Mid February & no news doesn't mean the media shuts up.........
It’s been a long, lazy Sunday.....sunshiny & warmish, a fine faux Spring day before a holiday...George’s B’day tomorrow......s’pect there’ll be sales galore for Prez Day but I intend to miss all of them......(it’s the economy, stupid).....not really but if sales don’t live up to dreams, that’s what the media will say.......
‘Course, the media also say that Obama’s got the election all sewed up & is bound to be our next Prez....
Coupl’a months ago, that’s what they were saying about Hillary....& their excuse is.....”that’s what the polls are saying.”.....and we all know how accurate the polls have been this year.
According to the pundits, Geo Bush has been so bad as Prez that the Repubs will likely not survive as a party at all......it’s gonna be Dems all the way.....and the world will be a better place..(is that a song lyric?)
Can it be that since the pollsters have it all wrong this year that the pundits may also have it all wrong.AND (GASP!) could the media be wrong as well......might we indeed have another republican presidency hard on the heels of one of the most reviled Presidents since A. Lincoln?
You heard me. Our most revered President, Abraham Lincoln, was one of the most reviled politicians of that turbulent era. The media despised him and took every opportunity to mock and dismiss him. Cartoonists of the day showed him as an ugly, ungainly apeman, a barely literate, uncouth and boorish backwoodsman lacking in wit, charm & education that should never have been allowed at the same podium with his more distinguished opponents. (Quick! Name Lincolns opponents).........
Now, I’m not saying that George Bush will go down in history as one of our better Presidents but I’m not at all sure that history will be any kinder to any of his opponents. Fortunately for most of us, history is pretty dismissive of us all. And none more deserving, I suppose. Justin Other Smith
