Sarah?

With no explanation, woman

sleeping husband’s groin.

It must be obvious by now to anyone who can read or watch television that Sarah Palin was an atrocious pick for VP. And yet the powers that be in the Brafia/Republican party are strangely silent. It should be clear that if McCain had any chance of becoming President he has more or less blown it by his impetuous choice of a running mate. So why are his colleagues, like Giuliani, Romney, Bush, Rove, Cheney, Ridge, Snow, Dole, Schwartzeneger, Lieberman, Graham, and etc., etc., not speaking out and demanding that he get rid of her and replace her with a more reasonable candidate? Is it merely because they think it is too late? They cannot still be believing that she is helping the ticket. Have they just given up on this election cycle and waiting for 2012? I strongly suspect it is this latter. Someone had enough clout to insist that he not pick Lieberman or Ridge, why do they not have enough to insist he dump Palin? Very interesting.

Now that Bush/Paulson lost their outrageous bid to just receive a gift of 700 billion dollars, and now that they have completely changed course and decided to do what most economists and others said they should have done in the first place, and now that they have consulted with the heads of the other developed countries, what can we expect tomorrow? Will anyone be convinced that they know what they are doing? Will anyone think that what they are doing is going to be enough? Will confidence in banks be restored? Or will we, after all, just plunge headlong into a serious depression? You have to believe these are interesting times. The Reagan revolution has been put to the test and failed dismally. What would Saint Ronnie say were he still with us. something intelligent, no doubt, like, if you’ve seen one depression you’ve seen ‘em all. I once jogged frequently with a kind of raunchy character who jogged faithfully everyday. I found jogging to be unutterably boring. So one day I asked him how he did it, day after day. He said, “easy, just think about sex.” I suggest this might be good advice for those who have lost so much in the market of late. Don’t blame Saint Ronnie, Bush, Cheney, or the rest of the crooks that brought us down, don’t blame unregulated greedy capitalism or dishonest CEO’s, just think about sex.

Someone I was talking with today said that people with an income of $30,000 a year had no business buying $300,000 homes. I believe that is true. But more importantly, who encouraged and allowed them to do it, and why? Some people and companies got very rich doing just that. Barnum didn’t have it quite right when he said “there’s a sucker born every minute and two to take him,” he should have said there’s a million suckers born every year and a small few to take ‘em. And so the rich get richer year after year, and the poor get poorer year after year, and we are worried about Obama’s acquaintances and what they did when he was eight years old. Of course he IS black, cause enough for suspicion. I haven’t been able to decide what is worse: being black, being a Harvard lawyer, or being a Chicago politician. Even so, I wouldn’t think of voting for an angry senile warmongerer with an uncontrollable temper and an imaginary playmate. Viva Viagra! Up with the skirts and down with the pants! Full speed ahead and damn the torpedos! And don’t forget, a vote for Sarah is a vote for Todd.
