Put a Fork In It

I am not all that political to the annoyance of some and to the glee of others.

There is nothing about this primary season that I will miss.

Other than Hillary and her supporters, who among us could stomach it going any further than today?

It was longer than an arts movie house weekend of The English Patient and all the Merchant Ivory films put together and just as damn brutal to the senses.

I don't know much, but I know that our political system is broken. Candidates damn near talk in tongues depending upon the constituents they're babbling to and we let them.

What other country tortures their citizens with this incessant verbal assault that lasts for over a year hitting a peak with scratchy voices, dark eye circles and a geographical ignorance as in where am I?

And if the runners in this marathon weren't bad enough, the pundits are the underwear clad groupies who toss up softball questions all the while looking adoringly at their electoral Rock Gods.

Obama is Lennon. Bill Richardson made a perfect Paul McCartney. Hillary, alas is George and Huckabee was more Ringo than Ringo. The Huffington Post is of course the fifth Beatle.

Yes, put a fork in it.

Check please.
