Is lack of politics killing this blog?

BMEWS readership is slowly ebbing away. We were getting about 1000 visits a day back when I took this place over. That’s way down from the 2000+ when the Skipper was around. Now we’re down to around 600. Of course, I’m basing my numbers on a different tracking system than what they were using, and while that does make a difference, the numbers are falling. Maybe I have to get back into political blog. Yech. I’ll do what I have to do, but I’ll want to dip my keyboard in bleach afterwards.

I have not been running the never-ending stories about Hillary and Obama that everyone else has. What’s the point? Both of them are Marxist idiots who shoot themselves in the foot almost every day. If you haven’t figured that out yet I can’t help you. Schadenfruede? That only goes so far. Once the clowns have kicked themselves in the ass 10 times it stops being funny. At 20 times it’s no longer pitiful, pathetic, or even bathetic. It’s just boring.

This election cycle is never ending and I am beyond bored with it. i was bored with it a full year ago. By the time November gets here I’ll be amazed if 20 voters can retain enough consciousness to drag themselves to the polls. It’s that dull, really. We’ve got a choice ... some choice: a liberal posing as a conservative, running against your choice of either a communist posing as a liberal or a marxist posing as a liberal. None of the three has even a spark, much less a flame of excitement. Big money politics vs big money politics vs big money politics pretending not to be big money politics. Lame.

This is the 21st century. The age of instant communication. There is no reason at all why this entire race can’t be run in a weekend. Ok, a month. Two months tops. And that would save hundreds of millions of dollars of public and private money otherwise wasted on the MSM. They’re the ones making the money off of this. They’d be happy if the election cycle lasted a decade each time. Well, too bad for me, but I don’t want to play. It took me perhaps a week, way back when, to figure out which candidate I stood behind. By the time my state primary arrived, he was no longer running, although he was still on the ballot. Hello, age of instant communication? Duh, you guys ever hear of an update? So I voted for my second choice guy, who promptly removed himself from the race. Great. And at the end, the one clown left in the ring was the one guy I didn’t want under any circumstances. Double great.

Meanwhile, the left half of the country has just been going wild for their two leftovers. The Smartest Woman in the World (says who?) vs the Negro from Nowhere. Endless debates with the same old softball questions and the same old canned BS responses. Mrs. Tough Guy (oh, why are they picking on me, I’m a girl!) against Mr. Bitter and his wife Mrs. Bitterer, both of them products of the very best schools in the world, both of them living nearly in The Land Beyond Money. Victims of the Man Holding The Brothers Down. And us, the poor citizens and TV viewers, told a hundred million times that the DNC race isn’t about gender or race, which is a total crock, because that race is about nothing other than race or gender. It’s tiring being lied to every single day.

Hillary doesn’t need a gun to shoot herself in the foot. She doesn’t need Bosnian snipers to do it for her either. All she has to do is stand up at the podium with her red faced Lothario next to her and everyone can not fail to shudder at the thought of that lecher being back in the White House being “co=president” again. And then he opens his mouth and makes it worse. You don’t even need to hear what she has to say, though it’s the same tax & spend, cut & run , socialist crapola she’s been dribbling for years. Just seeing old Slick Willy up there ought to send you running for your life.

Obama. Obrother. Oblarney. What. a. tool. How many episodes of proof will it take to convince people he’s an empty suit with a red lining? 100? 500? It isn’t happening. Every time he opens his mouth he either sticks his other foot in, or spews out another iteration of the Emperor’s New Clothes. He speaks in empty phrases. He has no plan. He wants to tax you naked “because it’s the fair thing to do”. He’s a hater. A racist. He hangs out with racists and bomb throwing anarchists. And people can’t or won’t figure him out. He’s the big mystery. It’s taken 4 solid months of his goofs just to wear enough shine off his aura so that people aren’t “getting taken up” and fainting at his speeches. 4 months just to bring the Obamessiah down to human standards so that it’s almost Ok to have questions and doubts. About the people around him, not Obama hisself. Sheesh. I am embarrassed for my country that so many of us are so willfully blind.

And where is McCain in all this? Gosh, old OLD Johnny boy is on the backburner because he’s got no money. Due to his own stupid legislation that didn’t foresee the never-ending campaign we’re enduring. Gee, too bad for you, Mr. “give up your First Amendment Rights”. It’s only a miracle that he dumped the Hezbollah funding guy working on his Michigan staff. He still has that Mexican double agent though Juan Hernandez, right? Yeah. And he’s still fighting with the GOP, calling us out of touch. Holy shit. You couldn’t haul a big enough cluebat with a tractor trailer truck.

So, once more into the breach dear friends? Politics and more politics and more politics? Or should I just go all Manolo and turn this site into yet another shoe blog?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
