I did, E. Felt like a worthy kick-off to the next 4 years…so I plopped in the DVD and got busy drawing parallels. Test of time, stood.

Billions spent this time around to market us into a corner didn’t buy the corporate pirate a ticket to the Big Chair, so he slithers back into his baneful ways behind the curtain ..wiping out livelihoods for a fast profit then ship the revs offshore. We, the lemmings that be, were a little better informed this time around…& the college kids took to the polls en masse. But no less the woe & the wonder going into the next 4. A bank is a bank is a bank. But a figurehead with humanities mostly intact could be a boon ..as far as 21st Century short-end-o-the-stick take your trickle on the budget & call it a blessing boons go.

Maybe I have more sanguine uh hopeful less angst-filled feelings about what may be the softer side of the status quo going in. Will we see the end of war profiteering in this next 4 years. Will we see the end of mindless kowtowing to the irresponsible void of humanities: superrich. Will we see a logical kind of bail-out that directly bail’s out the citizenry who’ve shouldered the heavy costs of a country that prints money like it does toilet paper instead of kick-backs to already way over-profiting while under-producing country abandoning, offshore money-laundering, far too big for their own fancy britches CEOs holding pass-keys to the platinum parachute locker. Will we see ludicrous hunger & homelessness become a dwindling absurdity in the 1st or 2nd or so richest nation in the whirl. Will we see the end to purposeful toxins in our commercial food supplies. Will we see an end to mindless poisoning of the watersheds. Will we truly see the development of solar, wind, & ocean energies unchecked by misinformation. That said, will we see the end to misinformation as a legalized means of market manipulation; the total dumbing-down of middle America. Will we see [a long-overdue transparency] & apt resurgence of checks-&-balances in govmnt. Will the Honorable Mr. President O empower the proper channels of his cabinet to begin indictments o those criminals of the state to answer for the crimes they’ve committed ..or will govmnt continue to mitigate only the bare-minimum of true impacting importance again for another period of decades while the inconsiderate & irresponsible mindless mooks of money pipelines, both the shit & the shine-olla, take & take with impunity gone to ruins. Will some of these and Many of Your own concerns be considered as more than mere campaign fodder? Is it the purposeful bottleneck of congress by powerful greedy shills & stickmen that further the toxic status quo? Or…is it the real meaning behind the Big Chair that we wallow in woe & wonder for sake o the toxic few? Do we have ANY true recourse to the law anymore? Is this really a very very Hopeful Time for the US & abroad? Just like maybe you, I HOPE so too. I really REALLy hope so too. Okay Mr. President? Okay then.. Here’s to you: Greetings & Salutations; a send-up of earnest Hopes; &.. let these woes be cast aside for a time…

Because being mad as hell hasn’t done any of us a lick of good for how many decades now… &contrary to the well-penned sentiments of Howard Beale, we just kept taking it & taking it & taking it………still
