Hail to the Chief

I watched The Situation Room on CNN today, and I'm making a prediction here people...

I feel pretty confident that my friend and yours, Mr. Donald Trump, is posturing himself for a bid for the presidency.

He clearly had a committee of previous The Apprentice winners researching everything from Chinese trade to the failures of the Panama Canal.

That windbag went on and on and on about how the presidents of our history have been huge failures with the exception of a few years there in the 80's.. I think we can all guess who the saint was that ran that administration. That one will forever get a pass from President Bad Hair's criticism.

The fact that he has never been invited on Dancing with the Stars is just too much for him. He can't take it anymore, and he's going to command the attention he deserves by becoming president.

Guess it won't be the first or the last time a chubby rich white guy wants to run in and save us all from ourselves by running for office. Nothing new there, but it will be exciting to see what he's married to at that time. By then, I think his current wife will be firmly in her 30's and it will be time for a trade.

What A Day!!

Nothing like 1 million hours of inaugural coverage to really make me feel like an American!

I don't know about you, but if I wasn't sure before, I am certain now that everything is going to be alright...because Super Barack will make sure of it. He's no ordinary man. He is going to save us.

Do you have a splinter in your finger? He will make sure the era of change comes to your afflicted digit. After all, it shouldn't be the wealthy alone who have access to splinter-puller-outers.

Are you frustrated by the price of a stamp? He'll check the W2 of the guy behind you and ensure he pays for your postage. Why should you have to pay for it when there is a "have" standing right behind you! The burden of postage can be spread around. It will make these United States a place of greater personal responsibility.

As a matter of fact, should you have any grievance what-so-ever, you just send the big guy an email. He'll put a team together, have a small business owner finance the team's brainstorming, design a resolution, have one of those hideous successful/rich people pay for the resolution, and solve your problem completely. You have nothing to worry about!

We are living in Barack Obama's United States, my friends. He is shaping our future, and we can finally be the nation we were destined to be!!!

So Far...Not So Good

Well, it all started at 10:00 this morning. I went to my polling place, where I have voted in many an election in the past, to discover the line wrapped completely around the building.

I think normally I would have been thrilled about all those folks showing up to vote. I mean in the past I could simply allocate 5 minutes to the entire voting experience including drive time...I could actually hear crickets in the voting booth.

But, I know this morning's line was full of people who had no idea why they were voting for their candidate of choice. People are buzzing with HYPE! So irritating! Does anyone do their own independent research anymore??? People seem to be making this decision completely based on sound bites and pep rallies.

Do me a favor today. When you encounter that person who is all too willing to discuss the person he voted for, ask him WHY he voted the way he did. You will no doubt get the same answers I've been getting....stupid ones. If you get, "We need change." Be sure to ask, "What changes do you expect to see?" Then, step back and watch the genius fumble for a meaningful answer. Idiots.

Well, an hour later I finally got to cast my ballot for the lesser of the two devils running for pres. Nothing like waiting an hour to vote for someone you have to hold your nose to tolerate.

Ahhh...The Splendor of Autumn

Isn't this the best time of year!! The crisp air and dropping leaves are amazing, but my favorite thing has to be the never ending political commercials.

Seriously, I wish the television networks could put more of these 30 second bursts of gospel truths back-to-back-to-back. They bring me so much hope for our future.

I mean saying things like, "I will work for you. And, I will end crime," make me feel warm and fuzzy. There is no need to explain HOW they plan to accomplish that. And obviously, if a politician says they will end crime, there will no longer be a need to even lock your doors at night. In fact, you can just forget about a bank...just leave your cash in piles on your front porch. How convenient!!! Politicians really have a way of getting things done for us and do so with GREAT efficiency!

You know what would be really great! I think someone should spend a fortune for a half-an-hour infomercial! I think 30 minutes during prime time would cost something like $1,000,000 per network, and I can't imagine a better place to invest the money.

And a special thank you to Obama and McCain for insightful and honest advertising. Americans are surely in good hands with either of you!
