This morning on the radio news a story about the oh so frustrated GOP voters in Alabama, choosing a senator to replace Jess Sessions.
Gee, they are so frustrated and so angry that even with both houses of congress and the White House in the hands of the GOP they are still not getting all the political goodies they have wanted for years, if not decades.
Gee, that makes them so unique and so special.
Wow.
Frustrated, are they?
Can't always get what they want, huh?
Well, I have wanted congress to plug the holes in Medicare that cost elders their life savings if they get sick since I knew they were there, three or four decades ago.
I have wanted congress to fix Social Security since I realized decades ago that people pay all their lives into a government mandated and controlled retirement system and it pays so piss-poorly that you can't retire on it, no matter how modest your needs.
I have wanted the states or the feds to man up and make quality education available to all from K through 16 and beyond, to professional and graduate school, and to cover other forms of vocational and trades training, too.
All of these have been goals of progressivism since Teddy Roosevelt articulated them in 1910, preparing for the historic election of 1912.
Are we there, yet?
No?
Gee, maybe I'll drive a car into a crowd.
And the media can be oh so sympathetic and commiserate with my entirely understandable frustration and entirely justified anger.
Jeez.
