Only One Thing To Say

All Hail to the Chief!!

143 days experience--or Sarah Palin

I received this email. Read all the way to the bottom before going off on my ass.

143 DAYS . . .

Here is some measurable perspective to help folks decide where they want to go with their vote for the Presidency of the United States of America!

I personally like candidates to have a real history of service to our country that can be calculated and measured the good and the bad? We need a new direction that is for sure. We can do it? Kind of a silly slogan or cliche in my view. We have always done it and will continue to do it! We need leader ship that comes from calculated measurable experiences. Perhaps a leader with a real plan? Do your own research to look at both candidates an then make a prudent sound decision come election day for the next President and Vice President of the United States of America.

You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.

You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.

You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.

You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.

You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.

BUT....

'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United States Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.. After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World .... 143 days.



We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a start.

AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is okay with this and campaigning for him. We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are okay with this for the President of the United States of America? Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol!

Now, here is what I replied:

Point taken, but at least he has two brain cells to rub together and seems rational. If something were happen to McCain, that doofus Sarah Palin would take over and the way she handles things scares the hell out of me. She's against a woman's right to choose, doesn't care about the environment, has wolves (including pups) hunted for a bounty, including aerial hunting, has officials fired simply because she doesn't like them, and beyond that, she strikes me as being just plain nuts.
McCain doesn't strike me as being a wacko, but he is a hawk and shows no signs of trying to wrap up the Iraq war or discontinue the spending of 10 billion dollars a month in Iraq. That money could be better used to improve conditions for poor families here.

BTW--Less than a week to vote for your favorite Netherworld Candidates, y'all! Go to the Side Bar. So far the Really Really Right Wing Reactionary Party is way ahead. I don't know if it's Nixon's charisma or what, but I sure hope it ain't a reflection of what's gonna happen in the real world!
The comforting thought is that the Sewer Party and the Cannibal Party remain voteless. I like the Handy Party and the Porn Party does have the charm of being blatantly honest, but personally I'm stumping for the Unspeakable Party because you just shouldn't settle for the lesser evil.

Two Good Reasons to Vote Democrat in This Election

Don't forget to cast your vote for your favorite Netherworld party if you haven't already! (see the poll in the sidebar)

Tricky Dick and Flowering Kudzu appreciate your support!

PBS Palin Poll

Go here and cast your vote to tell PBS whether you think Punkinhead Palin is qualified to run this country in the event that Duffer McCain kicks the bucket.

Shocking But True Department: Republican Party Offends Senior Citizens!

You just can't make things like this up! One of our residents, Mr. Demmy Kratt (ok, I did make his name up to avoid problems with HIPAA, since so many people read this blog) received an autographed picture of Duffer McCain and Punkinhead Palin in the mail. The message printed just below the picture was "Mr. Kratt: Thank you for your continued support of our party."

Mr. Kratt was understandably aghast, and yet terribly amused. A perfectly clear-headed senior citizen, he knows where his money goes, and he knows that he has never voluntarily contributed any money to the Republican party, let alone this particular cataclysmic duo. Thus he was scratching his rather level old head in bewilderment as to where they could have gotten the idea that he had taken part in supporting their madness. So he did the only thing he could do: got out a red pen and wrote in big beautiful (though somewhat shaky from arthritis acquired during his many years spent on the planet) block letters:

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!

He then took his red pen and put red X's over the faces of the offending parties.

Although simple, Demmy's retort says it all.

Please keep the venerable Demmy Kratt in your hearts today. After all, he did suffer a terrible shock at the hands of the Republican party.
