The events of 2006 didn’t give much hope for those of us referred to as the lunatic fringe or, as one of our next Presidential candidates calls us, “the vast right-wing conspiracy.”
It is too early to know our choices, but the thought of choosing between Barack Obama, Hilliary Clinton, John McCain, Condoleezza Rice, Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, or Al Gore for President should frighten and amaze you. If it doesn’t, then you have officially become like those Americans who spend their nights camped out on concrete awaiting the arrival of the latest Playstation or the opening of the newest Krispy Kreme donut shop.
Oblivious to what is going on around them, they plan their lives around the purchase of toys, trinkets, and junk food. The opening of the Peoria Krispy Kreme Donuts created such excitement that 100 good little “consumer units” lined up in automobiles and camped out on sidewalks (during December no less) to be one of the first to scarf down their artery-clogging sugar fixes. Politicians were on hand and a local high school band played at the ribbon-cutting.
One can only hope that their motivation was their depression over America’s deterioration, which created a suicidal tendency to end it all by inducing a coronary. I would hate to think that it was just an ordinary obsession with valueless junk food.
On a more optimistic note, maybe they were just all fat liberals.
In any event, let me list some of the issues of 2006 that concerned those of us who don’t sleep on sidewalks in order to spend money at the earliest possible hour of the morning.
