Roses are red, violets are blue....

If it weren't such a serious crisis facing our country it would have been even funnier. How disconnected is Harry Reid? Our nation is so far in debt we are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and Harry says the "mean-spirited" bill would mean the end of the Cowboy poetry festival. Let that sink in for just a moment. We are going to run out of Social Security money soon enough and Harry is worried about the prose of John Wayne wannabe's coming to Nevada.


Let's pass over the fact that an inanimate object cannot be mean spirited or happy or anything else. Glaring stupidity was on full display when Harry added,"Without our Cowboy Poetry Festival, the tens of thousands of people who come to northern Nevada every year would cease to exist." Are they cloning people at the festival? Or do they spontaneously combust if they don't get to hear a Haiku once a year? Do they commit suicide if no one spouts out a limmerick? I had no idea how vital the Cowboy Poetry Festival was to the existence of tens of thousands of people.


Can you imagine the pressure to find a word that rhymes with "orange sunset" knowing people will just cease to be if you can't figure one out? What is really frighteneing is that Harry was just re-elected to the Senate. How can you be that far remove from reality? We have 45 out of our 50 states are in the red with their budget. The defecit this year is 1.3 trillion and the democrats and Harry in particular don't think any cuts should be made. A measley 4 billion out of a 1.3 trillion dollar budget. At some point don't we have to be adults?


Cut spending is what 70% of the country wants. Will you have to raise taxes? Probably at some point but to do that now is just taking an alcoholic to a bar and telling him, "Watch my drink while I go to the bathroom" and then being surprised when it's gone when you get back. If we don't start having a serious conversation about entitlements we will all be attending Harry's beloved Cowboy Poetry Festival. Roses are red and violets are blue, I am screwed and so are you........





Till next.........
