Kooky, Kooky Lend Me Your Comb

April 29, 2008
 
That was a song long ago related to an old television show entitled 77 Sunset Strip. Subliminally it somehow brings Election 2008 on the Democratic side with the accent on Barack Obama's failing campaign into a distorted and illogical focus. This primary, it's only the end of April, reminds me of the theatre of the absurd which as a literary format brought up a certain questioning of a typecast failed mission. Do you realize that the American voters are witnessing two individuals, in a pugilistic manner, insulting each other in an endless and trivial banter that has accomplished the abject failure of what appeared to be a promising and intellectually gifted candidate. Mr. Obama has spent much of his valuable time before the public apoligizing for what he has said to offend Americans or fighting and fussing with a book or movie deal hustler and in the mean time we, the voters would be happier being informed concerning matters such as the Recession, gas prices, a dwindling job market, the housing crisis, the credit crunch, nuclear proliferation and the health care system. These two should go off and join a debate team while Howard Dean, Gore, Kerry, Pelosi et al should find a way to bring in Hillary, who is no angel but has reality. All this time I thought Abbot and Costello were passe.

What Does It Take in 2008?

April 18, 2008
 
Just a quick observation-Do you recall the decisive termination of Gary Hart's Presidential bid many years ago all because a coltish and exceedingly comely Donna Rice sat on his lap with a lasivious smile fused on her pretty face and someone snapped it on a Polaroid Land Camera? That is all it took to ruin the candidacy of Mr. Hart, a bright and effective politician who since then has contributed to our country in a noble way as he has furthered many causes and agendas of great value and importance. A girl sat in his lap-he's yesterday's news. Please fast forward to 2008 and see if you can compare the many miscues, misstatements, allegations, deceptions, questionable events and buddies and on and on. Just think, Gary Hart was thrown out for doing nothing different at that particular moment in a very different era than any man worth his salt would have done and what he did was not improper. Did we the American voters over -scrutinize back then or are we too lax now in our insistence that Presidential hopefuls act legitimately and honestly in the course of their campaigns.

Should We Be Bowling At The Possible Eve Of Destruction?

April 2, 2008
 
Obama went bowling yesterday and couldn't stay out of the gutter. Then, in an absurd and comedic premeditated proffer, Hillary
through the media invited Obama to participate in a bowling match. 4,000 son's and daughters have died in Iraq. Millions of Americans have lost their homes and jobs or both. Corporate customer service banks rail on consumers asking for returns and credit card companies charge $35 over the limit fees and 18% interest at the same time. Miss a payment and its worse than the juice charged by the loan sharks in my old neighborhood. Retirement is becoming unreachable as famlies are working 24/7 to pay impossible energy and rent charges. The stock market is like the Cyclone at Coney Island, a roller coater of mammoth proportions. Wall Street tanks and the newspaper stand on Broad Street goes under along with the tie shop on William Street. We hear the word Recession dozens of times a day. Kids get  into more trouble than ever before. Election 2008 is Election 1968 with John Carlos raising his defiant arm in the face of the equally troubling hatred against him.
 
The two candidates, are going on a bowling date, that is what's most important. You lose no weight and burn no calories when bowling, a do-nothing activity that does not require a lot of brain power or specificity. It's a great idea for these two and will end up accomplishing about as much for the American people as they together have achieved to date. May I suggest a blue fish trip for their next outing?
