What a week it has been since our last Weekender. Anthony Weiner continues to fight for his political survival. His defenders state that he must stay in office because he has never done anything else. Yes, Anthony the narcissistic exhibitionist is a “CAREER POLITICIAN” and is not equipped for any other line of work. Aren’t we and his brain-dead constituents the lucky ones? His twisted little arrogant mind has been solely dedicated to “public service” and texting graphic pictures of his intimate body parts to barely-known female acquaintances while his wife works in another government job. Weiner should be the poster boy for cultural depravity, career politics, big government, elitist tyrants. As a resident of Brooklyn, I’m certain there’s a 7-11 there somewhere where he could work the night shift. Go, little man, go. Get outta my sight. Your whining, your arrogance, your sick mind, your smug belief that you know more than the people … make me ill. Just go, and the lunk-heads of New York will find your clone to represent them.
Had a terrific vacation in the Outer Banks…lots of writing and reading although my progress with each was less than I had hoped. It’s good to be home. Frosty was thrilled to see his “treat master” again. Thanks to PJ, Heather, Sully and Oliver for watching my faithful canine companion for the past week or so. He doesn’t look as if he missed any meals.
One of the greatest benefits from a week of vacation is the opportunity for thinking. I’ve returned with loads of topics for future columns plus some exploratory threads for the book (books). Now comes the research and development into 700-word bites. While in North Carolina, I wrote 4 columns and attempted to use my location or situation thematically. Day one featured the Wright Brothers (Kitty Hawk), day two was a metaphorical discussion of the tides, the third day reviewed the importance of birthdays (I had my 65th on Monday), and the fourth column revolved around returning home. Some of the “Write-for-the-moment” exercises worked better than others, but it was an enjoyable challenge.
The newscasts informed me that the GOP House was yielding some ground on the budget cut/debt ceiling ratio. I was neither surprised nor dismayed. I expected it. Despite the label or letter behind the politician’s name, they are all CAREER POLITICIANS who will not hesitate to spend your money and compromise your freedom away. An email thread contained an impressive list of GOP proposed budget cuts…proposals and lists mean nothing, legislation and passage mean something, bureaucratic interpretation means everything.
So Newtie’s third wife, Calista, has driven off 15 professional political staffers from his campaign. One, we should ban all “professional political types” (Just kidding, I’m a libertarian, after all), Newt should get a clue about his prospects, the bond between spouses should always supersede other relationships even if it is professionally harmful.
Mitt thinks we are responsible for warming the planet. No problem, his Massachusetts version of socialized medicine can treat us all for sunburn. Broadcaster Mike Church calls him “Mitt for brains….” graphic and appropriate.
We’ll be on WSPD this week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday…6:00pm to 7:00pm, 1370 AM. www.wspd.com
Our column is now being distributed in California as our daily ruminations are slowly spreading across the fruited plain. Hope that I don’t run out of ideas before the spread has ended. I’ve been engaged in political column writing for about 18 months with the daily version for about 5 months. I feel like the Grandma Moses of political-philosophical punditry. It’s fun, it’s exhausting, it’s exhilarating and it’s frustrating at times. This is a very selfish undertaking as I attempt to make some sense of the goings-on in our world. Thank you for sharing it with me.
Monday’s column is “Howdy Duty.” Enjoy your Sunday, hug your family and always work for liberty.
