Campaign Season
Again!
by Roger Freed
OH, GOD! IT'S
NOT THAT TIME AGAIN IS IT???????
Noooooooooooooooo!
It can't be! It's inhumane! Its monstrous!
It just can't be true!
IT CAN'T BE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN SEASON AGAIN!!!!!!!
It seems like the last one just ended. I still
haven't recovered from that one yet.
The scars haven't even totally healed over.
Has it really been two years?
I wonder what happened to that other guy who was
President....... What's his name?......the black
guy....
Where is he now?
I know part of the reason it seems like it it has
been so short. That is because this Donald guy
never stopped campaigning. It seems like he
thinks that campaigning is his real job and he
just does something sort of Presidential once in
a while to make it look like he is really doing
something practical.
Why are all these Democrats trying to get in the
act? Do they think this is tryouts for Cirque du
Soleil or something? Do they realize that only
one can be President? Wouldn't it be easier and
less costly to just make them into a lynch mob
and give 'The Man' another tie to wear other than
that red one. Or just use the red one- it
certainly is long enough.
This is way too early for this tummy rot to start.
The election is still over a year and a half away.
Do we have to start gorging ourselves now? It is
like eating a salad with mixed fruits and
vegetables in it with a dressing of the most
acidic vinegar possible and the most saccharine
sauce imaginable mixed together. The indigestion
lasts for two years. The bowel movement when it
is finally expelled is like the one that killed
Presley. The after taste makes you want to fast
for a year afterwards. It leaves the populace
with withered guts that cannot tolerate any more
stress (or any more sh**). It sends the
collective blood pressure into levels that could
threaten to blow a collective vein.
This super frat party every four years is just
too much. Why don't we just bring Coliseums back
into vogue and let them fight it out there with
swords. If they chicken out we add lions to the
mix. If we are lucky there would eventually be so
few candidates that we would finally be left in
peace. And that would be a new and wonderful
thing.
No campaigning.
No stupid slogans.
No tacky posters.
No obnoxious and bloated campaign rallys.
No yahoo shouting and applauding over every
ignorant thing the candidate uses to pry open the
national consciousness.
The country of Belgium got so locked up
politically a few years ago that they went
without a government for two years. The citizens
went out and celebrated their freedom on both
anniversaries.
That sounds like a wonderful thing......
As John Lennon once sang- “Just Imagine....”
