He must not read the daily newspapers

Out of touch, head buried in the sand, clueless, living under a rock, etc.  There is just no words that can adequately describe Mit Romney.  The big white elephant is in the room  where he stands but Mit only sees the Koch Brothers and other high dollar donors.

The Forty-seven percent is right there in front of him but candidate Romney is clearly looking at something else.  Looking over and around a good part of his constituency.  The big part of the forty-seven percenters live in the south and southeast.  A major part of the folks who would normally support Romney.  Yes, registered Republicans!  But no, Mit pokes them in the eye.  Calling them freeloaders, moochers, and tax dodgers.  So, now you know how Mitten feels about you and me.  Those of us who have paid into Social Security and are old enough to receive benefit from our savings.  Plus paying taxes on SSI.  Not to mention paying local, sales, and state taxes.  Including tolls on roads and bridges.  Plus all the federal taxes we pay on gasoline and other utilities.  All of which support the infrastructure of the “go it alone” ontrepaneurs.  Yes, the same ontrepaneurs who Mit Romney said could build a business in the middle of the desert without the benefit of roads and utilities.  Oh really?

Mit needs to turn on the lights in the room and see who really supports him.  It’s the working poor.  The elderly, the retired, the disabled and families of current military servicemembers.  Most of whom live in the southeast.  Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, and a couple of other “Red” states.  All of which Mit has flushed down the toilet with his recent “forty-seven percent” statement at a high roller fund raiser.  Yes, this man is not fit to be president.  He only represents the “one-percent” of the very wealthy.  Not us, for sure!

He's just not like us. Look at his hair.

I often wonder about Mit Romney and how he views the world around him. Obviously his perspective is far removed from mine. Me, being from a blue collar family. He, having grown up in privilege and comfort having no worries or needless wants. And that, I don’t understand. Then on the other hand, I ponder about poor kids growing up in the ghetto of large urban areas. Having so little they have to resort to criminal acts to obtain what they want. Sometimes just food and clothes. Nothing else. Risking their own freedoms for somebody else’s money and life. Still I don’t understand how they resort to such behavior. Why can’t they do better? Likewise, I’m sure Mit Romney looks at we middle classers and has no clue why we think and act the way we do. Why must we depend on the federal and state government for some social services, education, and health care. Why can’t we do this on our own, he might conjecture. “It would be so simple.” None the less, for a person wanting to be president of the United States, you would think he might take the time to learn and understand the middle class. Like mingling with the street level people. He could read some books. Read the newspaper. Talk to anyone on Main street. Maybe visit a grocery store and buy a carton of eggs or a gallon of milk. Just to find out what it’s like to be middle class. Possibly learn how much food and clothe cost on a limited budget. And then follow someone to the bank as he or she cashes a paycheck. And then watch how the average person budget his or her money to make ends meet. It really wouldn’t take much to discover how to live a middle class life. Just shadow someone and find out. Then maybe he might glean a different perspective. But, since he has not done that, I feel he is not fit to be President. He doesn’t know me and tens of millions like me. People living from day to day on limited resources. How could he make decisions and make good legislation based only on his limited exposure. Thus, he is mostly clueless and unaware of the greater American population and it’s needs and hardships. To me, privilege is a negative not an asset. It’s just another fault to disqualify him as possible President.

Then you say you will. Then you say you won't.

Mit Romney, I’m sorry to say, is a composite of several guys I once knew in junior high school. The smiling nerd who would like to be a jock but ain’t. Never looking at you straight on when talking. Almost always looking past you or maybe looking for an audience or a flashing camera.

Plus most shallow, dismissive of their own transgressions, talking and never listening, and very photo opportunistic. Always running for some student council position and never producing any results. And only enabled by wealthy parents.

I am sure he is a wonderful friend, father, and husband but not presidential material. One would never know what he stands for. Forever vacillating from one position to the next. Always saying what the listeners wants to hear.

Speaking moderate to moderates. Speaking severe conservative to severe conservatives. A political chameleon. Blending in quickly to any political environment. Red, blue, or whatever. “Flipity-floppity-doo. I’m here for you.”

And the envelope please!

I would like to award Mit Romney first prize for world’s biggest and best “Second Guesser.” Second guessing no matter what is said or done. Mr. Monday Morning Quarterback. The guy who loves to criticize anything others have done and he has not. Mr. Damn if you do and Damn if you don’t. Always on the hunt for easy criticism cheap shots.

