Dear
Readers,
Yesterday
I sat down to cover three more of the Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge
Series. It’s my practice to listen to the business news as I work on my current
novel, but unfortunately I had to hit the mute button. President Obama had been ranting on for…actually
I lost track of how long he’d been beating up on the Republicans, calling them
names, pointing a finger, but I’m sure it was for over half an hour.
I think there’s plenty of blame to
throw around about the dysfunctional political class in Washington D.C. And isn’t that the issue? The “Political Class,”
be they Republican, Democratic, Independent, Left Wing, Right Wing or Moderates?
It seems to me the Right Wing and
the Left Wing of the black crow of are governing body are flapping uselessly. The
beak is open and the cawing is reverberating off my ear drums at an ever
increasing cadence and the volume just keeps going up. But no matter how hard the
Right Wing and the Left Wing flap, they can’t get the bloated body off the
ground.
In Hillary Clinton’s words; “what
difference does it make?” What difference does it make to the American people which
party is in control? For me it’s obvious the Political Class’s number one
priority isn’t to keep this country great, but once entrenched their main goal
is to self-perpetuate.
The politicians are like Cowbird
eggs dropped into a songbird nest. They hatch, they consume, and eventually
their overlarge bodies push the baby songbirds out of the nest, while the
songbird parents bust their ass trying to feed the monstrosity that has taken
up residence in their home.
What is the answer? I have no idea.
I’ve tried voting, but I don’t know who to vote for anymore. It seems as though
there is nothing but Cowbird eggs to choose from. How big and gluttonous will
these Cowbirds become once they hatch? Will they consume everything that is
good about our country, and leave the songbirds without a song to sing?
And then there was only one.
Sincerely,
Shelley
