Politics a'brewing
Oscar Wilde would have loved the Republican Primary. He would say such contests are possible because the rabble always prefer piety and superstition and there are plenty of politicians willing to dish it out while the noble in heart cling to science and truth. Witness the rise of Sarah Palin, Michele Bachman and Rick Perry. More classic examples include the Salem Witch Trials and the Spanish Inquisition. Oscar would have also said, "Stop laughing. This is not funny."

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone cares what a few hundred people think about anything, much less who should be our president. I keep my own counsel, thank you.
ReplyDeleteBesides, all primaries do is force candidates of both sides to be even crazier than they are...which they'll just have to fix in the general.
