Dog and Pony Show

I'm getting very tired of the "dog and pony show" going on (today at Mile High Stadium/Invesco Field) in Denver this week. It's impossible to avoid it because the so-called "news sources" ALL are "wall-to-wall" with it. It's as if there is NO other news in the world. There is no way to avoid it short of just hitting the off button" on your television or radio. The worst part of it is there's no respite after the DNC gets finished because then they go directly to Minnesota for the REPUBLICAN National Convention where similar expensive, but unimportant things will go on all NEXT week. Just before that was the Olympics, also "wall-to-wall." What amazes me is that they think all this "sound and fury signifying nothing" is important. It's not. They've already picked their nominee (Hillary fizzled) for both spots, on both sides, so why do they need to spend all this money? Because they can; it's their biggest party in four years and they both mean to make the most of it.

I just hope all the politicians survive all the drinking and partying at our expense. It's also a podium from which the Democrats (and their accomplices) can say "good things" about their lame candidates and be taken seriously, just as if what they were saying was important. And there is going to be "more of the same" all next week, and the "sound and fury" will continue right up to the election. The only problem with this so-called "free society" of ours is the election process, which has not stopped since the LAST election in 2006. People wonder why I'm not right in the middle of it, since this blog is all about politics. The answer is, these "shows" are NOT politics. They're a "show" for "the masses," to convince us they're important. What IS important is what these politicians DO after they get elected, and THAT'S what I cover, bringing you news and info the liberal press means to keep from you. (Just common sense)
