Another Friday has been bestowed upon us. I think it came just in time. This last week was hectic and it didn’t help to start it off with a Presidential debate. Someone said the debates are like two divorcing parents fighting over the custody of us and all we want to do is go live with grandma. That pretty much wraps it up. The good news is the bickering will be over by November 8th and then the fun of living under one of the incompetents will begin.
It would be nice to be able to ignore government but since we have allowed the Gov to step into every aspect of our lives that won’t be possible. Air , water, income, health, food, and safety have all been assigned to the Gov to handle. Those we elect to represent us no longer do that well which causes thinking folks to wonder why they are still representing us? We can only hang on and hope for the best. My JohnKu puts a positive spin on the situation. I hope you can laugh and have a wonderful weekend.

They argue and fight,
Finally one gets the nod. . .
There’s no difference.

Sad thing is there is a difference, but it’s only flavor of horror. Honestly, it feels like whoever wins will either start World War 3 or their followers will kickoff a second Civil War.

Depends on how much the chads hang I suppose. I would offer the Gov my “Hang Free Chad” system but would probably be turned down. “Who wants decisiveness in an election?” would be the comment.
