Frustrations
As I’m sure some of you have noticed, posting on this blog has flagged a little bit. Okay, it is pretty much dropped down to nothing. This was not an intentional slight to my loyal readers (all four of you), but rather a self-imposed break. It is also the lack of any subject worthy of my time to write about.
Usually, I like to discuss the political climate of the U.S., but frankly, like so many Americans these days, I am positively disgusted with the clowns who are allegedly serving us in Washington. The so-called debate that is being done by our esteemed leaders more closely resembles that of a bunch of prepubescent brats screeching at each other on a school yard than it does an informed debate of important issues.
This leads me to the upcoming presidential election. Back in 2004, I kept telling myself that the candidates on parade were the sorriest bunch of assclowns to ever try and seek the highest office of the land. Here we are, a scant few years later, and an even sorrier bunch are falling over themselves and each other in an attempt to out do each other in the quadrennial popularity contest.
Yes, I said “popularity contest”, and I meant “popularity contest”, because this election damned sure is not about any pertinent issues. Republicans are running solely on the platform of “Well, at least we’re not Democrats,” but you really would not be able to tell from what little policy they have allowed to enter the “debate”. Democrats, on the other hand, are running solely on the platform of “Well, At least we’re not George Bush.” Here is a hint, Dems: running against a lame duck is not exactly a strategy that will appeal to anyone but the extreme “We Hate Bush” leftist crowd.
Speaking of Bush, I did not know it was possible for my opinion of him to sink any lower than it was. His thumbing his nose at the more than 80% of the population who opposed his illegal alien amnesty program did just that. Good going, Georgie. Calling your already disgruntled base (you know, the people who got you elected TWICE) a bunch of racists is an excellent tactic that is a sure way to get them to support you.
And, while I’m on the topic of unpopular people, I would be content to live out the rest of my life without another person with either the name Bush or the name Clinton sitting in the White House.
Simply put, I am unable to fully quantify the level of disgust and disappointment that I feel towards the clowns running the circus to which we refer as “government”. It looks as though I will be taking the Monty Brewster approach for this upcoming election. Again.

I can live without another Clinton or Bush in the White House myself. Thankfully there isn’t another Bush running this year at least. It’s certainly hard to get enthused for this election.
