The current presidential campaign in the US is a torment none of us, of whatever genuine political leaning, deserves.
Newt Gingrich says, "The [Chevrolet] Volt is Obama's car - you can't put a gun rack in it." [Actually you can, so this is just like most campaign proclamations.]
Rick Santorum says, "There can be no such thing as a liberal Christian".
Mitt Romney says, "The Obama administration has fought against religion."
Rick Perry says, . . . oh well, never mind, he has taken a time out.
If we were interviewing for the position of Director of Human Resources for a small telephone company, any of those statements would probably make us thank the candidate for his time, and tell him that we'll be in touch.
One is tempted to think that, "oh, well, it will all be over in November".
But the horrifying truth revealed by the current situation is that we are now in a perpetual presidential campaign, a series of five- or 6-year events that occur every four years.
We are as perpetually doomed as Prometheus, but it is not a noble eagle that gnaws forever at our liver.
Ah, well, soon we will have breakfast and I will feel better.
Best regards,
Doug
