Black Beard, Black Bred, Black Days

Election returns will "officially" start in 24 hours. Quotation marks are in place because we have already started counting early voters and votes. 24 hours. 24. What we are about to experience could possibly rattle Jack Bower. Now would be a good day for daylight savings time. Better yet, before the gergorian calendar was used, when it showed in Rome in June, the Pope pushed the calendar ahead 6 months. We could skip the whole damn thing. Except it's not June and no snow in Rome.
This will the last of "Why" for 2 and Thru. The rest will be "How". But there are a few things, like my sentence structure, that are dangling and I want to tie up those loose ends.
Black Bred
I live in Tennessee and the big race is Blackburn and Bredesen. The negative ads are like this: On his watch, Phil allowed sexual harassment claims to run rampant. Marsha has used her office to pad the pockets of her family.
Both probably true. Pick your outrage. One will step in line with the current administration, the other was secretly recorded stating he will say anything they want to hear to win and do what he wants after that. He at least told the truth in private. Bottom line. There is no accountability in politics except at the next vote. But having only 2 choices doesn't make it an option to choose wisely. Millions, probably 100s of millions were spent in Tennessee to chose the lesser of 2 evils. SMH
Black Days
When our choices are so limited, no good can come out of it, just less pain. I am not of the polarizing persuasion but I have made some observations about the left during this political cycle. They are angry. They want their participation trophy.  What did Harry say? "LOOK AT ME!"
I stopped watching football for similar reasons. You realize that the only guy who doesn't do celebration dances or those types of antics is the center. Hike the ball to the quarterback. He has one job and usually does it flawlessly. Everytime.
IF the left wins, I suspect that the nation will penalize them with unsportsmanlike conduct, taunting. If they lose, they will be ejected from the game and quite possibly banned forever from the hall of fame. Either way, there will be black days going forward based on their current behavior. Is the Right any better? No, just a bit more civilized is all.

Dan Crenshaw, the pirate. SNLs bad joke turned out to be a bit enlightening to me. He was invited to speak on Rush's show today. I was impressed. So much so, that I would vote for him if I lived in the Houston area. He is the grassroots kind of people that we need in the political arena today. I want to make a difference in my community on these very specific issues. And here is why and how I came to believe that this is what needs to be done.
When we begin to force out the long term, blood sucking ticks known as our government officials,  we make room for something fresh. Someone with new priorities that are real and relevant in today's world, today's society. In tune and in touch with today's problems. It's what we need if we are ever going to get the chance to vote smart.
