A new beginning's gotta be better.

We Americans don’t worship gods any more. But rather, we worship celebrities. People who have been glamorized by the media. Mostly freaks. Take, for instance, the candidates seeking the Republican nomination for president. Everyone of ‘em is a gawd-awful freak celebrity. Home-grown, full-fledged idiots. So idiotic that they have become celebrities. Because they stand out above all other idiots. They are elite idiots. One of a kind. And that’s what the rest of us idiots like. A Michele Bachmann. Or a Rick Perry. When they were created, the mold was broken. And that gives us the opportunity to pick a leader like none other in the world. No duplicate. Yes, they will make terrible leaders. But that’s incidental. More important, they’ll be entertaining. Doing things their own way. In idiotic manner. We’ll never know what’s coming next. It’ll be surprise after surprise. So unpredictable. And that is precisely what makes political life so interesting. It’s like committing collective suicide. But not knowing exactly how it’s gonna happen. Only knowing it’s gonna happen. Sooner or later. I know this is a pessimistic outlook. But it’s reality, folks. The end of America is coming. But look at it this way. That creates the opportunity for a new beginning. And it’s gotta be better. –Jim Broede
