A shot & a beer.....

So many politicos have law degrees, I’m wondering if they got into politics becuz’ they failed at Law......I’m minded that a few years back, we had an asst DA who ran for the DA’s office & got beat......He moved to San Jose where he opened a pizza parlor & went broke..... ya gotta wonder what kind of brain he had to go broke selling pizza & beer.....that being a sort of no-brainer business.....after going broke, he somehow managed to get a job managing the Ca state lottery....he didn’t last too awful long at that becuz’.......well, he was awful....he was such a bad attorney that he cudn’t even make it in politics & that’s just sad.......
I saw in the ‘Letters’ segment of the Bee several people that tho’t it was a good idea to elect a really smart person like Obama to be President...they claimed they wanted someone smarter than themselves...I think that’s another no-brainer....anyone who would write such a letter has to be dumber than a post & there ain’t a awful lot o’ posts running for President.....’cept for all them failed lawyers.....
I saw Hillary tossing back shots & chasing them with beer....I ain’t done that since I was....well, way back in the way back when time of my life.....a shot & a beer is a quick way to get alcohol into your system tho’...helps to numb down the knowledge that you ain’t part of the ‘Elite’...Heck! The elite don’t meet in bars that specialize in a shot & a beer........A shot & a beer...that’s like a boilermaker, ain’t it? My dad was a boilermaker & he liked his sour mash but he never chased it with a beer.....beer was for those warm afternoons tellin’ lies about way back when.....I s’pect that Jack McCain is the only candidate that ever really did the shot & beer thing anyway.....& I doubt that he did much of it once he got out’a school....takes the strong stomach of youth to be able to do that on any kind of regular basis.....
ah well, most of us are just part of that mass of humanity leading lives of quiet desperation.....
