76 Buffoons....

76 Buffoons lead the big parade…
Sumtimes, y’just gotta wonder what in the H E double L is going on in the minds of politicians around the world…I know, I know…our own homegrown buffoons are pretty damn entertaining…often frustrating…sumtimes make you angry enuff that you just want’a break glass…or sumthin’ equally as useless…
Seems t’be part ’n parcel of the world-wide Rules of The Political Game. I don’t know, does it make you wonder who you’d vote for if this ‘globalization’ thing ever really gets off the ground…would we have conventions in…London, Paris, Brussels…maybe Beijing?  Delegates from around the world casting their vote for the candidate of choice…would we have ‘Super Delegates’ from Superpowers whose vote would be worth ten times the vote of an ordinary delegate?  If we think life is complicated now, OMG!…Can’t you just hear them now?  A representative from, oh, say Ghana stands in front of world-wide television cameras and says loudly, “GHANA  PROUDLY  CASTS ITS THREE/FIFTHS VOTE FOR ANGELA MERKEL…or whoever!  Maybe Donald Trump…or his counterpart from wherever?  
 I can’t even begin to imagine how much money it’d cost to run for President of the world…
And how many parties would we have?  Just imagine all the ‘minor’ politicians around the world dipping their fingers in the pot to get their own little taste of the stew…
I don’t know what South America would do with all the unemployed military juntas (whatever they are)…and the Warlords of southeast Asia…there wouldn’t be a whole lot of use for them either…
And if statistics show the way to the truth, would we have a 1% around the world collecting 99% of the wealth, a teeny tiny middle class aching to somehow get to be part of that 1% and the majority of the world population, and only God knows how many actual persons that’d  be, totally dependent upon the largess (read leavings) of those brilliant souls that, out of the goodness of their hearts, merely want to show the rest of us the way to the light?
Ah, you know strange thoughts lurk in the minds of insomniacs…Thank God it’s Friday…Justin
