Politics

When seen from Canada, a Canadian’s comprehension of American politics is equivalent to a pet dog trying to understand the doorknob principle. Listening to their state sponsored media is of little help because all they ever have to say is, blah, blah, spot. Blah, blah, blah, Rex. Yeah, who’s a good boy? The cat is bad! Go get that bad cat!

Every now and then they think they have it licked. If only they were taller and had opposable thumbs, they could take themselves out for a walk once in a while and see what the neighborhood is really like.

Or Brad Pitt. Yes; they are equivalent, and mostly interchangeable. The thing is, I would really like to be able to smite those who deserve to be smoten, and if I were an APDE, I could do that quite easily, but if I were Brad Pitt, I wouldn’t need to.

Not so much smarter, though. There’s no bionical augmentation for wisdom and sagacity. Even if there were such a thing, the six million peso man still would have made himself taller, instead, and able to leap over high walls. Some choices are easier to make than others. Legs work better for perambulation than a tennis racket and a rake.

Wise financial advisors recommend buying gold to hedge against the impending global monetary collapse that is due any day now. It’s been any day for the past few decades, but incipient nonetheless. Thanks Obama, but I think lead would be a better choice than gold, and Campbell’s finest soup would be better still. Think about it.
