Conservative Donnybrook

It has probably been obvious to anyone paying attention that I have been posting infrequently of late. The truth is that I have had nothing I wanted to say about politics or government for quite some time. To be perfectly frank, I am disgusted by the whole works and find it distasteful and pointless. I find I no longer can dredge up any passion about political issues when, in the back of my head, I know whatever passion I add to the mix is ultimately without any effect. Washington will continue in its ever-more-corrupt ways, sinking into baseness and depravity, regardless of how fervently I decry the movement. And yet, we, as Americans, clamor for more and more attention from the reprobates in Washington D.C. The role of government grows and we as citizens must diminish. I have lost hope that any argument, any political movement, any amount of effort can forestall our country’s inexorable march to despotism. The only question is the speed by which we goosestep our way to totalitarianism. The ultimate outcome is so clearly evident as to seem inevitable.

And so, I wish all of our readers a heartfelt thank you. I apologize for abandoning my post. But, I truly believe there are far more important things to write about and to care about than government and politics. I leave this website and the donnybrook to those who still have the stomach for the fight. I do not.

Barack will save us
From oily doom approaching
Stand back, let him work!

Barack will save us
From unemployment malaise
With clever taxing.

Barack will save us
From global warming danger -
He’ll lower the seas.

Barack will save us
From free market ravages
And give us free drugs.

Barack will saves us
From national default shame -
Call our Chinese friends.

Barack will save us
From Middle Eastern warfare -
Give them all the Jews.

Barack will save us
From judicial activists -
Send Prof Kagan in.

Barack will save us
From fat and lazy children
If Michelle has say.

Barack will save us
From Islamic terror threats
Trying Navy SEALS.

Barack will save us
From global low opinion
Bowing to despots.

Barack will save us
From Europe’s collapse sending
Them borrowed money.

Barack will save us
Ev’rybody sing along,
He’s the Chosen One.

All that being said,
Who will save us from Barack
And his Hope and Change?

Ford executives have decided to kill the struggling Mercury brand in favor of building up Lincoln.  While the FoMoCo fan in me is sad that Merucy will be leaving the Family of Fine Cars, the realist in me knew this day was coming.  Mercury has been Ford’s slightly uglier and more pretentious twin for too long.  Even the Mercury badge became unsightly with time. 

Nevertheless, Mercury, you will be missed.
