Adrift on a sea of apathy.....

......or sumthin’ like, maybe a little too much selfpity altho’ I don’t know why..... I’m told the cancer is gone and I only have one more Chemo session to endure. I should be pretty happy about all that but for whatever reason I’ve been struggling with the simplest things......like getting out of bed or getting up from my chair......even taking a shower is a chore that takes some gutting up and leaves me feeling exhausted.
Big ol whiny crybaby, that’s me.....
Could be worse, I guess....I c’d be a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE!
I wuz surprized t’other nite when Brian Williams (NBC) announced that THE MEDIA had got it all wrong. ‘Course, he then modified that statement by adding that they would undoubtedly get it all wrong again in a few more weeks. I wonder what he thinks is gonna take ‘em so long to screw up again. To err is human nature, to err multiple times on nat’l teevee is sheer determination fueled by gargantuan egoism.
I was also pleased to learn that THE MEDIA had rediscovered the fact that we are still a two-party nation and the republicans are not going to go away quietly. According to THE MEDIA, this is a two person race, either Clinton or Obama with the ever smarmy ambulance chaser, Edwards, waiting patiently for his 1/3 cut of the pie.........(well, that’s what lawyers do, don’t they?)
As far as the rest of the field is concerned, it’s like a horse race on a muddy track. You can’t tell who is who without a scorecard and the only reason they’re hanging in there is the hope that the front-runners will pile up in a tangle of broken limbs. Well, if they were horses, we c’d shoot ‘em but as they’re Pro Pols, God help us, they’ll turn into pundits and be around f’ever.
