Don’t tell me I’m crazy; it’s the freakin’ political world that’s gone nuts. The media is so in the tank for a “politician” who wants to “remake America“, who supports a Civilian National Security Force, has little kids singing creepy songs in praise of his name, while adults chant like supplicants possessed, that they ignore his complete lack of experience, questionable associations and miles-long list of incomprehensible gaffes while they excoriate another politician for her more extensive resume, though she’s not even running against him. Meanwhile, the guy running with this “politician” is so known for sticking his foot in his mouth that even their political allies call him stupid.
If that’s not bad enough, if elected, this “politician” would preside over a country undergoing a complete restructuring of it’s banking industry, a country that is about to bailout Wall Street with 700 billion dollars plus of taxpayer money. This comes after re-naming the “bailout” a “rescue” in an attempt to placate disgruntled voters who expressed their displeasure to lawmakers, only to seem to change their minds after the overloaded House website was shut down. Makes you wonder how Congress got the message.
Yet, nobody mentions the other bailouts, like the one in March for JP Morgan Chase, or the 630 billion the Fed pumped into the global financial market Sept. 29, or the other 630 billion dollar government spending bill, including 25 billion bucks for automakers, that Bush signed Tuesday. And, heaven forbid anyone from talking about monies paid to Congress by companies involved in the big bailout, or question donations to the “politician” benefiting most with voters from the country’s economic troubles, even when those donations come from the same banking industry whose executives advise him, like Jamie Dimon and William Daley (Chicago mayor, Richard’s brother) of JP Morgan Chase. If you’re not going to ask about those guys, you certainly won’t pay attention to donors to the “politician” like Mr. Good Will or Mr. Doodad Pro. Naaah, everything’s fine.
Even a couple of documentaries about voter fraud the “politician” might have committed wouldn’t matter. He is The One, he must not be questioned! Even people he has trashed and accused of horrible things will bow to him and do his bidding.
So, while I may seem to be a tad irrational in my daily ranting about this “politician,” I assure you, I am not. In a society gone mad, when the deck seems stacked against you, and the other side is just as bad, insanity is relative, anyway.

Just Say No Deal
Great roundup. Every few days I stop by here on my sanity rounds.
This year’s election is crazy-making. What happened to people? They’re so eager for a leader – are they completely empty inside?
