A Billy Carter Crisis

if John McCain wins this November, our country faces what I call "A Billy Carter Crisis". two reasons lead me to this conclusion: Sarah Palin's family and Cynthia McCain. John McCain looks like he loathes both of these women. Palin is the new Lyndon B., baby. and Cynthia McCain is the right's answer to Jackie O. though she wears a lot of red to evoke memories of the golden Reagan years.
anyway…

Todd Palin looks like new pop country. real mavericks like Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard would stomp kick his ass, but he has something to prove. if McCain wins, Todd will buy a cobalt blue Camero which he sets on forty-inch chrome rims. he will then proceed to pick fights with people like me over parking spaces. such antics will result in repeated butt whoopings for Todd. Sarah strikes me as the kind of woman who can throw back a few beers or snort a few lines, but never allows it to interfere with her goal of running the world. Todd will be so wasted that he uses the "red phone" to call Roger Clinton for advice. this, after he uses it to order Papa's Johns for some real goddamn Italian food. country does not always equal ignorant just as city does not always equal smart. everyone suffers some form of ignorance, but when your ignorance stems from close-minded greed rather than lack of experience or knowledge, disaster looms. that whole damn family gonna be an issue.

and poor Cynthia. do they not have food on the campaign trail? looks like Todd could rustle up something for her to gnaw on---a squirrel, a possum, anything. she appears nervous, cornered and in need of someone to actually listen to her. whatever she uses to soothe her nerves no longer works. (SEE: PILL POPPER) if she makes it to the White House, her future consists of many picnics with Betty Ford on the south lawn.

Words to live by

"I consider the government of the United States as interdicted by the Constitution from intermeddling in religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises...Certainly, no power to prescribe any religious exercise or to assume authority in religious discipline has been delegated to the General Government...

"But it is only proposed that I should recommend, not prescribe a day of fasting and prayer. That is, that I should indirectly assume to the U.S. an authority over religious exercises which the Constitution has directly precluded them from.... I do not believe it is for the interest of religion to invite the civil magistrate to direct it's exercises, it's discipline, or it's doctrines; nor of the religious societies that the general government should be invested with the power of effecting any uniformity of time or matter among them. Fasting and prayer are religious exercises. The enjoining them an act of discipline. Every religious society has a right to determine for itself the times for these exercises, and the objects proper for them, according to their own particular tenets; and this right can never be safer than in their own hands, where the constitution has deposited it...every one must act according to the dictates of his own reason, and mine tells me that civil powers alone have been given to the President of the U.S. and no authority to direct the religious exercises of his constituents."


— -- Thomas Jefferson, to Samuel Miller, January 23, 1808
