There was Fred Thompson on the steps of my old haunt, the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.
While I'm fascinated that the man dubbed "lazy like a fox" stayed on the sidelines all summer while other Republican candidates wore each other out, yet still could explode onto the scene like a rock star Sept. 5 on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," I don't get the attraction unless you just can't bear to look anymore at what politics has become and you crave a folksy, thought-free, easy way out.
Two Reagan administrations promising trickle down, Star Wars and tax cuts all at once were enough for me.
America in 2008 needs a president who tackles real issues, begins solving some huge problems which have been festering for some time and makes decisions grounded in reality, not Stephen Colbert "truthiness" for the way things ought to be.
The last thing the United States needs after the last seven years is a lead actor to star in a reality television show about our fantasies, where problems such as the war, immigration and poverty will be "solved" by keeping them carefully out of camera range.
Even if America again turns a blind eye again toward a "Morning in America" delusion, someone will still be running reality from behind the Wizard of Oz's screen which obscures our oligarchy and an occupying military fueled on borrowed money to keep the masses distracted.
You can go over and read the rest of this comedy If you want at..:laugh2:
