G’morning.......the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the leafblowers are blowing.....God’s in his Heaven and all’s right with the world.....NOT!.....The economy is a mess, politicians are politicking, Israeli’s are retaliating against Arabs....in other words, SNAFU! Situation is normal, the world is still on a collision course with itself.
Which is pre-zackly where it’s been as long as I’ve been here....and where it was long before I got here.......so, its’ not my fault. And contrary to popular belief, it ain’t really George’s fault either. ‘Course, you’d think that he might have been able to alleviate the situation at least a little bit but you’d be wrong.
There have been men in history that have had great impact on the world. And women, too. Always, glass ceilings or no. The world has had a number of visionaries but George ain’t one of them. George is a politician. As all of our Presidents have been. As are the leaders of all the countries on this ever-spinning world of ours.
Politics can begin and end wars; can be responsible for inflicting misery & pain on the populace; can move mountains, create deserts, and float boats in the air. But, the earth will continue to spin, the sun will continue to shine, and the human condition will endure.
No matter what the ‘great’ men of the world do or say, and no matter what you and I do or say, the human condition will endure.
To quote Barney Miller, “that’s the way it is and there ain’t anything you can do about it.”
Enjoy the show, vote for whoever you damn well please and keep in mind that a moving target is harder to hit.
