To me, politics seems like a big long line of people all trying to open a pickle jar. The first guy tries opening it, but he can't do it. he hands it to the next guy in line, and the next guy's all like, "You're such a fool," until he realises he can't open it either. so the next guy tries, and he's sneaky about it. he tries using a knife, or hitting of a table edge. But that doesn't work either. The next guy in line seems like he's almost got it open, and just when your tummy's rumbling with the idea of a pickle, he takes his hand away and there's a giant blister on his palm. He's no good either. The next guy secretly manages to open the jar, and steals a pickle while no one's looking, then reseals the lid and it's all hush hush. Then all the guys in line start arguing about the best way to open the jar, shouting at one another, and basically forgetting about the jars actual presence all together. And all we can do is watch these men fighting over the pickle jar, hoping against hope that one of these ejiits in line can open the blessed thing cause by now we've finished our hamburger, chips and are moving on to the jello.
Its all just a bit useless, isn't it?
And the poor people who didn't think they wanted a pickle at all, only to be told yes they do, and when the jar maybe finally gets open, have one shoved down their throats.
ReplyDeleteAh, politics is so saddening for us pickle-less people who don't even get to try opening the jar. Which, by the way, I bet a normal down-to-earth person could open if they wished, but they are smart enough not to want to try.
Is is true though...Don't they realise the futility? Then again, perhaps they do, but after all they only care about the money they get paid for taking the time to try and open it, and the money they get paid after they fail, to make them feel better.
Politicians are so useless.
Great blog, by the way. Well, what there is so far...I like.

to be honest, the people are niave enough to let the politions handle the pickles, so i doubted i can have any real sympathy for either. we voted them in, and they screwed us over. thats the way it goes. hey, we all want some pickles, but once we get the pickles, i doubt we'll be satisfied. we'll have to move on to the pickled onios.
