Zeitegist and party pup, those are either of you two’s nuttiest posts ever or the most profound. Not because of the predictions of the country going to hell, but for the realization that they are all the same, only the logo is different.
Initially I thought you guys were reading bill simmons’ article about the best new drink invention of the year and decided to try a few. In case you missed it, you make an arnold palmer (ice tea and lemonade) then add two shots of vodka and call it a john daly. I’m still laughing inside about it.
Staying apolitical, your guy sucked, their guy sucks and most of the past guys sucked, the next few guys or gals will suck too, but all in different ways. We will survive, we won’t become russia or join the third world, the country is no stranger to crappy politicians, in fact it is essential. If a president had a 99% approval rating, regardless of their party, that would scare me. As long as half the country is complaining, all is well, that’s the beauty of the two party system, they couldn’t agree on how to pick up $100 bills off the ground, if they could, they would actually have some power to affect my life.
This calls for a little LAO TZU:
“Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you”
“One who is too insistent on his own views, finds few to agree with him.”
and the most applicable
“The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, ‘We did it ourselves.’ ”
