What a wonderful day

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Mitt Romney paid his taxes. Let’s make him president! I’m not kidding. It’s said his wealth is so vast it won’t even fit into all of the banks in this country. The record-keeping is probably nightmarish. (Maybe I’ll vote for his tax accountant.)

I agree that the present administration (no names, but rhymes with mo’ trauma) has taken what was, three short years ago, a deficit-ridden country fighting an expensive yet meaningless war in Iraq, low 7.3 percent unemployment, with economic and banking crises, and the 37th best health care system in the world (take that, Slovenia!) and driven it straight into the ground, into which it was already driven by the administration before him.

Whoa! I’m confusing myself here, but you get it. On a side note, it’s good to see the forces of intolerance back in the business of voter suppression. It’s like the Yankees winning the pennant. You may not like it but it is, after all, what makes America. Zip-a-dee-ay! America.
