Runaway oil prices, runaway rice inflation and runaway housing deflation. Oh yeah, and isn't there a war going on?
If the new strategy for distracting our attention from Iraq is to focus us on the dismal state of our economy, then my hat's off to the administration. People are so freaked out -- and rightly so -- about the fact that their wallets and their buying power are shrinking like cheap cotton pajamas, you can barely conjure up a healthy debate about what's going on in the least popular war since the bad old days of Vietnam.
I never would have guessed these fellows could drop all the balls at once. I guess it must be something like multi-tasking. Who knew you couldn't spend like drunken advertising executives on a war without breaking something? You honestly don't know what you should be more freaked out about; the economy, the environment, the people who were just getting by as it is, or a war that's not even front page news anymore.
Maybe it'll all be better in November. I'm sure Hillary, Barack or McCain must have some handy-dandy-Swiss-Army-knifelike all-purpose solution up their sleeves. That's if they can find the time to think of one while they're busy pointing out who's chosen to use the occasional ill-conceived phrase, drinking shots and beers, bowling or apologizing for smear campaigns run in their name that they claim to have no control over.
I honestly don't know who has the answers, I'm sure not claiming to, but with all the crap out there let's hope someone does.
Not preaching, just freaking a little.
