From The Editor
For My Next Act ......
My sanity has come into question more times than I’d like to admit, but was I watching the presidential campaign or was it Looney Tunes? Did someone spike my drink, or was I hallucinating?
Honestly, I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but there was our entire nation, precariously teetering on a precipice of complete financial disaster, and there I was... listening to two men who were drawing at straws, telling me and the world that they would be the best choice to take us out of the muck and mire, fire and ashes, war and terror, and impending apocalypse that the Bush administration blowhards have been so kind as to endow upon us, and that shall unquestionably lead to neverending disastrous consequences affecting generations to come.
“Transparency?” Did I hear someone say ...TRANSPARENCY?
“Accountability?” Did I hear someone say ... ACCOUNTABILITY?
“700 billion dollars?” Did someone ask us for 700 BILLION DOLLARS?
Why not pick my pockets? Why not get it over with and take my lungs my heart and my mind?
Pigs and lipstick not withstanding, I send my apologies to Porky Pig for any remarks during the campaign that may have tainted his sterling reputation and only hope his famous “That’s all folks” means nothing more than an end to the calamitous events of the past two years, and not the end of America as we have known it; the finest country in the world!
By the time this November issue is delivered, I sincerely hope that both Democrats and Republicans, by some small miracle, have had the time to gain enough knowledge and vision about the candidates to be able to make the correct choice in the most critical presidential election in our nation’s history.
