election cycles

November 17th, 2008

     I been watching this election now for – oh, I don’t know, 2 years, maybe 3, maybe more.  McCain was practically a kid when this gauntlet started and Obama was barely born.  It’s getting to the point where you campaign longer than you serve — especially if you’re a one termer.  Basically we’re running an election all the time, no respite for the weak or the tired or the terminally bored.  Personally I think these campaigns must be subsidized by the news media, something to take our minds off the economy or the wars, see who slips up or makes the worst gaffe or dies of old age.
 

    I’m gonna die of old age before we get to November and I got 3 to 1 odds John McCain will end up in a nursing home before the final results are in — and if we get another Florida recount debacle, McCain could end up being our first president over 100 years old.
 

    I don’t even want to get started on the cost of these national sports events.  If we’re trying to promote democracy to the rest of the world, well, all I can say is we probably convinced them they’ll never afford it.  I mean, given the choice of feeding your nation or providing limited health care or electing a President, take your pick.  But you only get One…..
