Creepy

The weather here has taken a turn to creepy. It is very calm. There are sporadic flashes of lightening. The muted thunder signifies that the lightening is far away. It is very warm, not hot but very warm. It is moist. The humidity must be fairly high. If I were living in Nebraska I would be heading for the storm cellar. About sixty years ago there was a very serious tornado in Worcester, which is about ten miles from here. A cool breeze would be nice and reassuring about now.
Every time I see the word creep, I think of Watergate. The Committee to Re-Elect the President was the mastermind behind the break-in. How appropriate.
I don't remember if President Nixon was impeached. All he did was subvert almost all of the laws of the United States of America. Later findings indicated that the reason that the Democrats pursued him so vehemently was that CREEP had dried up all the Democrats traditional areas of political contributions. The symbol of the Republican Party is the elephant. Elephants have long memories. President Clinton boinked some bimbo. The Republicans saw their chance for revenge and leapt. So we ended up with a Republican President and we all know how that ended up.
One way to solve the financial problems of the government might be to broadcast the daily workings of the government as a soap opera. The ratings would be stupendous and the resulting advertising income might help to reduce the national debt. Then would come the Summer when NCIS (No Congress In Session) would come on. The American people would have a chance to relax for, as the pundit said, "No man's life or property is safe while the Legislature is in session.".
President Clinton, I miss you. It was a simpler time. There was a huge surplus in the budget, you refused to send troops to Africa, there was a trombone player in the White House, and the President was concerned with boinking, not bombing. I wish that he could run again. Times have certainly changed.
