Entry: Changing Course Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/changing_course#21441 Post contents: @ Nucci & Bill W., NH Thats some parched desert we're crossing, from the wastes of disaffection to the chaste and disciplined realm of Paul to the florid and expansive realm of Obama. Usually, the politicians try and create single issue politics to tame distracted voters but with Mr. Bush's war on sanity, they are relieved of this sordid task. It's why Nucci can assert that voters will stay home in droves and be within the realm of the possible (after all a 45% turnout is considered good these days) while Bill WNH can cling to long shot Paul but accept Obama and echo the sentiments of many. The majority of the people remain somehow convinced that their government can be redeemed and having tired of someone with the speaking skills of a resentful juvenile, they look to the smooth blandishments of a very poised gentleman telling them what they want to hear....without a simple clue as to the hard slogging that will be required to wrench the public's head from their sphincter hat. Electing a President solves nothing. The entire government must be slapped back into an understanding of it's duties and obligations and that will not happen until either disaster or extreme pain makes continuing the current charade impossible. By that point, the odds favor the ascendance of some crusading nutcase reminiscent of the twisted little sociopath spawned by the Weimar Era. Yes My FREEENNNZZZ, , the spirited idiocy we have on tap will come to make Mexican Wrestling look like High Tea at the Dorchester Hotel. It makes one remember the single most important rare lapse of prescience on the part of the omni-prepared Founders: not locating Washington D.C. in a place more regularly impacted by Natural Disaster. I wouldn't move though, the show is about to turn professionally sick and this is where rubber hits the road and the Fat Lady sings her best Aria. Sent at: 2008 11 23
