Well the Donald has been vetted with no clothes on. Apparently his story about having a high draft number and therefore not getting drafted for Vietnam is falling apart like a Rolex purchased on Times Square.

Seems like the Donald obtained four medical deferments in spite of being quite the athlete in college. Let’s see what spin he puts on this baby. Guess the ever rolling karma wheel is rolling towards the Donald’s heels on this one after he kowtowed to the birthers and wailed and strutted like a peacock onto the national headlines about Obama’s birth certificate.

I had not written about Michelle “Barbie ” Bachmann until now because I did not really know much about her and what little I did know begged the question: ” how in the hell did this genius ever get elected to office?” I am sorry folks but I do not think the people of Minnesota had on their headwarmers for this election.

I will not spend a lot of my valuable words on someone who has the views that she has. All I will say is that she is the “Stepford wife” of politics.

Well blow me down and call me shorty! There are some senators that are actually doing something good  for the american people that has nothing to do with special interests. And they are doing it with bipartisan appeal. BRAVO!

Senators Saxby Chambliss of Georgia,  Mike Crapo of Idaho, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Mark Warner of Virginia and Dick Durbin of Illinois have been working behind the scenes to craft a true bipartisan solution to the nations debt problem.

They are trying to bring forth a proposal to reign in the national debt which as of this writing is at 14.3 Trillion dollars, yes pilgrim that’s TRILLION.

What is so different is that three of these gentlemen are Democrats and three are Republicans but they are working together instead of the trench warfare that has been the norm in D.C. since the last presidential election. I thought the Hatfields and the Mc Coy’s were having a silly fight until I saw the antics of the current congress.

It will be tough and there has to be some sacrifices in all aspects of our lives such as defense, health care safety net and Social Security.  Some groups are going to squeal like Ned Beatty in Deliverance, some groups will spread misinformation like a publicist for Charlie Sheen.

I hope that when the proposal gets to D.C. that it is given a fair chance by all. We need to make sure we do not spiral into a financial morass that will drag the entire world economy into a recession or worse yet a depression.

The field for the Presidential race is starting to take shape much like the races before the Kentucky Derby determine who is in that prestigious race. Except there are true horses’ asses in the Presidential race and real horses in the Derby.

So far we have Mitt Romney, who reminds me of Lyle Waggoner on the old Carol Burnett show — all looks, no substance.

Newt Gingrich who has been accused of adultery, insensitivity, callousness, and a vision narrower that the blinders put on the horses in the Derby.

We have Sarah Palin who gives 65-year-old white bread Republican males the only hard-on they get monthly without the help of Viagra. Good ol’ Sarah makes Pamela Anderson look like a Nobel Peace prize winner.

Donald Trump, what can I say? Ego? Check. Cute wife? Check. Cute kids? Check.  Money? Check. Insufferable blowhard? Check. Will he win? Probably, but he would have to take a  huge pay cut, don’t think he has “los huevos” to do so.

The Dems? They have the great disappointment, a man who went in with such promise such a majority, the people behind him, a man who made history with his candidacy. While much must be said for his effort at trying to build bridges and consensus when he saw that the Republicans had turned into the NO party, he should have taken that steel fist and put it in a velvet glove and pounded the living shit out of the opposition when he had the chance.

Now the Dems do not have as much power as the first two years of President ICOULDHAVE’s term. They are now scurrying like rats on the Titanic trying to save their country club lifestyles, lifetime retirement, lifetime pensions, and lifetime medical benefits. We the people should have the same opportunity to get medical benefits at a decent price. After all politicians aren’t curing cancer or saving the world are they? We the people need to stop treating them like deities. They take off their pants one leg at a time like we do.

Instead of “Yes We Can” they should have the slogan: “Damn We Could Have.”

I am looking forward to more candidates declaring their intentions to run, the loonier the better. I once ran  for office in my town and I said that when I was little I had two aspirations, to be in the circus and to be in politics. Little did I know they were one and the same.
