Wander Off -- Wander Back
I feel like I've been disconnected a long time from this here ol' blog -- and the rest of the world. It was nice. And now I'm ready to get back to it all. Well, most of it. It rained a lot 'round here yesterday and I've got some ditch-clearing muscles that I was previously unaware of. *ahem - groan* More to do later today but I felt the urge to catch up. I heard a little byte from John Kerry on the radio [interview] the other day, which killed him in my view [as if he had ever been a "contendah" . . .] It went something like this:The reasons this administration has put forth for this war [Iraq] are complex and complicated ...
...uh, yeah. "Complex and complicated" is a fair appraisal of the actual situation, I would say. Kerry? no:
...My [Kerry's] reasons would be simple and easy to understand.
Thank you and don'tcallus. This ...er, fellow's grasp of world politics seems shaky at best if he thinks he can make the Middle East situation "simple and easy to understand," but what really galls me [gauls?] is the assumption about the electorate [that's you 'n' me, kids] inherent in this little bit of pedantry: Things must be made s i m p l e for those fools the voters. They cannot grasp "complex and complicated;" and "of course," they will not even try.
More of the DemoCon's condescension. [Thank you for sharing, and byte me!] Are there *really* any people, even voters, who like being talked down to?!? Who is in this party, anyway? Do they all believe they are the talkers-down-to and "someone else" is the talked-down-to?!?
sheesh. "Delusional-cratic Party"
