"What the hell is going on in this country?"

By GottaLaff


I'm listening to Randi Rhodes. She and I are noticing the same things. The following is a combination of her commentary and my own:

The Democratic candidate writes an op-ed in the New York Times, puts his thoughts in writing, repeats his war policies endlessly, and gives a speech that lays his foreign policy out in detail. We have a president who doesn't e-mail, but Barack Obama puts his ideas on paper for the world to see. The Republican candidate is still referring to "Czechoslovakia", which hasn't existed since 1993, while Obama is explaining himself in writing, clearly and transparently.

The cover of The New Yorker has been the topic of discussion in the corporate media for the past 24 hours. So has talk of Obama being a flip-flopper, despite the fact that he's putting his ideas in writing so that these blathering fools can reference his words... and maybe even talk about them.

Meantime, John Sidney McCain is touting his accumulation of traveling miles as the requisite experience that Obama lacks. If that were the case, my father is qualified to be president.

Osama bin Laden's dream is that oil would rise to $144 a barrel. Dream realized.

Banks are failing. Dream realized.

Military broken. Dream realized.

Sinking dollar. Dream realized.

Yet McCain is worried about relations between Russia and Czechoslovakia. He's Bush without the smarts, says Randi. After he figures out how to get online, he can use the Google to look up Czechoslovakia.

Free markets: The rich gamble, they lose, we pay. That's some casino, she says.

I grew up in Encino. Today Encino is the center of attention because the police had to keep order there due to so many people cutting in line to pull their money out of Indy Mac.

And Randi also just said that Bush and McCain are the same person. We agree on that too. As we do on the insanity of "the psychology of oil".

As she just asked, what the hell is going on in this country?
