I would have to say it's been a fair shake of time since my last post. Indeed, the last post was even a school assignment that I somehow felt obligated to post to this blog. God help us all.
The surviving rats of the political sphere have apprehended the most lecherous creatures, once again, to run for office in desolate and despicable places. Congressman Todd Akin has somehow managed to avoid a hanging and continue his seemingly hopeless run for a seat in the Senate on behalf of Missouri. His ideas about rape and pregnancy are right up there with bloodletting to cure infection —which I have always found to be quite effective.
Not that Missouri is either desolate or despicable (Mizzou friends need not take offense, as I assume you are similarly shamed by your failing leadership), necessarily. But honestly, it's no California.
Akin's trouble began when someone let him speak freely. This same issue happened to President G.W. Bush with some regularity, and made for fantastic sound bites in each day's news cycle. Apparently, Akin's campaign manager failed to wake up from his cocaine/whisky hangover on that particular day. Those Midwest republicans certainly know how to combine booze and drugs to a finely honed point of near certain self-destruction before pulling it back just one notch and surviving to the next bender.
As a fan of benders and self-destructive behavior, I can see the attraction of their party and their candidates, but it's hard to get behind the science of auto-rape-pregnancy-prevention in a woman's body. I can't say where that idea came from exactly, but my sources have placed it firmly between the Bible and some more risque books by Stephen King. Sounds fairly legitimate to me.
Alas, the presidential race is fairly close, but still will be a losing matter for Mr. Romney. I have not been out on the campaign trail, but rumor has it that he takes his breakfast dressed in extremely inappropriate fashions.
Now I must go...the beer is running out and I need a bloody mary.
