Knock, Knock.
I usually try to keep my politics directly out of this blog, mainly because they'd irritate half of you and enthrall the other half, which only leads to a) hurt feelings b) hate mail, or c) a hearty round of "ooh, yeahs!" And since I'm being particularly selfish with this space and making it all about ME, ME, ME!, I have purposely chosen to keep it politically neutral.
But I saw this joke online today and it made me laugh, so here it is.
Knock knock
Who's there?
Orange
Orange who?
Orange you glad you are not George Bush, who's approval level is at an all time lowest level of 47 percent?
So as you’ve probably determined, I’m not a wild fan of the guy in the Oval Office. Funny how being lied to by your Commander in Chief over and over again can do that to a fellow. I still haven’t heard one good reason why 1,800 Americans died in Iraq. I’m not sure how cutting taxes is supposed to help the average person find a job or afford a home. And I really don’t like that smirk he gets on his mug when he’s threatening other countries to “bring it on”.
I wrote a political column for the local newspaper (a “Left vs. Right” opinion feature) for almost two years, where I took on the liberal point of view in a town that’s 80% conservative. (And a good portion of those are ultra-right wing conservatives.) I took a lot of heat at times for my columns – what’d you expect when you stick your neck out and criticize GOP policies? – but NOT ONCE did I ever receive any hate mail when I bashed Bush. Oh, and did I bash him. It was fun, actually. I called him on the carpet time and time again. I compared him to Pinocchio. I knocked him so much, I was just waiting for the Feds to come knocking on my door. (Thank God for the First Amendment, that’s all I can say.)
I keep hoping that one of these days ol’ Georgie will wake up and realize what a mess he’s made of things, and will actually take a step or two to rectify the fiasco. Sigh – keep dreaming, Tommy. It ain’t happening.
But perhaps the American public is waking up – check out those poll numbers. He’s snowed us with artificial wars and hyped-up threats of terrorism. He thinks he can get away with murder – or at least sending good Americans to die in a pointless war. But what if the tide were turning - maybe we’re not as dumb as W Boy thinks we are. Just imagine where he and his cronies would be then... and where we might go.
It may be a better day tomorrow after all.
