True, but it is only a temporary fix.

Frazzled...

Hey, Jeffpinionated-do you think we would both lose our respected neighbor status if we start talking about manpons and thongs again?

 We Can only hope so.  Respect isn't as fun as disrespect.

True, but it is only a temporary fix.

At my age, temporary is all I need. Ha Ha

Yeah that's a good one.

It's so tough to feel good about the next election when all the previous winner gets done is try to fix the problems the previous one left behind, then take the blame for that. Then the next one gets the blame for what the first two did or didn't do, then  promises to fix EVERYTHING and  then get mired in politics as usual,. Then that one gets the blame for the ones he didn't fix or caused, while trying to fix the first three and finally you decide like many did in 2004, that your vote doesn't count anyway and stay home on election night or like you or another stated, write in Mickey and Minnie Mouse, but the more I think about that. I think I would actually prefer Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd for vp.

But, we die by our own hand at times and failure should teach us not defeat us. Hope shines eternal if we only believe, and that.... we Americans are dearly good at.

God Bless.

 I was the one who suggested Mickey, but i could get behind Bugs. He is definitely charismatic and a bit of a maverick, pardon the pun. Taz would be better suited for Defense dept. His mere presence strikes fear in those around him. Although i think Porky Pig would make a better V.P. cuz afterall it wouldnt be right for the V.P. to be trying to have the prez for dinner. Elmer is just too ill tempered for that position.

While my comments are all in great fun, realistically we will never get what we need out of our politicians because first and foremost they owe the people who financed thier rise to power.
