Everyone has been offering their analysis of last week’s electoral debacle.  And what it means going forward.

I last week offered my pre-analysis.  I didn’t have a horse in the race.  Because I don’t have a horse in the race.  I’ve gone a long way towards achieving George Carlin’s Zen-like detached bemusement with it all.

One thing of which I am entirely positive?  The Democrats didn’t win.  The Republicans lost.  But in our stupid, limited-and-limiting, see-saw two Party system?  If one Party falls?  The other rises.  By default.

For part of my election analysis, I paraphrase the great rock poet Peter Townshend:

“Meet the new dumb – same as the old dumb.”

I am reminded of a question I am told someone once asked Ralph Nader:

Interlocutor: “Are you in favor of a third party?” 

Nader: “I’d like to have a second.”

To again reference Carlin: We have the illusion of choice in our elections.  And our lives.

It doesn’t matter which puppets we elect.  The globalist Big Businesses ran the puppet show last week.  And they will run the puppet show next week. (more…)
