Don't Fuck with America

It’s been pretty interesting to watch the Russian Georgian conflict through the American eye. It is depressing to watch our government squirm in its own powerlessness. Russia’s invasion of two of Georgia’s northern territories has Russia boldly taunting the western democracies, their fingers pointing their noses up like a group of angry French waiters. America is doing some posturing and making scolding statements against Russia’s actions, but what is amazing is watching everyone in our government say as quietly and unnoticeably as possible that military action is really not on the table. It might almost make someone believe that we are finally coming to terms here, in America the Great, with our actual size on the world stage. We don’t seem to be standing up so big as we have been acting. We certainly aren’t going to go pick a fight with Russia. We thought we were pretty safe taking on enemies in Iraq, but we can’t even win there. We aren’t gaining much ground in Afghanistan, and we have amassed maybe the biggest debt in all of history, and who is the loan shark with the baseball bat to crack in our kneecaps if we can’t pay up? That’s just China. We don’t want to make them mad. We are suddenly bare assed, and despite the Viagra we’ve been consuming, we are just not the superpower we thought we were.
John Heroman McCain is busy trying to take advantage of these events, posturing as if he is the tuff guy, beside the fact that he looks like Skeletor. We got no tuff left in our bank. America is just not the powerhouse it thought it was. Our soaring eagle is paper thin. Many Americans are living life in a vacuum of debt, which is enriching the upper echelons. Instead of trickle down economics we are experiencing vacuum up economics. The super rich are packing their accounts with wealth as the debt of the nation and so many of its people just multiplies.
I’m hungry, let’s get a taco. Come to paradise, up here in the mountains of $1000 dollar a plate, McCain fundraisers, where a trailer costs a million dollars. The air is clean, if you can afford it.
