DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: AMERICAN POLITICS

This week during another stellar, Emmy worthy episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart was the ONLY news network to mention any of the problems being raised in the Middle East, highlight the non disparities between our two so called political parties, and wrote a brilliant segment titled "I Give Up." This sums up everything I feel about modern day politics. In it, Stewart rallies against the hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle, showing clips of various Representatives shooting down a measure to help firefighters and police who got sick after 9/11 for the stupidest of reasons. It was the saddest thing I ever seen. It's gotten so bad in Washington with corruption and divisiveness that NOTHING will be accomplished, no matter how important or trivial. They two sides cannot agree on anything. Thus we lead ourselves to out ultimate demise. Our roads are crumbling, as anyone driving down Route 93 found out this week when three out of four lanes disappeared as the bridge beneath it gave way some of it's surface concrete. This comes hot on the heels of a guy who was almost killed in Boston near the Science Center when a chunk of concrete from the overpass came loss and barely missed him. The Big Dig took one person's life already and that as brand new. How long before our crumbling infrastructure does just that and crumbles? We don't have the money for any of this. But on the same day as all this is happening comes another news report of various industries and unions standing together and demanding that nothing change in Social Security. Even though it's sucking us dry and will eventually go bankrupt sooner than later and then we'll have nothing. These are the people leading us right into oblivion. They cry something has to change but can't sacrifice enough to make it happen. They don't want to give up anything. And there in lies the problem. We as a species have reached the end of our rope. Our greed is about to hang us all. If I were alone in this thought I'd be less worried. But recently others have contacted me, people who don't spook easily, and they have started to quietly stockpile things again. It might be a good idea for anyone reading this to do the same. Get a gun and lots of ammo if you can afford it. If this is what we can look forward to "saving us," these awful men with nothing but Greed and Lust in their hearts, then God save us all. All politicians are this week's indeed Douchebag. Pray for a miracle because we could certainly use one. It is said in the final days Jesus will return to fight the war against the demons. Hopefully, he's out there and he will be as described in the Bible, "He will come not in peace but as a sword."
