Political Post: State of the Stately National Nation. :)

I gather some people are a wee-tad-bit-mite nervous about some....goings-on, here in the good old USA. There seems to be some turmoil, some rancor, an attitude or two floating around. This is of course melded with a plethora of Cable News talking head pundits doing some...talking and punditry.

 

 Keep in mind they get paid to dial it up a notch, its how they make a living. Selling copy, getting clicks, ad buys, they want and need people to cling to their every word...because they got bills to pays to pay. Ergo...that's why I don't watch Cable News and actually pretty much never watch TV...at all.  

 

 

When I want to know what's going on, I read. You remember reading? Articles, journals, periodicals, actual news stories. Some people think its the same either way. Its not. When I often hear someone spew and/or spout something incredibly misinformed...or just downright stupid within the political realm (or geographical, historical, scientific, anthropologic, architectural, medical etc.) they say "I watch the News"....as opposed to "I read about what's happening in our world via the News". Watching means an ignorant airheaded, bleached blonde bimbo with massive amounts of makeup and Botox...and that's just the men! The women*really* lay it on, lol. 

 

 

So, my take on this to assuage any fears, to tamp down the rhetoric, the drama, the hype, the "Breaking News!!!" headlines over...virtually nothing usually is the following....

 

We, the USA, have survived a Revolution, generic Velveeta cheese in a can, a Civil War, multiple other wars which many of you are *very* familiar with. A depression, recessions, Civil Rights movement, suffrage, MTV VJ's, natural disasters, the Dems, the GOP, Disco pants, the Dust Bowl, New Coke, and a plethora of stupid ideas, like Televangelists fashion sense....so I remain optimistic that two born rich children in semi-men's bodies aren't going to drag us down or blow us up with some Nukes. I take a certain amount of confidence in assuming that neither of them could even push "The Button" with their short fingered pudgy little hands.

 

 

 Beyond 3 or 4 international fascists, the odd dictator, a few lunatic fundamentalists, our very own corrupt Big Bank and Big Pharma...the rest of the world is rooting for us and eventually the people that supported these buffoons will come to their senses. While obviously anything *could* happen, I mean Holy Hell, the Bay of Pigs almost became a nuke war...before I was even born. Cooler heads and common sense prevailed It happened then, and many other times in other ways, and we're still here, so I think things will ultimately be just fine. I fully endorse this message...

And I'm not wearing any pants. :)
