Fighting politicians remind us not to get uppity with our expectations
Well, I don’t know about any of you, but frankly I’ve been concerned with all these presidential debates about boring crap like “policy”. Sure, Joe Biden made things a bit interesting last night schooling Paul Ryan…rightly accusing Ryan of coldly lying to the American public, then demonstrating how the American public responds much better to being lied to in an animated, chummy fashion. But these debates have mostly consisted of lengthy discussions about dry topics like “issues” and “policy”, occasionally venturing so far that a candidate has expressed an actual opinion about what the hell we should do about them.
Berman v. Sherman – Tonight on KTLA
After several years of American politics being a beer-and-popcorn sideshow of infantile, ignorant idiots doing nothing but slinging mud at each other while millions of unemployed entertain themselves mulling over how long it will be before the trillions of dollars we’re hemorrhaging makes it necessary to starting paying interest on our debts to China by conscripting young boys and girls to become “escorts” for the politburo……well, after all this time, sudden talk about “planning” and “the future” is quite unnerving.
Thank God my souring mood was saved by these two fine gentlemen, Democratic Representatives Brad Sherman and Howard Berman of California. (It always has to be California, doesn’t it….)
Berman and Sherman – Frog and Toad
Even a fat, asthmatic grade school bully would be ashamed
Read the full story yourself – I’m about to go cut myself as penance for wasting ten minutes of my life writing about these two turds – but here are the highlights:
- Two career politicians from the same party
- California redistricting = gravy train gone, must actually compete for a job
- Having no actual life skills, race to be decided with the best tool of politics – enormous money.
- Functionally equivalent bags of flesh have nothing to distinguish themselves by and no experience with actual competition
- So there’s obviously only one way to settle it.