And of course Romney’s favorite target is President Obama. Naturally. The man in the tallest saddle gets the first shot from whining Mit.

I’m sure Mit Romney has been doing this second guess work ever since junior high school. You know the type. Ned the nerd running for school treasurer. If you can’t be a jock, shoot one instead. It’s the Romney thing to do. Take out your opponent with nasty rumors and lies. It works every time.

And of course Mit does this because he has nothing, zero, not one positive proposal of his own to offer to the American voter. Natta, nothing but toxic gas. Hot air. Blowhardism. BS and dog dung.

He is just an agent for No Change. Stay the same Mit. Regressive and Mr. Back Flow. Returning the country to those horrific depression days of Yesteryear. No creativity. No solutions for a bad economy. Status Quo R Us. Just sit on it Mit.

And this is the guy some want to be our President. President? More like the “Grim Reaper.” A guy hired to kill every positive government program there is. Hired by the Koch Brothers and all the backwards thinking regressive. “Let’s drown the government in a bath tub. Oh wait! Pull the military out of there. Just let the DOE and the EPA drown. Try to hold down the Postal Service and make sure it’s dead. Oh! Wait wait. Pull Homeland Security out before it drowns.”

Just rode in on a load of sushi

All I can figure is, Mit Romney must had just arrived from the planet Neptune. An alien to reality and truth. Either that or he is completely illiterate and never reads the newspapers. Perhaps a teensy bit stupid. Forrest Gumpish maybe.

And the reason I tell you this is, Romney says Obama has been bad for the economy. Anti-free market. Been in office for almost four years and hasn’t created any jobs. Oh really?

So, I picked up my local newspaper and turned to the Business section. Headlines read something like this: Wall Street at its highest point since 2007. Sears Holding showing record quarterly profits. Several Gas and Oil producers volume and profits up for the quarter. GM with records sales. Local gas and utility company with record profits. American Airlines revises lay off plan to reduce lay off numbers and offers union reasonable pay increase. You call this bad news? Hardly.

Romney is an idiot. Totally clueless. He is just a lying Pinocchio on extreme rightwing RNC strings. His mouth is moving but someone else is talking. Probably Michele Bachmann or Newt Gingrich. Most likely Rush Limbaugh.

Newt is just the final nail

Nothing could possibly be better for Obama in this election year than what Newt is about to do. Newt Gingrich is endorsing Mit Romney today. I’m sure in order to be chosen as Romney’s running mate. Dr. Strangelove and Howdy Doody. An awesome twosome. Which, if you think about it , pairing this “Odd Couple” is the final nail in the Republican coffin.

None the less, to be tagged by Gingrich on anything is the political “Kiss of Death.” It would be the final shovel of dirt over your grave. Goodbye and I hope your insurance policy is up to date.

No two individuals represent the political party death march to regression than Newt and Mit. Both are poster boys for status quo from the 1930s. Throwbacks to an era most wish to forget. Making Herbert Hoover look like a Knight in White Satin.

But anyway, Gingrich and Romney: the depression twins. Both shrouded in a cloud of red dust. The Dust Bowling brothers. Dusty and Dingy

Republican party! Rest in Peace. I wish it hadn’t ended this way but this is what you had chosen as your standard bearers. Maybe more like pallbearers.

Has the class in Remedial Politics been filled? Do you have room for one more?

I hate to start the weekend this way but, it is often difficult to talk with someone who is Terminally clueless. However in this case it’s listen to someone who has no idea how life works. Listening to a guy who mindlessly talks a talk but has never walked the walk. You know, the Ted Baxter type from the Mary Tyler Moore show. Maybe more like Big Bird from Sesame Street. Just a guy with a head full of helium.

But anyway, I am talking about candidate Mit Romney. The supposed republican Party nominee for president. A man who wishes to relate to all Americans but only relates to George W Bush, the Koch Brothers, and the “Haves-More.”

Almost every time Mit is in public and speaking he swiftly inserts his foot in his mouth. He just can’t get it right. He has read the Great Gatsby too many times and it shows. Perhaps he should read more about John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, or Abe Lincoln. And Mit certainly has nothing in common with Ronald Reagan for sure.

