So, McCain/Obama round 1 is in the books, and by all accounts it was, well, uninspiring. God knows we could sure use a legitimate contender in the “other” box right about now. The Republicans are certainly not the answer unless you want to see how the Roman Empire went down in flames first hand, and the Democrats might save the nation, not that you’d be able to see it, since the government will have to feed the 200 bazillion dollar budget shortfall that will occur when they attempt to rewire the entire United States to accept wind power and regulate the health care industry, which basically means you’re footing the bill.
Speaking of footing the bill, it appears Uncle Sam has this genius idea that we, the people, buy up almost a trillion dollars of crap even a junk bond trader would run away from like it was anthrax. We, as usual, have ZERO say in it, and sure as hell, if by some miracle this debacle actually turns a PROFIT, I can about guarantee we will not see a cent of it back into our pockets. So, in review, you and I take all the risk, and get none of the reward. Thanks for playing!
I heard rumor of a Palin interview with Katie Couric while I was sitting at work half paying attention to the television. CNN’s Cafferty ran a clip of it, which I was wholly not paying attention to, because I was sort of busy, but more to the point, listening to Sarah Palin speak makes my skin crawl in a way it not experienced since 4th period Spanish class. What caught my attention was Cafferty afterwards basically looking like he was seriously considering getting on a boat and trying to sail TO Cuba to escape the insanity. To paraphrase, he basically said, “In the event McCain cannot continue his job, you’ve just heard from the next potential president of the United States. I’m moving to Chile”.
I’m positive it’s on Youtube by this point, so your crack reporter will get it up for you here on the Peeve post haste. If it’s half as bad as Cafferty makes it out to be, I’m going to be revisiting the idea of defecting to Canada.
Also in the works for you my reader, the Peeve breaks down each party. We’ll review the mission statements, the basic Q and A’s, and boil it all down to layman’s terms. After careful consideration, we’ll start with the Libertarian Party. Why? Because their manifesto reads like the Satanic Bible* of politics, and that, my friends, is just too good to let wait.
*For those of you who are Christian and read the bible, you really should familiarize yourself with the Satanic Bible. It’s hilarious. For those of you who really think it will burn a hole in the book shelf or will invoke the spirit of Newt Gingrich, you can simulate reading the thing. Basically, take any teaching or point the Bible makes, and read it as an opposite. Example: Bible: “Thou Shalt Not Kill”. Satanic Bible: “KILL KILL KILL”…
Easy as pie.
