Okay, I don’t do much politics on this blog. And this is why: Politics is like the moon – sometimes bright and sometimes dull, but always in the dark. Profound, absurd, cosmic, evil as Mother Goose said:
For every evil under the sun
There is a remedy or there is none.
If there be one, seek till you find it;
If there be none, never mind it.

Dr. Toepel adminstrated my kid’s school before he retired. Sutkiewicz once listened to my sermons before we became Evangelical Covenant. Dr. Toepel affirmed me and our convictions in a brief conversation after we became ECC and no longer UCC. Hmmm… I wonder what we have in common? May I bring in Will Rogers here? By all means.
“Elections are a good deal like marriages. There’s no accounting for anyone’s taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it’s the same with public officials.”
“I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.”
“The man with the best job in the country is the vice President. All he has to do is get up every morning and say, ‘How’s the President?’
So Joe will have an easy job if Mr. Obama hoodwinks us all.
“If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone, ‘America died from a delusion that she has moral leadership.” Will Rogers
After growing up and enduring life under nine Presidents and their “remedies for evil” I am still voting for Jesus and my wife’s recipe for Tuna Noodle Casserole and my mother’s recipe for Swedish Meatballs. Oh, almost forgot – and my sister’s recipe for Pecan Pie!
Did you see this quote today?
Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable.