The bigger question is why hasn’t the Republican advisors and handlers clued in Mit about politicking. Why does the RNC and the TEA party allow such public carelessness. My only guess is because the RNC and the TEA party are out of touch as well. Just a bunch of blank stares like deer in the headlights. Just stunned by reality. Inert bags of gas. All perpetual Farts, all of them.

Mit would make a better “Stay at home Dad” than a politician. Let’s all help him out. Vote Obama in November.

Your word is as good as your Etch-a-sketch.

From the Republican Talking points handbook:
When in doubt just say what the voters want to hear. No matter if you said something different last week. Just make it up as you go along. No one will ever know where you get your information anyway. Just talk on the fly. The more BS the better.

Also be sure to bring your Etch-a-sketch. Just shake it up and let the ideas and words fly. No one will ever remember what you said last week. No one is really listening. No one really cares.

Posted by Mit Romney as a memo to himself.

I love his smile and pretty hair. But, he's an idiot.

I am an older person born into a fundamental Christian faith. Never smoked, never drank or worse yet…, danced. Attending church at least three times a week with my parents and siblings.

But anyway, I would prefer a Christian believer in the Whitehouse. Not a Mormon. Yes, I too believe the LDS church to be a cult and not a pure Christian denomination. I absolutely believe there were no latter day saints. It’s just the way I was taught. Fundamental me.

And of course we are talking about Mit Romney. However, Mormonism is the least of his public problems. Flip-flopping and a besmircher of women might be his worse attributes. Not to mention his love for money and the people it brings to him. And add disdainer of public employees and the American automobile industry on top of that. Big Oil, Big Banks, Big Boxes, and Big mouth people is what Mit is drawn to. Plus the Koch Brothers and the major polluters of America. All of these guys are his financial supporters and sugar Daddies. And to say the least he is beholding to Big Money and its influence. But I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. Right?

All in all, Mit Romney is a walking Etch-a-sketch. He is all things to all people. He will say one thing one time and say the opposite the next. Just shake him up and watch him re-create his own image. “I am pro immigration and will sign the Dream Act.” And then he said, “ I would repeal the Dream Act when in office at the Whitehouse.” “I will produce good jobs.” However, he killed off many jobs as manager of his venture capitalist business. Sending many companies into bankruptcy after skimming off the profits.

Basically he has no idea what he is talking about. Mit just makes it up as he goes along. Mr. Etch-a-sketch. Flipping and flopping down the road. In total denial of reality. Captain Blowhard.

So if you value your Social Security and Medicare, a vote against Mit Romney will help preserve your retirement. Protect your health and education for your children and grandchildren. Vote no for Mr. Flip-a-ditty do.” Always remember, Mit Romney is against almost everything America has been and stood for. God Bless America.

Repeating myself over and over is redundent. So here it is again.

I hate to repeat myself but once again this subject keeps dogging the political arena. And the subject is the price of gasoline at the pump. Here is a candid Q and A with Chevron’s CEO taken from today’s USA Today:

“Chevron CEO sees high oil demand, thin spare capacity By One on One, with Maria Bartiromo Oil prices have been among the few wild cards in this economic recovery. With gasoline at high levels, economists worry that any further rise in prices could zap people's disposable income and put a crimp in the economic recovery just as it is gaining traction. I caught up with one of the leading CEOs in the oil business. Chevron's John Watson says the reasons prices are high are not likely to go away anytime soon. Our interview follows, edited for clarity and length. Q: Gas prices have been rising, following the price of oil. What's causing high oil prices? A: About 75% of the price of gas is really dictated by crude oil. At the heart of the issue is increasing demand over a period of many years around the world. World crude oil consumption now is close to 90 million barrels a day. Most of the growth in demand is coming from China and the developing world. On top of that, we're seeing little spare capacity, and we're seeing tensions and pressures, primarily in the Middle East…”

Read the entire article in today’s USA Today.

This subject keeps coming up because of the highly charged political season. Or should we call it the “Silly Season?” None the less it often comes down to blaming President Obama for high gasoline prices. Kind of like blaming Betty Crocker for the high cost of Twinkies. Twinkies or Oil, all go on to the world market and is bought by the highest bidder. However in the case of oil, there often is other countries out bidding America. Usually China, India, Japan, Europe and others.

So no matter how much we “Drill Baby Drill,” all oil goes to the global market. Even if we build a pipeline from Canada to the gulf, a man from China and India is at the other end ready to out bid America.

