VIO, Vote Incumbents Out. Not VIA, Starbucks’ latest gimmick.
Here’s my plan. It’s real simple, ‘cuz I have a Middle Aged Brain and also ‘cuz an astonishing number of my countrymen give every impression of being stupid.
VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT. Every one of ‘em, babies with the bath water. Clean slate — and let that be a lesson to them.
But WAAAAH will cry the political junkies and political strategerists who have “favorites” in the race. It’s not FA-A-A-AIR, they will say. That’s right — let THAT be a lesson to ‘em, too.
RACE speaks friggin’ volumes about elections, doesn’t it? You bet, the fastest rat in the pack wins.
If we set to arguing about whose favorites are bestest, we’ll end up arguing right up to the bell and almost certainly achieve less of an impact than is required under the circumstances. Anyone determined to see bona fide Reform in this country knows perfectly goddamned well that the insertion of a coupla fresh faces into the toxic stew isn’t gonna do diddly squat.
I submit that Lifetime Political Activists don’t really WANT to accomplish diddly squat. This mad swinging of the pendulum from broomstick-up-your-ass Morality to give-away-not-just-the-farm-but-also-the-country Freewheeling constitutes occupation and industry for another ELITE. Bully for them, eh? Scurrying around the country, conjuring up problems and whipping up emotions, then promising to fix the problems if only we will SEND MORE MOENY. Strategerizing and fundraising . . . people to see, places to go, things to do . . . planes, trains and automobiles . . . too hip, gotta go . . . have your Virtual Assistant get in touch with my Virtual Assistant.
Those members of Congress who ARE Good — though not VERY good, or we wouldn’t be in such deep shit — can be REALLY good by stepping aside while we completely re-populate Congress. Tell us where the paper clips and staples are. PROVIDE COUNSEL AS ELDER STATESMEN. Cream rises to the top. People can always be reelected, even promoted.
Just say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, and mean it. For a Change.

Great post.
Off topic, but latest headline: “Jet fighters divert three Camp David airspace violators over weekend”
Three times? It costs taxpayer dollars to scramble those fighters, are people stupid, or are they just testing the skies?? Obama isn’t the first president with no-fly zones, but this seems to happen a lot more to him in the last 2 years than it did to Bush in 8.
I think as tensions keep ratcheting up with the economy, multiple wars, and unrest at home and abroad, people need to be aware of what’s happening and when to get out of dodge if need be. I personally have my bug out bag ready and waiting. You don’t always get time to organize, you might get 10 seconds to leave you house for the last time. Can you grab everything you might need for the next few days or weeks in 10 seconds? I can.
Anyway,
Cheers!
