This country was bought and sold and paid for a long time ago. So, I have solved this little political dilemma for myself in a very simple way. EverybodyРІР‚в„ўs at the mall, scratchinРІР‚в„ў his ass, pickinРІР‚в„ў his nose, takinРІР‚в„ў his credit card out of his fanny pack and buyinРІР‚в„ў a pair of sneakers with lights in them. We donРІР‚в„ўt have people like that in this country. Yeah, the public sucks! ThatРІР‚в„ўs a nice campaign slogan for somebody: РІР‚СљThe public sucks! Fuck hope!

Where are all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans ready to step in and save the nation and lead the way? So, maybeРІР‚В¦maybeРІР‚В¦maybe itРІР‚в„ўs not the politicians who suck. YouРІР‚в„ўre just gunna wind up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. And term limits ainРІР‚в„ўt gunna do ya any good. If you have selfish, ignorant citizensРІР‚В¦if you have selfish, ignorant citizens, youРІР‚в„ўre gunna get selfish, ignorant leaders. They come from American parents, American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, American universities, and theyРІР‚в„ўre elected by American citizens. They donРІР‚в„ўt pass through a membrane from some other reality. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They donРІР‚в„ўt fall out of the sky.

(Yes, I know, the USS America is a humongous, gargantuan behemoth, and the rudder very, very, very small, but we can still make it sloooowly turn to a certain general heading if we all pile our votes in the wheelhouse. Your vote is what determines the direction this Great Ship America will turn. Local elections, special elections, and mid-terms, especially. Personally, I think we still need to hoist our fannies perpendicular and hike ourselves to the ballet box for all elections. Apparently, his last ballot was cast in 1972РІР‚вЂњfor McGovern. The only part I would take with a block of salt is the last in which he explains why he doesnРІР‚в„ўt vote. He pretty much smashed the nail squarely on the head. Given the nature of our current Administration, I thought it timely to revisit what George said years ago ( Back In Town HBO Special, 1996) about American politicians and the American people who elect them. I donРІР‚в„ўt always agree with everything he says, but I always listenРІР‚В¦ The late George Carlin was a genius with words, a deft dasher of conventional logic, and a master observer (and master-baiter!) of American cultural paradoxes.
