The day is starting off, as usual, two cups of coffee, daily ritual paper in hand.......yup still alive and kicking. Got so many things to do, just can't decide what to do first...........so guess I'll just rest today and think on how to aggravate Margot. The more I think about what I just wrote, the more I feel I should run for an elected office. I've got all the qualifications that our present officials have. I check my pulse.....or polls every so often, I spend time in the rest room so apparently I am full of (you know what) I have an opinion, (and theirs is wrong) I do very little (daily) or nothing at all, I criticize what the other side is doing but am keeping my (correct) thoughts to myself until I'm able to find another person with the same idea as mine and most importantly I know what the constitution says.........and if I forget for a moment, I can always look it up on Google.
I must admit, that I do read the paper each day with the interest of a dead fish. I only look at what I think is going to lead to me laughing.....I hate reading about bad news, needless to say the paper for reason, is getting smaller and smaller in size. Nowadays, it seems that our politicians are becoming better at trash talking than some of the greatest basketball players that stood on the hardwood. It seems that whenever I open the paper, turn on the TV or radio, all I hear is "he promised but he lied" "he hasn't kept his promise" they just don't understand""they did not do their job" So many negatives!!! I sure did a lousy job in my voting. This time I promise to do better........oh oh! another promise..........but this time I will VOTE FOR MYSELF!!!!!! that way , I know what I'm really getting. Then again, do I really want to divulge the things that I don't really think matters? Am I willing to have people question why I didn't have a passport before the age of 18? Why I made 547 trips outside the USA over a period of 50 years? Am I willing to have people look at my high school scores or why I went to a university outside the USA or why I didn't graduate from University (like it really makes a difference) I know two of the riches men in the world that didn't graduate, but instead can BUY THIS COUNTRY. Do I really want people to know...........how many women, I MAY have been with...........Or why I never considered TAKING DRUGS, or why I drive a foreign car. Will they question my religion, I was born into? If I'm a true Catholic, why do I believe in pro-choice, why don't I go to church each and every Sunday and why do I eat meat on Friday? If I am a true American, why don't I carry a gun to the Seattle Mariner baseball games, or worst, If I'm really a New Yorker, why am I not a Yankee or Mets fan. The answer is very simple, BECAUSE!!!!!
We did have one man promise to be a uniter.............not a divider...........low and behold, he divided not only his country, BUT THE WORLD. Yet, I heard no comments. We also had a man, that promised change....that didn't work either, simply because there are those that do not want change.......or at least change that they don't want..........Keep things the same. they say
Looking back, I can now understand the true meaning of " Monday morning quarterbacking" Do nothing, until the other team does it and then..........CRITICIZE IT. Tell everyone how terrible it was, how stupid and dangerous it was..............BUT NEVER, NEVER OFFER A SUGGESTION!!!!! Just keep saying The American people don't want this........never, never say who those American people are.
Shall I run for office? Do I really want to be water commissioner? Will I use this powerful position to intimidate?........."""".The next time your dog craps on my lawn.........I'm gonna shut your water off!!!!!""""
YOU BET I WOULD!!!! BUT THEN I WOULD BE LIKE EVERY OTHER POLITICIAN.
So guess I'll just stay the same old lovable guy I am, wake up each day, check the newspaper, have my two cups of coffee, figure out how I will aggravate Margot today, Think about how ........I.......and Ms. America can bring peace to the world..............but, like the Liberal in me, keeps pressing my button, I will continue to offer my suggestions...to myself.............like it or not.
KEEP SMILING :)
