Five Political Facts and Associations

Roused in thee Armchair

Pelosi and Bush

by Ben Tinker

The Establishment is what it is, a game, like the stock market, rules are made by the players. That said, I appreciate players who, at the very least, will pay lip service to beliefs I share, as opposed to to an administration that boldly defies international law, checks and balances, and common human decency. I'm sure I would be bored to tears with light dinner convo avec Pelosi, Feinstein, et al, but if that light din convo was with Dick Chains or Emp Temp, I would be more inclined to throw up on their laps, much like Sr. did to some Asian years ago, then perhaps throttle them for making more dark the already dark future of the world. These are the elite. These are our masters. They are corrupt, if not corruptible. I can't imagine doing the job. Perhaps, like a cop, one has to be a megalomaniac or narcissistic or both in order to pursue... Yeats is on my side on this one: "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity"