But you say a large part of that oil is drilled in America. Absolutely! However, all big oil companies are more loyal to their stockholders and will do anything to get maximum price on the world market. Ask any CEo. As mentioned in the USA Today article a global market and tension in the middle East drives the price at the pump. Not President Obama. The president has no influence over crude oil prices. Only OPEC and the oil producers.

If President Obama forced by law the big oil companies to keep domestically produced oil in America and sell at lower prices, he would be blasted by double barrels from the World Marketeers for inhibiting a free World market. So talk to your big oil CEo and ask them to lower prices. It would be like talking to the Great Wall of China. Drill baby drill is a bunch of hooey and all of President Obama’s detractors are engaged in truth bending and lies. Mit Romney being one of them. He and others will do or say anything to win the presidency.

This is not a Republican versus Democrat issue. It’s a basic economic principle. Look this up for yourself. Read the above article. Do your own homework and find the truth.

There he goes again. Blowing hard.

What is Mit Romney talking about? Does he not read the newspapers? Is he not watching CNBC? Has Mit been hiding away in Kat Man Do again?

The economy is getting better much to Mit’s wanting to trash the economic news of the upswing. Sure it could be better but it’s on its way. It’s there! In the papers! On CNBC!

Employment going up. More cars coming from America. More cars being exported. I know. I read it in USA Today. It’s in black and white print. Available at most newsstands. Papers baring witness to an improving economy.

Unemployment is going down. Many people are going back to work. Read it! It’s there at your finger tips. Plain and simple. Things are getting better.

However, Mit Romney’s definition of getting better includes more tax cuts for the rich. Less and less benefits for the middle class and the working poor. Mit wants to rid America of Social Security and Medicare. Mit wants to spend less and less money on education. Less and less money on health care. It is so plain and simple that Mit Romney wants to wreck the middle class again with more tax cuts for the very wealthy and send jobs overseas. It’s there! In the newspapers! Mit is for the most part anti-American progress. Anti-small business. And for sure, anti-made in America.

Mit Romney wants to run America like Goldman Sachs. Just give me all your money and we’ll get back with you. Shutting down businesses to “save money.” More like put more money in the bank accounts of the filthy rich. Good luck Mr. and Mrs. Middle America is what Mit is saying.

So what does Mit and his Wall Street cronies don’t understand. America wants progress and prosperity. Not bankruptcy. Bankruptcy like George W Bush left us with.

Mit Romney wants to return to the bad years after September 11. Many tax cuts for the rich, two huge costly and unpaid for wars. A collapsed housing market. And a crashed economy.

Mit!! America does not want your brand of class divide. The 99-percent wants you and your buds to pay up. Share your enormous profits with those who have nothing. The haves need to help the have nots. It’s the Golden Rule put into action. Do it! I know you will eventually like it. Helping others to help themselves.

But in the mean time shut up and help us out. Get your hands dirty. Pitch in and let’s work together. Here! Read the Wall Street Journal and read the Bloomberg News. Things are getting better. Obama’s policies are working. God bless Obama and America.

North America? Or, North Korea?

Here is what America will look like after the Republicans take over government. The military will be tripled in size. After repealing Obamacare Medicare will be completely eliminated. Social Security will be phased in to a tricky 401K with the account holder at total risk. Retired seniors will be conscripted into a “Poor Farm” commune. Public employees will be arrested if caught trying to organize collective bargaining. Public projects will be scuttled and any attempt to rebuild America’s infrastructure will be cancelled. The only exception on public projects will be constructing oil pipelines, oil rigs, and de-constructing of any alternative energy sources. Solar panels, wind turbines, electric cars or trucks will be crushed and used as scrap. Oil coal and gas will be our only resource. Drinking water will be at major risk because of the energy extraction methods. Fracking, mountain topping, and oil and chemical spillage. All limiting where Americans can live and survive. Many will die as a result of reckless energy extraction.

But first, to imagine what it will be like when Republicans take charge, just walk to the southern border of the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. Take a strong pair of binoculars and look north. Looking north in to North Korea you will see a country of austerity and hopelessness. A country under arrest by its vast military. A country that sends most food and health resources to its central government and large military. A bleak picture at best.

Meanwhile back in America after the Republicans take over, unemployment will be at an all time high. Public welfare will be nonexistent. Many will die dot to hunger and homelessness. Medical care will be only for the rich. Public education will quickly go away. Employment opportunity will be greatly diminished. Only the rich, strong, and Republican will survive. Ending up in a Fascist military state.

