When I was very young, I remember my dad carrying on about Tricky Dick Nixon during something called Watergate. I remember Carter being sworn into office, they pushed a TV into the lunch room so we could watch it.

But it wasn't until 1992 campaign that I really started to track things. Good Ol' Al Gore was stumping in the campaign trail, with the "It's the economy, stupid message. Over and over and over, he exclaimed how we were in the "worst economy in 50 years!"

Wait? For real?? I was only 23 and I could remember a worse economy that 1992. Sure, it wasn't great, but there were no gas lines, double-digit inflation, and no one was laying off workers by the tens of THOUSANDS at a time, as they were in the late '70s!

So ya, I knew the Dems were full of shit. Then came "W".....

I remember Nixon as Eisenhower's Vice President. Tricky Dick got pushed out of office for helping to cover up Watergate, not for crimes his campaign helpers did. Deservedly so. I think many can agree that there is a stench of behind the scenes criminality going on in D.C. that is far greater than a B&E into some campaign office to plant mics to spy on political opponents like back in 1968. And there seems to be no interest in the MSM or the lettered federal agencies in the goings-on today. Unless...unless it can nail someone who is not part of their gang who is deemed a threat to their grift. I remember 16¢ gasoline. 6¢ colas. 5¢ candy bars. Mail delivery twice a day 6 days a week for 2¢ a letter. Even adjusted for inflation, it is, I think, safe to say this the worst economy ever. And the slide downward continues and might be impossible to stop now.

How can anyone not know that this is all a shit show? You don't need any Roddy Piper geek glasses to see it. You can feel the clown shoe on your neck.

"...clown shoe on your neck." That's a great turn of phrase! (Doffs cap in respect.)
