It Sounds Like Fiction

Today's news highlights have left me shaking my head. How the television on-air personalities could keep from smirking or the radio reporters keep from laughing is beyond me.

The Great Illusionist has spun yet another web designed to ensnare more unsuspecting 'believers' into his camp. A program to spend even more money that our country does not have.....in order to create more jobs? We cannot spend that which we do have nave. Pure and simple.

One of the Great Illusionist's lackeys had the gall to call upon a very small nation to change their monetary and judicial systems. As if we are the globe's best example?

A world-wide automaker, in the face of recalling millions of vehicles. has the audacity to tell consumers that the cars are safe to drive.....even though the automaker has instructed dealers that production on said models has been halted due to consumer-safety concerns.

A formerly influential national political figure has finally admitted to a dalliance that seemed obvious from the first "I did not do this." he uttered. Said figure's spouse has finally awakened and 'smelled the roses' and discovered that roses have thorns.

You would have trouble writing fact that sounds this fictional or absurd. Unfortunately, this isn't fiction, but rather, our national elected and appointed officials exerting their misguided and misinformed influence.

As I've written earlier, the comic strips reflect the most accurate reality and, for the most part, there are no politicians in the funnies. Ironic, isn't it?