However, all this will not happen. Mainly because the irresponsible Republicans will not take over government. Mit Romney will suffer a major defeat in November. The house and Senate will balance to with more democrats and independents elected into congress. Leaving a more balanced and fair government. God Bless America.

What a sad ending

Spiraling down in a blaze of disgrace. And just think, I use to be a Republican. What happened? Why is the Republican Party crashing and burning? It seems only lies and more lies are their only hope to defeat President Obama. Where are their morals? Where are their ethics? What happened to fair play? What happened to respect and honor? What happened to the Golden Rule?

Republicans! R. I. P.

Making up your own rules is not the "Golden Rule."

I am really bothered by all these Republican presidential candidates. Candidates using religion to control and constrict the voting electorate. Like making up their own rules in order to define the presidential race. Rules that always define and vilify the Democrat opponent. Rules that conform to their own likes and dislikes. More like doctrinaire formulated for a sure win for “our side.” Sort of like making up your own rules before a football game. Rules which would always come down in your favor. “Only I get the ball and you guys must stand aside when I run.” Defense is strictly prohibited.”

But as it turns out, they make up rules that are not in the Bible. Rules most likely found in the Republican policy handbook. Ignoring true Biblical principles. Principles like Love, Peace, and Joy. Christian or moral concepts like patience, forgiveness, humility, and the list goes on that is overlooked by the moralizing rregressives. Totally ignored by the Republican candidates. Doing good works are completely dismissed by the Republicans.

Good works like take care of the sick, feed the poor, provide for widows and the homeless, and other Biblical principles and responsibilities. Possibly providing health care for the infirm. Providing means for the disabled. And maybe providing jobs for those out of work.

Good things can happen only if the moralizing pontificating Republicans really practice the “Golden Rule.” Do unto others as you wish them to do for you.” I know it can work. Millions of practicing believers do this every day without notice and recognition.

It would almost be better if we elected an Atheist. He or she might extend greater empathy for the needs of Americans. But if you really want a Christian or a Mormon or a Catholic to be president. Then find one that really believes in his or her basic religious teachings. Not one who is just self-serving and a hired advocate for corporate and financial interests. God forbid.

It's in all the headlines!

With the NASDAQ and the Dow trading at an all time high, Wall Street couldn’t be happier. Retail sales are climbing. Car sales are going up and especially fuel efficient cars. Employment is going up while unemployment is going down. Companies looking for good skilled workers. Technology is on the rise. Especially alternative energy technology. Sales tax revenue increasing for many cities. Natural gas production up and prices going down. Job prospects for college graduate are looking better. Over all, lots of good news for the American economy. All in spite of rising oil prices. And all without the aid of a Canadian oil pipeline.

However, and I guess left in the lurch, are Mit Romney and Newt Gingrich. Both gentlemen are under the impression the economy is getting worse. And blaming Obama for the state of the American economy. Hmm? Well, I should hope so. He’s done a pretty good job.

Haven’t these Republican candidate guys heard the good news? Are Mit and Newt living in a cave near Death Valley? Out of touch? Have they lost their cable subscription? Are they not reading the daily newspapers? Or, are they just clueless? Ill informed? Somebody, please help these guys get up to speed on current events.

And these guys want to be President? President of what? Afghanistan? Iran? Cat Man Doo? Holy Moly!

Once again, the flip-flopping merry-go-round.

Just flip flopping all night long.
Just flopping and flipping to a catchy song.

Well anyway, my feeble attempt to write a jingle for Mit Romney. Yes, he has done it again. First he says he won’t and then he says he will.

Now, here is an old tune I found that catches Romney’s campaign style. Here are the lyrics:
(Intro:)
You say it's yes, and then it's no;
You say you'll stay, and then you go -
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?

First you say you do, and then you don't,
And then you say you will, and then you won't;
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?

Now you want to play, and then it's no,
And when you say you'll stay, that's when you go -
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?

(Bridge:)
I've been sittin' on a fence, and it doesn't make much sense,
'Cause you keep me in suspense, and you know it.
You promise to return; when you don't I really burn,
Well, I guess I'll never learn, and I show it!

None the less, I dedicate the above song to the severely changeable Mit Romney. When will he ever learn? Call the Paramedics! “He’s done gone shot himself in the foot again.” Ouch!

