Ahhh.....politics....

The late Tip O'Neill use'ta say, "all politics is local politics!"
Wasn't original with him....he didn't 'zackly plagirize it, he was after all a politician 'n we all know politicians don't plagirize, they just forget (or don't know) who to attribute....(tip: when in doubt, give the credit to Will Rogers, Mark Twain or Willy Shakespeare)
Politicians are like actors (or jocks)...it ain't that they can't be bright, it's just that they are so self-absorbed as to seem stupid.... OK! Maybe some of 'em are really stupid...c'd be that we need to elect these kind of people so that those of us that are just of average smarts c'n feel superior....
What set this p'tick'lar rant in motion this morning was an item in 'The Bee' stating that the budget meeting scheduled for yesterday had been cancelled because the Democratic Speaker of the Assembly had not been able to figure out the flight schedule from LA to Sac....I have pre-teenage grandchildren that can read an airline schedule...they're probably more qualified to work on the state budget than Karen Bass....and ain't she a fine example of, dare I say, affirmative action....
Of course, I'm just an old white man (unfortunately not a rich one) 'n we've evidently screwed up not only this country but the entire world....ahhhh well, it's all just politics, ain't it?
