with voting for the least evil person. With this mob of intellectual ciphers, I have come to the end of my rope. I cannot, in good conscience vote for any of them on the pretext that I am choosing the least evil. They are all beyond that. I have only one option left. That is to write in the name of someone I believe to be an honest, qualified citizen.

 

Given that criteria, I have decided to write in the name of Whoopie Goldberg for president of my country. Take an honest look at her and compare her to the swine who are pretending to the president’s chair. She is far superior to any of them. She is intelligent, witty, honest, courageous, and I am convinced she has no personal agenda. In short, she is all of the things those contesting liars pretend to be, but are clearly not. She is fully qualified for the top job and one of the few people who is. I urge everyone to consider writing in Whoopie Goldberg for president.

 

Germs:

Our culture has gone germ mad. The rabble have been conned into an overprotective frenzy. They are scrubbing their kids, they are scrubbing themselves, they are scrubbing their homes, and now they are scrubbing public playgrounds, for Gord’s sake. This is all a Procter and Gamble, Colgate Palmolive media con with little or no basis in fact. It’s about marketing soap, nothing more. If all that germ stuff was really as dangerous as they make the rabble believe, I and every kid I grew up with would have died before we got to grade school.

 

Instead, the kids are now so overprotected, that they have reduced immunity systems and some of them really are dying. All of a sudden, we have allergy epidemics where we previously had just a few rare incidents. We have not a few, but thousands of kids allergic to peanuts for example. Asthma is now widespread, where it was once rare. Respiratory diseases multiply, and still we continue with this nonsense, all in the name of the bottom line. What fools these mortals be!

 

Legislative Insanity:

There is a crazy representative, Mr. Agema, who is in the Michigan legislature. He is trying to push through a bill that would allow teachers to carry concealed weapons in school. He says it will make the schools safer. He is stark raving mad. You cannot increase safety by increasing the possibilities for violence. You can only do the opposite. The more guns there are around, the more likely it is they will be used. Any good cop will attest to that. Of the teachers I have seen in my lifetime, there are none I would trust with a gun around my grandchildren. Would you?

 

Petraeus:

He finally gave his report. So what? I could have written it for him. It is the predictable response of a power toady. Though he denies being influence, he hewed to the Bush line like it was a script. The surge is working and we will keep it going until next summer — at least. Crocker, the ambassador to Iraq, backed him up. Sure! Petraeus’ performance was so limp that Limbaugh was compelled to give a large part of his bluster time to attacking the character and integrity of the senators who questioned him. Hee, hee, hee!

 

Only in Michigan?

Two convicted felons, students of Flint Southwestern High School, we let out of prison for a while so they could play football in the Flint Southwestern, Grand Blanc football game. Guess what? Flint Southwestern won. Ain’t that grand. When questioned, the prosecutor in the case hedged saying that details of the case are sealed. Who can blame him? I’d want to hide stuff like that too. No one has figured it out yet. Does anyone suppose that the reason we have so many criminals is related to the fact that criminals are too often not punished? In this case, the school board stepped into the breach. They suspended the players and the coach. It was too late for Grand Blanc, but a good move, nonetheless!
