Where do you start ? Where does it end ?

[blues90]

We have less than 4 weeks until the elections .

I read things about Foley which seems to flood the air waves as if Iraq does not exist . I hear about N Korea and now the question about whether it was a nuclear test or just a spin to wear on ones nerves .

Then some small plane ends up stuffed into the side of a building in NY .

Nothing at all stays in the news long enough for anything close to an answer and then down the memory hole it goes .

What the hell happened to Lebanon and what is going on in New Orleans , what's going on in Iraq or Afghanistan ? Oh sure you get bits and pieces here and there along with the endless blogger opinions .

What's going on with the carrier heading to Iran ?

These are just questions that constantly flow through my mind on a daily basis . I don't expect answers to any one of them . It appears we will certainly find out one way of another unless we end up turned into ash of sitting in an all american containment center wearing orange with blood spots peppering the fit .

I have to wonder through all the talk of elections if we will even reach the polling place and no , this is not some liberal nut case on full alert here . One cannot even begin to make a wild guess of what will happen in the next 15 minutes or what you will wake up to tomarrow morning only to find there are ten more leaking stories and not one plug to place in the hole .

There are many political hopefuls out there running and many sound fine but I have to question , are they illuding themselves and just running upon faith that elections will happen at all ?

What do I know , I am a 57 year old baby boomer who now finds himself in some strange land where nothing seems real , I am at the point where I have to almost reach out and touch it to tell if it exists and even then I cannot be certain anylonger .

I just want to wake up and find myself coming out of a coma and find this has all been one long nightmare and go outside and hear the birds chirping again , they have even seemed to vanish around here .

I do know our cats exist , I can tell , I can smell the litter box , however this is just about all I can be sure of . You never know , this could be retained past memory .

Hell , I am still trying to figure out what the hell people were thinking when they voted for bush 6 years ago . Can someone send me some hanging chads so I know this really happened ?
