USA

I am fond of trying to read things written in old English. I have not been very successful. I guess I need to study old English but to date I have not and the results show. I know that in the law there are words of will means something is not set in stone but shall means must. In following politics closely it is apparent that in Washington D.C. words don’t mean the same as they do in regular English. Politicians say one thing, and when the political pundits repeat it to me it has a totally different meaning than what I think I heard.  For this reason I am amused at the current crisis in the nation. It appears that the people have sent some politicians to Washington who also don’t understand Washington speak. These new politicians may not be of a mind to do what’s right for the Country, but I understand fully what they are saying. The fact that these politicians don’t know the ways of Washington or care to learn has them speaking in a language I understand better than the pundits.
It appears to me that the Tea Party was a third party movement that was hijacked by the Republican party. The Republican party with  Michael Steele as chairman was reeling from his spending habits and no discernible vision. With Dick Armey as lead dog and Michael Steele as opportunist the Tea Party movement was hijacked and Republicans reveled in the victories wrought by this movement. Now Dick Armey has unceremoniously been sent back to Texas and Michael Steele was stripped of his Republican bona-fides and exiled to MSNBC as a paid punching bag. To the dismay of their Republican hijackers this Tea Party bunch turned out to be rambunctious and demanding. They refused to wear their shackles and soon had the run of the House. The Republican elite enjoying the energy of their new House guests decided to plot a plan to keep these new House guests in place. Unbeknownst to their Republican hosts these new guests carried a virus that soon overcame their hijackers.

That brings us to the present state of politics in Washington. The Democrats not being infected by the Tea Party virus have grown a spine and the Republican hijackers have no say in their used to be House. This would all be so humorous, you know the part about the hijackers losing their House to the hijacked, except these Tea Party  people don’t want to engage in the work of governing. Their mission is to seek and destroy.  The President has decided to go toe to toe with the new rulers of the House. The pundits can’t report what’s happening because of a language barrier and all manner of havoc is set to be unleashed upon the country and all who depend on us. Pardon the havoc is already unleashed, I’m just waiting on the damage assessment.
