Potato,Potahto

Well, I warned you- change and mayhem. With the world reeling at the prospect of President The Donald, I hope my offering of puppies and rainbows and peonies will calm you down somewhat. The recent US election campaign has been incredible. It’s the most honest campaign I’ve ever seen because for the first time ever, the game has been laid bare. The electorate was offered only 2 choices- worse or worser, to coin a phrase. This has been going on for decades but it has never been so transparent before. The people saw right through it and decided to give the establishment a bloody nose. However. no matter who you vote for, the government always gets in. Doubtless, they’re already regrouping to see how they can manipulate someone much less malleable than Hilary would have been. Still, man proposes and God disposes. We shall see what we shall see. He doesn’t need money, fame or success. He’s already been exposed as a male chauvinist pig and there is no reputation to protect. I am very interested to see what he might be tempted to sell his soul for, unless of course it’s already in hock in which case it’s a simple matter of collecting a debt. Conspiracy, ahoy 🙂

IMHO, people didn’t so much vote for Trump as against Hilary and what they perceived rightly or wrongly as a seriously corrupt establishment class. This class never learn and constantly underestimate the anger of the general public because of course, they have little or no contact with that public. It’s the same reason why people voted for Brexit and look what’s happening there – they’re trying to nullify 33 million votes and saying that the votes of 650 people can overrule the referendum. If they don’t get the result they want, they just resort to skulduggery and cheating. I’m always amused when we send observers to elections in developing countries. Talk about ‘Physician, heal thyself’. Sooner or later, they’ll attempt to do away with democracy because too many people are wide-awake now. Things are about to get very interesting indeed. If I were President Trump, I would invest in some top-notch independent security. He should ask Hilary for some numbers; the mercenaries they’ve been using in Syria and Iraq (sorry, ISIS militia) could be just the ticket 🙂

And if you’re worried about The Donald, we’ve had worse in the past. Who could forget Danforth Quayle with his ‘potatoe’ and Dubya with his ‘Some of our children is not learning’. A Yale education, natch. Oh and by the way, just in case anyone cares, Guantanamo Bay is still open with business as usual. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. For the more frivolous, I offer the following advert outside a taqueria:

C2H5OH. You know it makes sense (hic! hoc!!)
