And Another Thing…..

Two more cents….

I don’t like Magicians.  I don’t like Politicians.  (For all that, I don’t like Morticians either….perhaps it’s the ‘cians’ ending to their titles that rubs me the wrong way.)

Magicians – I just don’t like them.  They are a weird social bunch.  They have this little secret code that they keep amongst themselves – to never divulge a trick – never give the inside scoop.  Oh please….get over yourselves.  Most of you are former nerdy children that got some pathetic magic kit as a kid and thought it could win you popularity through trickery.  Well – it doesn’t.  We are frustrated with you.  Sleight of hand…give me a break.  Card tricks – so passe.  Making people disappear in thin air, so last century.  Take your magic hat and capes and rabbits and get a new hobby.  (I hear Morticians make a good living….and if you can make a dead body levitate out of the casket, you might have one hell of a business.)

Politicans – I know hate is a strong word, but when it comes to Politicians, hate isn’t strong enough.  Why you ask?  Because they are Magicians without the tricks.  Politcians are liars.  For personal gain.  Oh, ok….maybe there is one or two of them out there that really want to do good for their community on the local level, blah, blah, blah….but for the higher up’s – they’ve got nothing but power on their minds.  I mean think about it – they make promises they can NEVER keep, they say what they think the voters want to hear, they tout their abilities to get things done (but we all know it takes a governing “body” of folks to get things done and that no Lone Ranger can create true change.)  They are well-dressed, well-rehearsed charlatans.  Talking heads.  Thieves.  And the worst thing is – is that it’s so obvious!  Do they really think we are that dumb that we can’t see through their charade?  Sure, we all want to believe that the next guy (or gal) in office will do better – will finally have the will of the people at the top of their agenda….but more often than not, we are let down…through their actions, through the web of bureaucracy that ties our political system into knots.  So I propose you don’t tell me anything – you shrug your shoulders as you run for office and you say, I’ll give it a shot.  And if you don’t make good on what we expected of you, you give the taxpayers a refund – of your salary the entire time you were in office.  Now, that’s a policy I can back.

OH – and lobbyists!  Don’t get me started.  There’s a special place down below for that lot. 

Magicians and Politicians.  I wish they would disappear.
