Everyone complained about the primary scheduling but did anyone notice the six weeks of no elections whatsoever? Did the DNC and the RNC not consider us bloggers and political humor columnists? What the hell are we going to write about?

Some are trying to come up with good fodder for us. This week President Bush is drumming up the positives about the Iraq War as we hit the five-year mark Wednesday.

Cheney is still claiming Hussein had something to do with 911. McCain is busy confusing which terrorist regime is funding/backing whom, which seems like just an argument in academia.

But this is simply more rehashed and recycled news stories.

I will buy the excuse that maybe the political media scene is worn-out from the craziness lately and could use a break. An asshole Democrat Governor’s penchant for whores sank his dreams of living in the White House. A Presidential candidate tells us that having racist friends is alright as long as you don’t believe in the rhetoric.

So that begs the question: do racists have friends and are there a lot of excuses made for awful behavior?

Joseph Goebbels (to a friend): “You know Adolph isn’t really a bad guy, he’s just misunderstood.”
Friend: “He wants to kill the Jews.”
Goebbels: “He was just kidding about the killing thing. That Hitler, what a minx!”

No elections for six weeks also means the Global Warming alarmists have more room to push their warnings the planet is on fire. These days they tell us that glaciers are melting all over the world. They know this because they studied thirty out of 100,000 total ice packs.

I didn’t know they hired Nielsen Media Research to do their surveys.

What did they do, send a diary and a ruler to thirty people that lived near a glacier? I wouldn’t be surprised if this is close to the actual experiment procedure. It would make sense since the scientists can’t figure out why the oceans aren’t warming like the fancy computer models predicted.

So this is what we have to look forward to for the next six weeks? Wake me up when it’s time for the next primary.

Or when Larry Craig resurfaces in a restroom somewhere.

Every Thursday, Chris Cameron writes this weekly political humor drivel most would find offensive and crude yet funny and topical. Who knew? You can read his other works of the humor variety at Angry Seafood.
