What In The World Is A Kettle Of Fish?

OK. The elections are this Tuesday. If you're not going to vote, I have nothing to say to you except "shame". Having said that, on Wednesday we'll see little or no change in Washington or Harrisburg or almost any other state capital. In Washington, Republicans will still rule the roost except with a little more actual muscle. But the rancor will certainly still be there and with $4 billion plus spent on the election, somebody owes somebody some favors. Not just favors, but a real, under the blankets, "yessiree, anything you want" kind of respect. If you want the ear of a member of Congress, you'd better be ready and able to show them the money trail that leads to the secret money you gave to a PAC in their favor. And I don't mean a fin (that's a $5 bill). We're talking big time money, because that's what Washington is all about and will be until the Supreme Court's permission slip on secret spending is stopped. For that to happen, Congress will have to pass legislation outlawing it. Care to hold your breath? After all, Congress has been promising to pass such legislation for a long time without any progress. Well actually that's not true, they once did pass some laws, but those are the laws the Supreme Court stomped on. So the future of our government will be controlled by very wealthy people with agendas and corporations from who knows where and political action committees willing to falsely attack anyone they're told to. It's a fine kettle of fish they've gotten us into.
