Who Does It Better?

I was thinking of Barack Obama and how far we have come in America. Not too long ago, we didn't elect Al Gore as President because he smoked pot once, in college. Now we elect presidents who had cocaine habits (and who are black)!

Think about Ronald Reagan's nominee to the Supreme Court, Douglas Ginsburg. Spotless record. Admitted to smoking a little pot in college (in the 60's mind you). Tanked his career. Today, we would have brushed that off as a mere parking ticket.

Bill Clinton's admission to pot inhalation was only one election cycle after Gore's, and we elected both of them.

But now comes sex scandals.

Clinton barely escaped. Numerous other politicians, Anthony Weiner included, have become casualties. At what point will adultery, swinging and sexting become something we shrug our shoulders at and point out, Who hasn't? I would think shooting your friend in the face is far worse than grab-assing interns.

As more and more social faux pas become acceptable, what will fill in for being unacceptable? Definitely killing puppies with shovels. Now killing ex-boyfriends . . . that is acceptable.

Stupidity? Our track record isn't so great at this. I expect we will elect more morons. Karl Rove is betting his undies Sarah Palin will get in the Presidential election mix. Right now, she's like Taylor Swift, covering everyone's events.

Witches may come into fashion. Former Representative Tracy Seifert of Crawford County was thrown out, not because she stole a generator from the local fire department for Y2K; but because she is a witch. Christine O'Donnell and her may be trail blazers for witches!

Campaign Donations by giant corporations: the possible new trend is to, get this, stop donating to campaigns, and start investing in the work force! Pigs must be flying!
