WASHINGTON: THE LOONY BIN

Mindless idiots are in control of our government. That’s right: we’ve allowed a bunch of lunatics to take charge of our national security, our economy, our freedoms and our destinies. The proof of the pudding is that when Senator Evan Bayh, one of the few half-sane people left on The Hill, announced that he’s had enough with the funny farm, all of the inmates started running around like headless chickens and calling him the bad guy.

There Obama and his flock of mindless sheep stand, surrounded by bad news. Iran relentlessly rattles its nuclear sabres, the economy continues on the precipice of perilous calamity, millions of jobless are suffering through their 10th or 11th month of joblessness, commercial and housing foreclosures are about to shove the mortgage holders and banks back into the abyss… and Obama’s henchmen are gathered behind closed doors with Congressional leaders, scheming on how to get the damned health care plan passed. Every time an angry America shouts “No more health care, get us some jobs!” Washington’s collective eyes glaze over and their brains go on vacation.

Our leaders have either taken total leave of their senses, or they are very deeply buried in total denial. The nation is deeply in debt and we are going to have to spend billions more dollars to install rubber padding in the halls of Congress. Any day now, I expect Obama to announce that it’s time for the nation to quit driving gas guzzlers and to start driving Toyotas. Maybe, if we can get Michelle to teach basket weaving to the asylum’s inhabitants, we can recoup some of our money?

We, the people, imagine that we have a very real fear: What if these worse than senseless beings get run out of Washington and decide to come back and live among us? Will our children and farm animals be safe? Ah, but fear not: they will all become lobbyists and stay in the “Land of the Odd Ones” forever and ever.  The Messiah didn't say that; I did. 

The members of the fourth estate, ever the ones to conceal from us what we should know and to trumpet the ridiculous claims of the so-called pundits, would have us all believe that things are good and well in Washington. They seemingly buy in to the theory that the latest events in Washington are Republican vs. Democrat partisanship. They don’t seem to understand that we, the Astroturf of America, have come to realize that all Washington politicians are the same: regardless of political affiliation, they are corrupt, they are un-American, they are traitors to the ideals they espoused when we elected them, and we want them all out. 

Thanks to our bumbling, self-centered simpletons who have occupied the seats of power in Washington for far too many decades, we have become the laughing stock of the world. We are no longer the strong, fearless proponents of freedom and justice for all, we are the pitiful weak. That is why the tin-horned dictators of the world can get away with what they are getting away with in Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Somalia….. That is why our American dollar is sinking in value and the pallor of eternal national debt looms on our doorsteps as the call of death to what once was a great country.

Enough is enough. We refuse to be blamed for the tragedy that is unfolding before our eyes any longer. We’re going to do something about this nonsense. We've already begun.
