Fun with Politics (13)

Watching the news often raises more questions than it answers; without fail, I end up on the Internet afterwards, frantically trying to find out what the hell everybody is talking about. For instance, why are so many people wetting their panties over Hillary’s tax returns? Call me naive, but what are they expecting to find?

 

Hillary is secretly funding Al Qaida training camps! She’s on Halliburton’s payroll! She’s paid $10,000 for Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby!

 

I’m afraid it’s nothing that exciting. And unless somebody out there makes like a daddy penguin, swallows her tax papers whole, digests, pukes them back up and then forces them down my throat, I’m not going to lose any sleep over this.

 

Sorry for the run-on sentence; I’m irritated.

I can barely stand to look at my own taxes, -no; of course I haven’t done them yet- so why do I want to look at hers?

 

That debate wasn’t exciting anyway. First of all, CNN disappointed in that they didn’t do their usual thing: show the whole soap opera, chew on it for a while, then show it again, and follow up with a promise to repeat it two more times in the next 48 hours. Second, they wasted valuable air time by letting King visit with Valerie Bertinelli. Sigh.  Jennie Craig, I hate you. Please go away.

 

Honestly, the only happy news today, as far as I’m concerned, came from the NY Philharmonic spreading goodwill In North Korea.  Art beats politics every time, doesn’t it?
