And lots of manure, too.

I'm learning to look at politics much like an athletic event. A game. Yes, a rather stupid one. But a game, nevertheless. I can't affect the outcome. But I can pull for this side or that side. Albeit, it's sometimes difficult to decide if I really want a winner. Because they are all despicable. Like sports teams, politicos often identify themselves with mascots. Elephants and donkeys. Which seem appropriate. Plodders. Stubborn. Clumsy. But from the whiff of the air in Washington, I suspect there are some skunks. And lots of manure, too. --Jim Broede
