The nation is split 50/50. Whoever
wins this election half of American’s will be unhappy. If President Obama wins
the angry old white men will still be angry old white men. If Romney wins the
angry old white men will still be angry old white men. I am a registered
republican, I am old and I am white but I am not often angry so I don’t quite
fit. I have decided that I will be angry
no matter who wins this election. This will allow me to fit into the local
community, a camouflage of enraged blandness. I will be an uptight irascible
old man indignant with the gullibility of anyone that dares think different
than me! The next election campaign starts on Wednesday, November 7th.
We will throw the bums out!
The media is reporting that a
couple of billion dollars will be spent on the 2012 campaign, about $6.50 for every
man, woman and child in American or about $20 for each actual voter or a dollar
for ever Chinese in the world. We spend more for elections than any other country
in the world. No one else even gets close. As an angry old guy I certify that
the results are substandard. Just as with health care we spend more and get
less. We measure freedom of speech in dollars and we lead the world in freedom
of speech. There is no method for measuring truth in dollars so we have no
metric for truth in our freedom of speech, same for honesty or facts. I can’t
afford much free speech and have to settle for grousing as an angry old man, passing
my annoyance onto the next generation.
Hopefully this act will work. I
really don’t want my house burned down by a mob of angry old men.
