Corrupt Politician... Wow!
Let's see. I'm supposed to share my story. OK. So it's December 9th and my wife and I are so busy in this troubled economy trying to make money that we have not put up the outdoor lights yet. Sure it's not a big deal but still, we have not gotten to it yet. Getting out to the garage to unravel a frozen mess of tangled lights is not as high on our list as keeping the family running. We have all been sick recently. The best part of the season so far, (this is sarcasm) was on the New York State Thruway heading south on the way to my mother in laws for Thanksgiving. Our youngest son who is almost 2 vomited all over himself in is nicest clothes between exit 18 and 17. We had to get off at exit 17 and throw out all his clothes and his car seat and replace them all. We asked no one for help by the way. Nor did we expect any. We simply did what had to be done. Even our 2 year old son just sat back and accepted the situation as best he could. So we pressed on. We went to Thanksgiving and did the best we could.
We have all since contracted the horrible stomach virus. Still we keep working. We keep pressing on. We have loads of fun every day. We cook. We clean. We write to support ourselves. We still need to put up those holiday lights. We will get to it. I ams sure we will.
OK so I am now going to try and relate my life to this cursing, lowlife, expletive, expletive, expletive of a politician. Sorry. I can not do it. I just went to Wall Mart earlier and spent about $150 on groceries. I doubt this expletive politicians life can relate to my story in any way. He is about to go to jail. I will only experience jail through such films as "The Shawshank Redemption" or "The Green Mile."
My holiday season will be spent in the company of friends, family and loved ones. This expletives holiday will be spent in the company of lawyers and, um, other corrupt politicians.
Remember people, we only hear about the corrupt unlucky idiots. There are a lot of smart corrupt politicians out there. They run the country. They take your pay and spend it on their big houses, their amazing health care plans and oh, once in a while they fix a crumbling bridge with it.
My family pays our health care premium out of our own pocket every month. Drumroll, $1100! We pay our dental bills out of pocket. This is all after taxes, I mean, after we give our good money over to the glorious politicians.
forgive my sarcasm. Forgive my apathy. but seriously folks, another corrupt politician? CNN needs a whole channel for these people. CNN/CORRUPTION.
Happy holidays. Remember if you spend every last dime you earned this year, you might help the economy!
