Election Entertainment Is Back!

With the New and the Old (some who are old and very old)

In a democracy, elections are one of the more revered and sacred of traditions. Elections are when the voting power of the people decide their future. In true democracies, their vote shows the moral consciousness of the nation. Fortunately, there are no true democracies. In that spirit, we offer the amusing bits of America's fate.

The Ringmaster

Election Entertainment begins with the most engrossing element of this or any election, The Donald - Trump at Prayer Meeting . Before holding a press conference to declare impeachment victory, President Trump showed how to liven up an otherwise reverent gathering. No mention of love, but repeated consternation of dislike.

At his press conference, he demonstrated how his impeachment was just a warm-up for his 2020 election run. Hopefully, this first post will be the least entertaining; stay tuned! #electionentertainment

Setting the Stage

Unusual Suspects Americans face seemingly insurmountable problems and need someone to blame. We have mastered the world. America is the most prosperous and powerful country on Earth, and we tend to take credit for that success. However, we cannot do everything and some things we do have unintended side effects that we cannot control. For example, we do not treat everyone equally. While many things point to why, the greater truth is we have not figured out how to make that workable. We have created a great deal but consumed a great deal to do so. This has created problems such as pollution, which we have struggled for decades to ameliorate with minimal success. We invest trillions in our military but cannot stop wars, and we provide others with weapons to fight. We reached the top but now watch others climb past us. We are the wealthiest country with the highest debt and have no plan to settle it....

Political Football

Alabama Plays the Trump Card to Defeat Georgia Candidate Trump wearing Georgia Red with Crimson Tide supporters The only thing more divisive than this year's election would probably be the Alabama/Georgia game. While everybody in the stadium was probably as red as blood, the shades made all the difference. Mr. Trump sat with the Alabama Tide because one of his Mar Largo members offered an invite that probably included a campaign contribution. His support was widely noticed in the Tuscaloosa stadium, much to the chagrin of the Georgia fans, who watched as the Tide kept the Bulldogs from reaching the winning goal in the final minutes while tolerating the constant chant 'Eat Them Dawgs' from Tide fans, who were referring to the rumors of Haitians eating neighbors' pets in Springfield, Ohio, not the Bulldogs. Mr. Trump got caught between high Tide and many potential Georgia voters. It was more entertaining than the halftime show.

October Surprise

Welcome Back This has been a difficult year for quality entertainment in the 2024 election cycle. While there have been countless sideshows and outrageous actions, the mood of the audience has turned dark. One major candidate bowing out due to senescence and another almost assassinated have dulled the audience's senses. The race is almost a dead heat in more way than one. What could move the needle in this dark race? The October Surprise Of course, there have been many of these in our history. It must be the Halloween spirit. To name a few - The Founding of the U.S. Navy (1775), The Great Hurricane of 1780, The Battle of Yorktown (1781), The Second Battle of Bull Run (1863), Hayward California Earthquake (1968), The Chicago Fire (1871), The Stock Market Crash (1929), The Launch of Sputnik (1957), The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), Civil Rights Act of 1964 Enforced, The Pentagon Papers – Completion of Study (1969), "The October Surprise" of the 198...
