Crazier and crazier

McCain blew it. He had a shot at winning but he wanted to surprise us and he certainly did.
He picked an ex beauty queen governor of the unimportant state of Alaska as VP. She is an
attractive woman, no doubt. Is she ready to be president if something should happen to the
wrinkly gray haired presidential candidate ?

Obama has promised us to cure all that is wrong with the country and indeed, the world. I don't believe that he, or anyone else could do all he has promised. The adulation that his followers are
showing is hard to overcome. He is being treated as if he were the second coming. He almost blew it when he selected Biden, that loquacious, bullying, self satisfied stuffed shirt. He has never been in the real world. His entire adult life has been in the senate.

But back to Obama: He promises to fix social security, the federal deficit, the oil crises among
other things. It is not going to happen since it is politically not possible. I wish it were.

I promise not to vent my political thoughts again, at least until after the election.

ARE POLITICIANS STUPID /

I have , ex post facto, put myself in John McCain's shoes, just for a moment.

Reporter: How many houses do you own ?
McCain : What a peculiar question. Why do you ask ?
Reporter : 1) The people have a need to know.
2)The people have a right to know.
McCain : 1) Why do the people need to know ?
2) I don't find the right to know how many homes I own anywhere in the constitution.

Had a repartee such as this taken place I would say "McCain for president-hurray ". Instead I say, I will vote for McCain, ho hum. Why would I do this ? Because his stupid, thoughtless answer is more than matched by equally stupid statements by Barak Hussein Obama.

OLYMPICS

I want to love the Olympics. How difficult it is to enjoy it. We can start off with the opening ceremony. This exaggerated garish display borders on the ridiculous. No one will ever top the Chinese display.
The wonderful International Olympic committee, this graft ridden group of crooks with their hands out for the perks which most countries seem willing to give them, seem willing to add and add still more events which no one cares about. Synchronized swimming and diving pop into
mind at once. Add to that beach volleyball, soft ball (blessedly not to happen next time), water polo (really played nowhere in the world except in the Olympics), soccer (They already have their world cup), and many others to numerous to name.
Next come some of the legitimate events, ruined by the odd Olympic rules. Boxing has rules which changed the sport completely. Now it is jump in, try to strike a blow and clinch. The five corrupt judges press a button within one second if they think a blow has landed. The blow must be by the white(front) part of the glove to the front of the opponent. Result, some poor slob can get the tar beaten out of him and still win. It happens very often.
Weight lifting and wrestling are legit but really boring to watch. Fencing (really ) is hardly a useful thing to be having in this day.
NBC is the number one sinner in ruining the Olympics. They dedicate hour upon hour upon the crappy little things while we wait patiently for Gymnastics (How about those pathetic little undersized, undeveloped robots that the Chinese put out for our edification) only to watch the female floor exercises with young girls wriggling about in the most inappropriate manner.
I especially like track and field. NBC will likely find a way to ruin that also.
