Defenestrating Thoughts from the Bivouac

With the giant pep-rallies, I mean, conventions, finally behind us, we can now get to some of the issues facing our country and the world today:

• The nationalization of Freddie and Fannie Mac is the largest nationalization in the history of the world. Larger than anything the Communists in the USSR or China have done. And by doing so, the US government has doubled the national debt in a matter of seconds, placing a unfathomable burden on the taxpayer.
• This nationalization has caused all much of the financial industry, the US automotive industry, and many more to get in line for a handout.
• We are mired in two wars and looking to pick a fight against Iran. And now also against Russia.
• Between the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the FISA legislation, we’ve lost an unprecedented amount of civil liberties.
• We are looking right into the teeth of a large recession, with unemployment skyrocketing, commodities fluctuating wildly, and little stability in currency.

Here’s what the two campaigns have been talking about:

• Is McCain the pig? Or is Palin the pig?
• Can McCain even use a computer?
• Is Obama a terrorist sympathizer?
• Was the Republican convention, with its dearth of minorities a big KKK rally?

So basically the two campaigns are the equivalent of fifth graders on the playground.

The media is above the name calling; they are busy interviewing the husbands, wives, siblings, parents, perhaps soon, the pets of the candidates.

Breaking News! Biden’s sister says he’s a “born leader”!

Whew… I’m glad we settled that.
