Shumlin and Welch and Leahy Leave The Scene

The election ended electioneering, for now, at least. Thanks be to God. How sad to live in a state where we need to select a governor every two years. I cannot wait. And the presidency, too. Oh, boy. I cannot wait. More nasty ads. More polls. More nailbiting. Oh, boy.

Linda McMahon spent $50 million and lost. Meg Whitman spent $140 million and lost. Big spending usually wins, unless it is your own money, except for Michael Blumberg, a mayor with no sense of shame.

Billion spent. For what? Votes went for between $5 and $175. Who got this money? The people who ran the campaigns. Name me a few, eh. Talk about stimulus packages. The elections keep local TV stations and fast food purveyors in business. No one spent any money on my vote, I can tell you. Some of the money went for leadership PACs. Lead on.

Who gave this money? Not me. Keith Oberman gave. What a guy. Bernie Sanders, my Senator, should have his mouth wired shut for denouncing Keith’s suspension. Yes, Virginia, some people in some jobs give up their rights to petition the government or donate to candidates.

Recycling

I cannot wait until the next political Barbeque season.
