“Send in the Clowns”

Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here. (Send in the Clowns, by Stephen Sondheim).

The ‘lame street press’ is attacked for a ‘gotcha’ question by Sarah Palin as she botched, butchered and bull shitted her way regarding American history. The ‘lame street press’ never asked her about Paul Reveres ride, but did ask what sights she saw while traveling the East Coast trying to save America from Americans. So Sarah answered that ‘gotcha question’ without ever being asked. One to never admit wrong, or I don’t know, or I made a mistake, ex half term Governor Palin insists that her version of Paul Reveres ride either made more sense than the facts or her facts make Paul Revere more of the kind of American Palin would like him to be. And then her clone of goons tried to rewrite the truth by editing Wikipedia as if Wikipedia is the scholarly account of anything. “Don’t you love farce”?

Rick Santorum is the latest of the far right candidates officially throwing his hat into the ring as he attempts a run for President via the Republican/Bagger Party. He is a champion of God and if he is elected as President, this nation has room for only those who want a closer relationship with his God. Tim Pawlenty, running for President believes that the wealthy are paying way too many taxes and wants to lower their burden of responsibility. He also has no tolerance for Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, so one of his first acts will be to repeal that law. Newt Gingrich believes that above all else the Defense of Marriage Act is the cornerstone of the Constitution and if that law is repealed the crack in the Liberty Bell will break the bell and the minions of the Devils will take hold of his America. He is in love with his third wife and is saving the Institution of Marriage this time around. So Non-Christians, Poor, Gays it is your fault that this nation sucks. “My fault I fear”.

One by one the voters that threw out the bums in the 2010 election and voted in the newer bums and managed to elect a majority of Republican/Baggers into the both houses of their state are suddenly feeling buyer’s remorse. The outcry of the public for jobs and the insistence that jobs and the deficit were job one by the Republican/Baggers blended like a pure melody. Do what we ask for and we will reward you plentifully was the melody and we will do exactly that, but don’t read our fine print was the lyrics. But instead in such freedom loving states as Wisconsin, busting the unions, Indiana cutting funds for Planned Parenthood, Maine abolish child labor laws, Minnesota ban gay-marriage, the tune was more like less big government where it counts and more intrusive government where we believe it should count. The budget comes second restriction on equality, freedoms and rights is job one. “I thought that you’d want what I want”

We wanted a larger than life action figure to run a larger than life state, like California, so we elected Arnold. If he could stop cyborgs from wreaking ravage and mayhem to future generations, certainly he could move mountains destroy molehills and make any ‘girly politician’ run and hide and cow tow to his demands as Governor. He was the man to do the job that so many other mere mortals could not. There was even talk about changing the Constitution so this Austrian born of red white and Gold’s Gym bodybuilding, this phenomenal man could take his Conan like leadership skills and make this country lift some heavy weight and build our bodies so no one in the world would ever think about kicking sand in our faces again. He was all man but didn’t man up to his affair with his housekeeper. Nope, while doing the people’s business, he wanted to keep his personal business, well, personal. Somehow someone was not happy with a bribe so the truth came pouring out and Mrs. Schwarzenegger found out she was not the only one to get fucked. “Sorry, my dear”.

We now have one more Congressman (Anthony Weiner) assuming he has Krypton keeping his identity from being discovered as his pictures floated around the Internet. He thought that only Republicans were crazy enough and hypocritical enough to be caught with their pants, down, shirts off, penis’s hard, so by blatantly demonstrating his masculinity to any woman other than his wife or girlfriend/boyfriend, no one would notice. He figured it was not done on government equipment so by using his equipment to prove his sexual prowess all could and should be forgiven. “But where are the clowns”.

We have the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Pribus, demanding that Congressman Weiner resign his position for sending pictures depicting his Jewish anatomy, but somehow the same Chairperson doesn’t care that two Republican Senators, Vitter, and Ensign had been and is in office serving their Constituents, after one planned a few visits with a prostitute Vitter, one had an affair with his assistant’s wife, Ensign. No voices of resignation were heard from any Republicans about that behavior and only one of the Senators, Ensign resigned only after being caught breaking some real laws but not for breaking into the bedroom of his married assistant. “Quick, send in the clowns

American politics, in 2010/2011, how wondrous, onerous, ridiculous they have become. Do as I say, not as I do, facts are not necessary just my personal feeling. My wife didn’t know so I am okay being an adulterer. Big Government is too big, but not too big if it doesn’t set standards for your reproductive rights, sets your religious preferences, discriminates on who you can love and marry, cares less about your health, prefers you stay poor or in poverty. So amazing to me the amount of clowns we have elected into office who time after time act as if they were performing in a three ring circus under a big top. Send in the clowns, oops, “Don’t bother they’re here”.
