I want you to know that as much as I dislike the current President of the United States I really would never want anything to happen to him or any elected leader of our country. I am not sure what is the driving force that causes men and women to run for offices, but I darned sure want people to continue to seek higher offices. Do you have any idea what it would be like if we couldn't get out smartest to run? Just how silly would you look if everything you said was broad casted and written down. I'm sure that the Media would have loved to report that I said "Shit" this morning when I shook the V-8 bottle with a loose lid. "Dennis sets a bad example for children at breakfast table." Could any of us really stand that kind of scrutiny?
I revel in the fact that the United States has had about 225 years of peaceful turnover of leadership (OK, There was that one time in the 1860's that things got out of hand) We will recover from the current leadership and soon people will be saying stupid things about how bad the other party has messed things up. When boatloads of Americans start invading Haiti for a better life, I will start to worry.
On facebook, I am starting to run my life lessons 101. Yesterday was simply that things we thought "cool" aren't 40 years later. I especially think the new T-Shirt fad of having them tucked in and stretching across a pot belly is silly. I think they should be stretched if they say "Baby on Board" and there really is one. Today I think everyone should try to be happy with what they have and not get what they want. The best way to get out of debt is to not get in the first place.
Should be a great day here in the heartland. Have a great day out there.

From your blog: "Do you have any idea what it would be like if we couldn't get our smartest to run? Just how silly would you look if everything you said was broad casted and written down".
ReplyDeleteWe had exactly that with George W. Bush. He sure wasn't the bright bulb in his group.
No, Bush was not the brightest "bulb in his group." (even though I've never seen a group of bulbs)
ReplyDeleteBut, he wasn't the dimmest witted narcissist to ever sit in the Oval Office, either...like the BozO we have now.
MUD, you ask the question that Ray I. brought back up. "Do you have any idea what it would be like if we couldn't get our smartest to run? Just how silly would you look if everything you said was broad casted and written down".
Our "smartest" already don't run, for the most part. Most of them are either too "smart," or too "principled" to wade in to politics.
As far as folks looking "silly," the ones that aren't eaten up with self-adulation don't give a flying fig if they're caught in an actual "human" moment...they can laugh it off, and go on.
Kinda like that dimwit Bush did.
But there are others...their skin is so thin that ANY criticism draws their personal ire, and political vengeance. Kinda' like the little retarded child that occupies the Oval Office now.
Yes, we will probably recover from this present administration. I sure hope so.
I just saw a short blurb about Jimma Carter. They say he is a consensus builder and I have many say that about me. Why do I dislike Jimma so strongly? Has there ever been a President that didn't have strong opponents? Or weak opponents with strong objections?
ReplyDeleteMUD
Heh! Maybe I'm one of those weak opponents with strong objections myself...
ReplyDeleteBut definitely an opponent (no matter how weak) of this guy...
If Jimmy Carter was a "consensus builder," then I'm 6'4," and pitch for the New York Yankees.
And quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.
And drive a Bentley. And a Porsche...
