it's halloween, and since death is the only sure thing that will put an end to this eternal electioneering ( and how i long for election day to fall on the day of the dead...how unfortunate that is not a possibility) it seems an apropriate time to take a look at the posturing and lame ham acting that the "people's business" generates when the political professionals are forced to press the flesh in order to carry on with their trysting in the swamps...lots of outsider anger this year...especially from the insiders posing as populists...nothing new in that...reagan was posing as an outsider and look what happened during that "revolution"...no reason for such a useful tactic to have been forgotten in the thirty years since bonzo's handler rode tall and flogged gorby for wearing the mark of the beast...the n y times to day says the one accusation that obamaland cannot shake is elitism...what the fuck? they are virtually all representatives of some sort of elite constituency so it's all a matter of perception... i set out to do a bit of research about the roots and particualrly the educational background of our hired guns in whoretown...not alot of surprises in this...a list of law schools as long as your arm and then some and a lot of people in congress who are posing as regular joes and concerned citizens have some interesting pedigrees...let's start with the ivy leaugers and let me say that democratic elis far outnumber republicans in both the house and senate which puts paid to pelosi's "main street" bullshit ( she is not an eli ) there are twenty democratic senators that hail from elitist universities as opposed to five republicans...the house is a bit more lopsided with thiry-five democratic ivy leaugers out-numbering the seven republican five to one...all but two members of congress are university educated to some degree...two members of the house, phil hare of illinois and harry teauge of new mexico have suceeded in being elected on the strength of high school diplomas and they should be returned to their seats as often as they run because they must be the only real outsiders involved in national politics...token plebians or not they offer a much needed balance to the congress...on the whole i would say that the real halloween costumes have been on display since the beginning of the year and i would long for wednesday the third if the image generating machinery of late imperial politics ever took a day off...but it doesn't...the long relentless slide into the presidential race of 2012 and all the real reasons for "why not" sarah palin will begin the day after this noh play grinds to its anticlimax...i have almost given up hope of being delivered from this by the lake of fire or the plauge of politician specific ebola virus carrying scorpions backed up by venom spitting cobras...but it is halloween...and tomorrow is all saints day as well as the day of the dead...surely the whores will go to ground until that blows over...is one day off to much to ask? fuck these people.
