$#@&!

My late dad used to say that over the course of his nine decades whenever the Republicans got in power, sooner or later they drove the economy into the ground. Then the people, hurting, would vote the Democrats back in power to fix things. And when things got better, a lot of the people started identifying more with the rich and voted Republican again. And the whole damn cycle would repeat.

But then there are the times, like now, that the people do even more stupid things, like shoot themselves -- and all of us -- in the foot by voting for Republicans when the economy is still hurting, from Republican policies in the first place.

Wise up, America! Independents, grow up! You've just thrown a temper tantrum and denied all logic, reason, and common sense, and done a really, really stupid, dangerous thing, voting the scoundrels back into power. Get with the program! It's called reality.

Or you -- and all of us -- will have a lot more to complain about. Don't think for a moment that things can't get a whole helluva lot worse. Remember the Great Depression? Or didn't you study that chapter in history class ... one of those "social studies" programs whose budgets you want to cut, so we can have tax cuts for the rich as well as the middle class.
