Mr. Personality

Here's an irony for ya...

Typically a presidential candidate is elected, in large part, by virtue of his personality. Is he handsome? Is he funny? Is he charming?

Those are the factors upon which we base our decision to vote for, or against, a given candidate.

We give much less attention to whether or not they have the actual ability to lead us as a nation. And we don't seem to give a damn about their intellectual prowess. They are not judged on their capacity to form a cogent argument or put two big words together in a sentence.

No, we are more concerned with social things like hair cuts, blond trophy wives and plastic, cut-out, smiling, idiot children.

So it will be a supremely ironic twist if this year's Republican nominee, and possibly the "Next President of The United States", is a man with no discernible personality.

Actually, that is not completely true. Willard does have a personality. It's a bit stiff and totally disconnected from the rest of us, but it's still there.

He is, seemingly, a bright man and his ideas are not all stupid but he is so mechanical and ill at ease that the idea of having to listen to him for four years is enough to make me want to go to Canada...on the roof of my own car!

So...Rick Santorum with is firebrand, Neo-Reformation Crusades mentality and snake-oil salesman delivery, Newt Gingrich with his Pontiff-like ARROGANCE and dismissive style and Ron Paul playing the part of Captain Kangaroo on crack...

They won't get the nod. Mr. Polymer will.

Which is really too bad. Medical research has shown that some plastics are carcinogenic.

That's all this country needs. MORE Cancer.

We already feel like throwing up. What's a little more chemo to brighten our future?

Wheatgrass anyone...?
