New Terms of Office: Four Years Whitehouse – Four Years Prison

Just a little wild conjecture about what the face of politics might look like if the definition of a two-term president were just slightly altered.

No, I am not drunk or high. It is only 5:48 in the morning – so I will only confess to a slight caffeine buzz. Nothing I can’t handle.

I have not been overly traumatized recently.

I am also not delusional – at least not at this precise moment. That is not to say that I don’t occasionally enjoy indulging in a nice, cleansing delusion. I do. Whenever I can fit it into my schedule, actually. I find it to be a lovely little break from reality – which is almost as important to a balanced life as a commercial is to a horror movie.

Vitally important. How else can one take a deep breath, perhaps smoke a nice joint, and just generally regroup?

And pee, of course.

So, I promise you that I am neither in the up-swing nor the down-swing of any (diagnosed) psychological disorder.

I am, however, suffering from the uncontrollable ravages of an imagination gone wild combined with the sad effects of an over-worked and under-rewarded optimism in ‘the system’.

I find myself afflicted with a growing tumor of fear that that we have – collectively – stepped through Alice’s looking glass. Fallen down the wabbit hole. Drank the pretty Kool-aid.

I therefore find myself dizzy and giggling with an overwhelming case of the ‘What-if’s and the ‘Can ya imagine’s’ – that is forcing fingers onto keys. Words onto paper.

I apologize in advance.

On the other hand, I do believe that I have come up with the perfect cure for what is killing us from the inside out: Rotten, stinking, greedy, lying, cheating, self-serving, double-talking, overly charming politicians. Um, can I tell ya how I really feel?

How do we – when do we  – what do we have to do to get some quality folks – the one’s who really, honestly care about their country and the people within it – to run for office?

And then it hit me.

It came to me at the very bottom of one of those ‘pass it along’ e-mails that people continue to send to me even though I never, ever -  even under threat of bankruptcy or harm to my children – forward.

It said in the small print: Limit all politicians to 2 terms – one in office, one in prison. Illinois has already started to do this.

I have posted it to my facebook page. Feel free. I figure this might narrow the field, eh?

Anyone else wanna piece of my delusion? I’m willing to share!

Hope you’re smiling! I’m grinning like a loon.

You May Also Enjoy…

Thanks For Dropping In! Y’all Come Back Now, Ya Hear!
