A Case of Political Fatigue

My emotions have been like a yoyo these last few months. The political pundits blathering on endlessly creating nothing but noise. Everyone thinks they are saying something no one else has said before, as they repeat the same tripe over and over.

Numbers are thrown around, juggled and created. Prognostication runs amok and maps are colored and re-colored. We have been given mental paralysis by analysis. No one knows the future but everyone seems to feel they have the gift or ESP.

Questions are asked to fill in the void where answers are not available. It’s frustrating to most of us. Some are deeply angry as well.

Our economy is tanking while we take grocery money to fill up our gas tanks. We all know the problems we are facing now and will face in the future. The scenario is not even a blush of rosy.

Yet the political creature moves on and on. It sucks all the air and the intelligence out of the air waves. It trumps all other news. It eats up everything in its path.

For me, the monster of politics is going to take a backseat. It cannot be stopped, but for a while, for me, it can be ignored.
