Close to Home by John McPherson for May 29, 2016

I kinda like the silly string fight. I’d tune in for that.

The movie, ‘Idiocracy’ from 2006 takes place 500 years into the future. In reality, it’s already here. People have dumb themselves down by wanting to be entertained all the time and not wanting to do anything with politics, or even take it serious. Regardless of party preference, we allow ourselves to let the “media” (angry, one-sided, screaming people) tell us what to believe and who to vote for.

Somebody light a candle.

At least it wasn’t Cheez Whiz.

Our choices this election year has hit an all time low. They all scare me. Are we ready to climb into that hand basket?

Too late, we are up the proverbial creek sans paddle.

I would actually have far more respect for politicians if they had real fights, whether it be silly string or actual mud-slinging, than I do now for their verbal mud-slinging.

We need something classier, like a cream pie fight.

If that’s really what it took, then you’re definitely the target demographic here…

Silly string my toosh! Give me 5 seconds of Splatoon with these losers!
