Einstein's Ghost

Looking down on disaster

Old Albert is looking down in stunned disbelief at our unbelievable political season,

he's finally witnessed the stake though the heart of 

wondering and reason.

It's thoughtful competence, vs. knee jerk idiotic, 

meaningless rhetoric.

Calm and cool, measured logic, vs. egotistical revenge, 

pathetic.

He never ever thought in a million years he'd see this day,

it makes him sort of glad that he's spared the shame and 

passed away.

This election marks the official end to I.Q.--to thinking at 

all,

and he's glad he didn't live to see the mighty intelligence 

fall.

He looks down with such wonderment and keen distaste,

on the idiot's mask some people wear to disguise their 

face,

at the ridicule and the sense of distrust with which some 

view thinking.

He says to himself how our brains must be shrinking,

and turns away from having to watch anymore of this 

absolute train wreck

that serves as our politics, where thoughtful and stupidity 

are neck and neck.

Hi, Michael! :)
I voted on Tuesday, Dems all the way. The GoP is a circus this time around.

Yeah it sure is, and a dangerous one at that. I'm with you on Democrats, all the way around. I voted a couple of days ago, so we're both in!
