So, ... if you could not keep a sense of humor about the Party at the Helm, ... the Rabid Reichpublican Right, (RRR)... you'd have slit your wrists years ago, right? I've often subscribed to my younger brother's advice, ... "It is a good day when you awaken on the right side of the sod!"

But this morning it dawned on me that perhaps as my politics have recovered to a more progressive side, that I have taken myself, and the world of politics, way too seriously. So I confess that I made a point today, ... as nature wanes toward Winter, to take my political perspectives more "Spring-ward". I don't need to take life so seriously after all.

For example, ... Newt Gingrich stands today before an invited public and states that the release of information about Representative Foley, ... and its timing, seem to smack of political work afoot on the Democratic side. This less than a week since Karl Rove ("Bush's Brain"?) indicated he was working on an "October Surprise" to assist Republicans with the upcoming mid-term election results. Guffah, guffah! Wait, ... is Newt sending me a coded message?

Might Karl have taken a "double spin" approach? Let's say he wants to portray the Democrats as conniving, demented, Machiavelian, and sick in their manipulation of the media at a critical juncture just before an election, ... you know, like in 2000, 2002, and 2004 when the Republicans pulled that same sort of sick crap? You know, ... steamboat, swiftboat, tugboat, shitboat, or what have you?

So, ... stick with me here, I don't know that Karl had anything to do with the "Fall of Foley", ... but I do know it has sucked up a bunch of time on the MSM, and Hastert is blaming the deepest darkest parts of the Democratic Underground for the release of information, ... but still denying that they knew anything more than twenty minutes before the release of information on Friday last.

Meanwhile, at least thirteen of our soldiers have died in Iraq since Foley checked himself into rehab for an unrelated medical issue (Alcoholism) and claims it all was a result of his being molested as a child(?), although he refuses to name the church of the molesting cleric, nor the name of said cleric. So the good Congressman refuses still to protect other children, parishoners, or clerics who might be exposed to the sort of pedophile the Congressman then became himself.

Sorry, ... I seemed to have digressed in my efforts not to have taken too seriously the transgressions of the RRR.

Yep, ... this is the sort of stuff of which our times are made.

Sucks to be us, ... yes?
