Having realized that I am at complete liberty to detour from my path of mundane introspection, I am choosing today to indulge in some amateur punditry. Don’t worry, I’ll eventually get back to the mind-numbing saga of my adventures with The United Methodist Church, but with midterm elections a mere three weeks away I just can’t resist throwing some barbs at the mindless 51% of the American electorate that has kept the immoral regime of King George up and running.
What the heck were you thinking? Oh! That’s right, you weren’t! Remember that you didn’t have 9/11 for an excuse the first time you finagled this cowboy into the White House. It was nothing more than a greedy grab by the rich for more combined with a masterful campaign that portrayed this nincompoop as a born-again Christian that successfully rallied fundamentalists whose ability to think for themselves was already proven to be nil.
With the sale of Hummers having increased—increased!!—by 16% in 2005, America gives the world just one more reason revile us. We deserve everything that’s coming to us, and I’m not talking about respect and support. Without any earnest campaign reform measures in place, even if the House shifts Democratic in this election, we will still be dealing with the best Congress money can buy. Shame on us!
