Political No show





What is the significance of the midterm election yesterday?
Not much.
No one who really reads in some detail about what the issues are and the solutions offered by various candidates - will find any solace or consternation in the ridiculous nonsense that passes for governance in the U.S. today. No, serious followers of politics might find themselves perplexed, disappointed, or downright depressed by the simplistic and skewed baloney, malarky, hypocrisy,
looniness, deception, stupidity.......that was the money-stuffed campaign season.

For me it has become a big shrug. I am delighted if anything comes out of Washington actually intended to assist ordinary Americans who struggle with a system ridiculously skewed in favor of the rich and powerful.

Here are my candidates for President, Vice-President and Treasury Secretary:
Bill Moyers, David Brooks and Paul Krugmann.

While I’m at it, I should add Curly Howard for Secretary of State.

Oh yeah, he’s dead.
