State of the Union
* America has the best health care in the world, it's just unaffordable, unobtainable and unethical.
* Every vote counts, except for the exceptions which could be enough to shift the balance of power. Again, we choose the low road.
* The most viable and exceptional candidate can be irreparably damaged by a single raving lunatic with a yet undisclosed agenda. You get what you pay for in a sound-bite culture.
* Watching the media cover the "important" aspects of the 2008 sElection is akin to 5 year olds playing soccer... everyone rushes the ball at once and no one's paying attention to the strategy, goal or the larger field of play.
* American infrastructure, citizen health and the climate are all distractions from the greater challenge we face from terror in Iraq where our shrinking dollars are going exclusively, to rebuild that oasis in the Middle East. Gotta have priorities.
* Matters of policy, international relations, the economy are secondary to the importance of flag pins.
Time for a good sheep shearing.
