Nepotists = FAIL

The Captain lays it out right.

Caroline Kennedy would like to become senator of New York.

Well who freaking wouldn’t?

Hell, I wouldn’t mind becoming a senator. Of course, it’s along the same lines of listening to these 20 something girls who say, “Well I like traveling.”

Again, who freaking wouldn’t? They make it sound like it’s a hobby they slave at or major in during college.

It’s the issue of whether you are so luxuriously rich and paid for that you can AFFORD to travel. And thus it is the same thing when it comes to becoming senator.

If you can afford to become a senator, well then isn’t it a cute little noble “hobby” for you? No, no, it’s not a serious job where millions of people’s lives depend on the decisions you make. No, it’s like traveling or playing Barbie.

Now I’ve tried to warn you people about nepotists. It is the nepotists that are largely to blame for our problems today. People who had no skill, no game and no talent, but instead were put in charge of the country’s most powerful positions because of who their daddy was.

Go read the rest.  He tells it like it is.  As a teaser, it ends like this:

Americans, specifically, New Yorkers have a chance to pull their heads out of their asses and elect a normal person. And if you don’t, then you can expect to have the same things;

A perpetuity of incompetent, spoiled brats who view public service as a cute little hobby and a means by avoiding work at all costs, and the economic mess we’ve gotten ourselves into.

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.
