I came out of Church yesterday and there were 3 political flyers on my windshield. I found that totally appalling. One said, "which one shares our values?", and my first thought was, neither.....I don't recall bumping into either one of them at any of the services. I've got letters from the UAW telling me which candidates "we" support. I haven't been a member of the UAW since 2004.

And television ads? Here's how they all go. Open the ad with a black and white shot of the opponent and some music stolen from a dramatic scene in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Say something bad about the opponent. Next shot is a spinning newspaper zeroing in on a headline or two about the corruption and bad voting practices of the other guy. Short statement of something about change.

Switch to color shot of the "good guy" reviewing construction plans with a crew while wearing a hard hat. Next shot is same good guy sitting on a porch swing with a couple of geezers pretending to care about what they're saying. Another shot of candidate in front of a podium or shaking hands in a crowd.

End with an arty shot of a slowly waving American flag, with a picture of the candidate and the office they're running for.

Crooks, all of them.....

Why do you call someone a crook who spends millions of dollars for a hundred thousand dollar job?
