0714 - Poli-Tricks

The U.S. political scene (unlike the quiet Anguilla political scene) has become almost intolerably silly. It is enough to make the usually tolerant OO “Clunch”, our Forgotten English Calendar’s Friday word. Clunch is said to mean “Abrupt in speech and irritable”, at least in North Lincolnshire. Look around: a GOP Senator who produced the famous $400 million “Bridge to Nowhere” seems to be being wiretapped by the FBI for taking gifts from an oil type. The Dem Representative who stashed $90 thou or so in his freezer from a sting is still around the Capitol, somehow neither indicted nor ethically investigated. The sex scene is hot in Washington (as it often is) with everything from a Dem who patronized the DC Madam to a GOP Senator doing strange things in the airport men’s room. And as for the business of the Nation, forget about it, since the 2008 election is only 13 months-plus away, and the States are fighting to see who can hold the firstest primary. Who needed this?
