Looking for Abe

When he was frustrated or perturbed, Grandpa E. V. Bennett would often say, "Dadgummit!" Well, I say, "Dadgummit" to all this 2016 political campaign poppycock. I am weary of the constant 24/7 news coverage of the clowns running for the United States presidency.

Instead of talking about the foolish nonsensical subjects such as candidates' wives, the size of one's hand, a wall, which will never be built, racist comments about minorities and religious groups, using phrases, i.e.  Bomb the shit out of them or bomb then until the sand glows, I prefer my next President to be of a different ilk. I'd like that leader to be so cerebral that he/she sleeps with one eye open reading government reports.

You readers know that person. He was the 'nerd' sitting next to you in high school chemistry who on the first class meeting memorized the Periodic Table while the teacher was taking role. He was the guy who walked the college campus oblivious to homecoming. I want my next Nation's leader to be a person who answers the 'Red Phone' on the first ring at 3 AM because he/she is sitting up in bed playing Sudoku puzzles. We are in trouble.

It is easy to see that our American voters are also lacking in brain power. How else would we explain that voters are motivated, by in large, by hate messages rather than substantive messages. The nature of the beast is to first process 'how does it affect me?' That said, most people feel angry with circumstances and wish to assign blame while rallying around the candidate who vents with ugly verbal attacks. Go figure. In a country whose philosophy is based on Judea-Christian principles, it's people surely embrace the voices of separation and hate.

Of course, the next President must hit the pavement running. That person must address the ISIS terrorist problem and convince Congress to develop a PSA...that is a Potty Security Administration similar to the (TSA) Transportation Security Administration. The PSA Agents will be assigned to public restrooms to body scan crotches before entering public pottys.
