'splaining to do

Ricky Ricardo would come home from the Tropicana and sure as there are 24 hours in each day, his red headed half crazed wife, Lucy would be sitting on the sofa or standing by the kitchen with an enormous grin on her face, and loving husband Ricky would say "...you've got some 'splaining to do Lucy..." The camera would pan back to Lucy and all you heard was a large "...AHHHHHHHGGG!"

Seems now a-days, every time we turn on the television, we have a whole bunch of politicians who like Lucy have "...a whole lot of 'splaining to do, and like Lucy, only seem to 'splain anything when they are either caught in the act by reporters, being blackmailed by some co- adulteress or adulator, caught with their pants down or big white splotch on their dress.

Lucy was always up to some trick or other to convince Ricky that she (Lucy) could perform at the Tropicana or in the movies or anywhere in front of an audience. We loved Lucy and rooted for her to finally once have one her conniving plans follow through and come to fruition.

Unlike Lucy, our politicians use a whole bunch of conniving tricks but the only satisfaction they want is personal, and want the people who elected them to ignore the tricks and just settle for the pie in the face at the end of the charade. The pie of course splattered all over the electorate.

From Sarah Palin with her incredible 15 complaints against her for illegitimate unlawful, unethical behavior, to Senator Ensign from Nevada, who just couldn't keep his zipper zipped and whose adult parents had to fork up lots of cash to try and hush up the hussy, to the boys at the C Street Church, who say it isn't a church just a dorm (yeah for bunch of Neo Conservative half crazed Republicans to hang out while mixing Government business with personal pleasures), to a simpleton simon named Larry Craig who just happened sitting in a public restroom with a wide stance.

I Love Lucy has been in reruns for decades and eons so it seems. Many of us never get tired of the characters running amok on that show. The contempt, disinterest, selfish, disregard of the dozens and dozens of politicians toward the American citizen also seems to have run now for decades and eons. But unlike Lucy, we get no reruns, just continuous new situation comedies which the more they play, seem less funny and really quite disturbing.

I am so tired of hearing the self righteous say do as I say not as I do. These hypocritical politicians just seem to never learn . They all should take a course in watching I Love Lucy, and realize Lucy never go away with any of her schemes and they all back fired loud and proud in her face."

"...Lucy you have some 'spalining to do..." And don't you just wish for once the politicians would be honest enough and 'SPLAIN.
