MMMM Samish
Well…the Republican debates are over, the slash and burn trashing the candidates gave each other has died off, and one question remains:
“Did they damage each other so badly in the public’s eyes that folks will stay home from the polls in disgust?
Political columnist and talking head pundit Charles Krauthammer says no, that Obama is so unpopular on the right that, “Even a ham sandwich could beat him.” That MAY be, but… Continue reading »
“Tinfoil hats” are usually associated with wild-eyed conspiracy theories and the nut jobs…like me, right?…that promote those theories. So far this show, and it’s predecessor The Political Coot, haven’t really done anything that would be associated with nut jobs,

conspiracies, tinfoil hats, or anything similar…yet.
It will come…maybe…probably eventually, but for now, here is a “what is it” about the show. Since the show is on here, at my Common Sense Conversation blog, and on my YouTube channel, I thought maybe I oughtta do a video telling folks what the show IS all about, since I’m obviously NOT a nut job…right?
The Political Coot is no more. A moment of silence for the show, please.
OK…that’s enough. Let’s not get carried away.
The Political Coot went on hiatus a few weeks ago, which is another way of saying that I got either a bit lazy or I wasn’t happy with the focus of the show…or both. Probably both.
So, both have changed. I’m going to quit being lazy AND the show is changing a bit to be more inline with what I am wanting to do.
Don’t get me wrong…I’ve enjoyed poking fun at the stupidity of government when they do something both stupid AND funny, and frankly you don’t have to look all that hard to find that combination…but it isn’t enough. Something my daddy told me a long time ago has been bugging me lately:
Son, if all you do is bitch and complain, without offering a fix, you aren’t part of the solution. You are part of the problem.
Even when it is attempting to inject a bit of humor, that is true, so…
Going forward, each week I’ll be highlighting a problem with government at all levels, proposing a solution that is as simple as possible ( a concept politicians and bureaucrats can’t seem to grasp), and giving a suggestion or two as to what YOU can do to help the solution actually be implemented, so you can be part of the solution too.
Today we are going to ease into it by attacking an easy…and timely, given the recent headlines involving the GSA…problem, that of the federal government wasting taxpayer money. The problem is obvious, and the solution is simple WITHOUT goring somebody’s favorite oxen by cutting a pet project or program.
Hi folks…this week we change things up just a bit.
First, the shows will be a bit shorter. This week it is less than 11 minutes long. Hell, even I don’t want to listen to myself for a half hour!
Also, we will occasionally, like today, find something government does that is good…whether they mean it to be or not.
So, sit back and enjoy today’s show. The TSA actually did a good thing…not intentionally though.
Gonna get a bit serious today. Instead of poking fun at government ineptness and stupidity, I want to warn you folks about the government nefarious plans to spy on you and shut your first amendment rights down…worse than they do already.
So…without further ado, sit back and enjoy…or not. Sheep don’t want to be awakened.
