Once upon a time in February...

"But are they good and getting better? If one were honest, the answer would be "YES". If the person were dishonest, the answer would be "Orange Man bad"! And that is the tale of that tune."

The Bird is a bit tardy these days, as he still on assignment. The assignment of "looking for the real America" is going quite well, thank you. We just returned from a mini vacation within our longer vacation, to visit a relative and some very good friends. The entire time, I was looking at the lay of the land - so to speak. Like, how to people come down on the side of the impeachment acquittal. I could find nothing. All I could find was happy Americans enjoying life.

And why should they not be? The economy is still going gangbusters, the "satisfaction factor" is off the charts good. How good? According to Pew, 90% of all Americans are satisfied with their lives right now.

Oh come on Bird! Was is it? Early cocktail hour? Did you not see the debate last night? We are all going to hell in a hand basket! How in the world can anyone, save billionaires like Mike Bloomberg or Tom Steyer, be satisfied?

First off, I did not see the debate. I did listen to parts of if on the long drive up from central Florida up to the panhandle this morning. I am sorry. Ms. Nancy may think our President is "forever impeached", but he is still alive and kicking. There is not ONE person in the Clown Car, worthy of giving our President even a boring spin around the block.

Wait a minute! What about Joe Biden? The front runner? Gone. Dead man walking. Elizabeth Warren? With her credentials? Not dead yet, but starting to circle the drain. Amy? Still here, but barely. Pete and Bernie? The two current leaders? And the rest of the Clown Car? Maybe it is time to look for something else to do. 

What about Deval Patrick? The BFF of Barack Obama and the the past Governor of MA? Who? Never heard of him. Then Tom Steyer? A former hedge fund manager? He has been drawing about zero percent in the polling. Okay then - we have Mike Bloomberg. He is a guy much richer than our President was before entering office. But he has no game. Nada. He is short and not too the point. Spend a lot - get very little.

So where are we? As I continue to look for all the dissatisfied Americans that the Clown Car has telling us about, all I have found is happy and content Americans. In February, this cold and desolate month in the north land, I continue to scrounge about in the south for the misery thar Democrats have been telling us about. Are things perfect? Not a bit. But are they good and getting better? If one were honest, the answer would be "YES". If the person were dishonest, the answer would be "Orange Man bad"! And that is the tale of that tune.
