A Lot of Chris, Very Little of That

Now that the U.S. has spent well over an hour of TV “Breaking News” time to cover New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s not-surprising news at a press conference where he once again explained that he will not run for Prez, many in the Tea Party and general GOP Presidential Hopefuls may now get back to the business of campaigning if still in the race, or focusing on those who actually want the job and not pressure a relatively inexperienced politician to get into the fray.

Although many believe Christie would give Obama more than a run for his campaign monies in 2012, Christie has other priorities. Such as remaining somewhat private and able to tell constituents that his private life is “None of your business” without being told such a retort isn’t presidential. So, another once-promising-for-the-GOP sacred cow bites the gritty political dust. Too bad, GOPer’s, but Chris wants to stay in Jersey and continue to yell at people to get the hell off the shore with the arrival of a hurricane.

So be it.

Now on to the bitter taste of Romney as the potential Great Hope for the Republican Party. Too bad he’s so disliked by his colleagues. But, sometimes you have to take what is given to you and do your best to make a lovely silk campaign money bag out of Mitt’s well-combed hair. Something like that.

Now, what else is going on? Hmmm. I think there is a quiet movement out there called “Occupy Wall Street” with peaceful protests against the debauchery of Wall Street Investment Banks and the crazed Traders and the CEO’s of banks who love to drink Champagne in the face of frugal-seeking citizens. It was once “Let them eat cake.” Now, in another century, the cynical sentiment from the privileged class to the Great Unwashed has grown into a different level of French-based haughtiness. All they are missing is the caviar and the U.S. moves one step closer to revolution.

Drink up, Wall Street. One day your perks may be flowing down your walled street like a broken sewage pipe. Unless you have a kayak or rubber boat at hand, you could end up stranded. Just like those you left at the mortgage and loan alters who now have the upper hand in how to survive when one is under water.

See ya’ at the gurgle fest.