Friday, February 17, 2012

There is the right way. Which is also the wrong way.

Those of you who are retired and receiving social security and Medicare or VA medical care, are you ready to give up those benefits? Go on your own? Maybe pay as you go? Pay on the lay away plan any surgical treatment needed?

I am talking especially to those of you who are registered Republican and plan to vote only Republican. I am saying this because your party leadership wants to eliminate your SSI benefits. “Too costly.” Never mind the FICA money collected through SSI and subsequently stolen by the Bush administration to fund two “Costly” and mostly unnecessary wars. They use to fund these kinds of wars by selling War Bonds. Remember? None the less, your party leadership wants your Social Security payments to make payment on the national debt. So they say.

Anyway, you might want to start looking for a job or buy a lottery ticket. Maybe go to an indigenous tribe casino and hope to get lucky.

Oh well, hardship can easily be overcome. Our parents had to do this when they were forced to ration and limit their food and housing during and after World War II. So sudden poverty may be coming to a homeless shelter near you. So get ready. Tighten your belts. Suck it in. Get ready for the big social crash. “Depression numbers two is on it’s way.” It’s the Republican way.

Hayseeds from the moon. Where did they come from?

While America is trying to dig its way out of a sagging economy and high unemployment, Rick Santorum wants to forbid your wives from using contraceptives. He prefers she be pregnant. Possibly even your daughters as well. “No more birth control for America,” Santorum might say. Even though millions of women have been using contraceptives for half a century. I guess he wants all women to be Roman Catholics. “Barefoot and overdue is better.

Then on another note, Mit Romney is in Michigan hammering the auto unions and its leadership. Bloviating about how awful the automobile industry should not have received a bail out. Plus he would have preferred it shut down. “A total failure,” Romney said. Oh, really? You couldn’t prove it in Detroit. Things are working well in the auto industry most Michiganders would say. “Bail out was a success.”

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Republican Party, these are your Republican Presidential candidates. Romney and Santorum. Clearly out of touch. Surely an understatement.

Are these the guys you want running America? Two guys who seem to have just crawled out of a ground hog hole. Clueless and unaware of reality. You want these two guys, Bimbo and Binky to lead America? Surely you jest.

Saturday, February 11, 2012

Only if you hadn't said all those things. Darn!

So Mit, what’s happening? Your lead is evaporating. Polls show Santorum is gaining on you. And, in some cases going ahead. So what is this? How do you explained this? A fluke? Bad luck? Your big mouth? Who knows?

Certainly it has nothing to do with you being out of touch does it? Maybe a little bit aloof and riding in first class too often perhaps. Maybe you should trade in your limo for a Pickup. Put on your sweats and sneakers and go walking out among them. Get your hands dirty. Go eat a little chicken-fry with the Bubbas.

Actually, nothing will help at this point. It’s too late. Your Ivy League Bizman image is cast and dyed. Too late to flip flop now. Too many media types are watching and listening. You’ve got the sound bite microphone. Reporters are reporting. Journalist are journalizing. Cable news is cabling. The nightly news is newsing. You, my friend, are on the hot seat. And, obviously you have said too much. Maybe you should just shut-up!

Thursday, February 9, 2012

Mom come get me! This can't be real.

What would it really be like to just ride in on a load of pumpkins? Then stop on Main Street America and hop off. Just arrived out of nowhere. Not knowing anything. Or anybody. Green and uninitiated. A freshman from the cornfields. Possibly ignorant of current events.

Then, to be confronted by TV, radio, and cable news. Broadcasting and bloviating the political events of the day. Haranguing rhetoric, shouting, fist banging, accusations, sound bites, red faced grimaces, narrowed eyes, and barking bla-bla-bla. Carrying on like you’ve never seen before. How scary that would be.

You look around taking in sights and sounds you’ve never witnessed before. Thinking you got off at the wrong bus stop. Possibly in a dangerous neighborhood. A neighborhood filled with troubled people. Possibly inhabitants not taking their prescribed ADD meds. Just a bunch of Hypertensive ridalin popping misfits. “Holy moly! When’s the next bus going back home?”

Then you might think, maybe this is where carnival Sideshows “Carny people” train. Yes, of course, this is Circus City. Sure that’s it. P T Barnum once lived here. That’s it. I’m lost and need to leave right away.

Get me out of here. These politicians people are nuts. They scare me. They almost look cannibal like. Mom come get me! Help!
