so whatcha think?  trump as next in the big white house?  could it actually happen?

LyndonB sent me a gag last night. 

Q: What is the difference between the White House and a zoo ?

A: A zoo has an African lion....and the White House has lynin’ African….

It’s a chuckle but it got me thinking about things and so I wrote him back. After I clicked send and re-read my thoughts, it occurred to me I ought to bounce this off you folks and see what you think.
I’m assuming many here are younger by at least a decade and maybe more.  I have added much here to my original reply to Lyndon cos I was still thinking as I wrote.

I heard an interesting interview and comment on BBC4 last night. Or maybe the night before. One running into another lately.
Maybe you heard it too. (that was addressed to LyndonB)

An American aide or spokesperson ??? something like that. Anyway he was speaking of the Trump draw on the public imagination but said mostly ppl who don’t read much etc. Words to that effect.  But he said that the American ppl in the end wouldn’t elect Trump, and while he wasn’t a fan of Hillary, she’s more likely to win it all in the end. 
Well, I suppose if that is true she still might be better then her opposite, died in the wool socialist, Sanders.  Frankly, both of em scare the be-jabbers outta me.  Come to that, I haven’t much faith in anyone anymore. 

When ya come right down to it, does it really matter any longer?  That’s a serious question.

I’m a bit jaded these days.  In my late 70s, I’ve been asked for donations to save Afrika and before that the starving kids in China at the end of WW2. I think the begging started around the 6th year of my being. Maybe 7.  I’ve heard speeches and when young might have been carried away by some. Not much anymore tho. I’m old and I’m tired and they’ve all been full of it all these years.

I might vote and then squeeze eyes tight and hope I made the right choice.

And I say that like we really have one. Trump aside.  Ya know, it might be fun just to see what kind of trouble Trump could get us in if elected.
I am very tired of the speeches made and comments made in interviews, whereby the speaker whoever that is, bangs on about improving our image in Europe.  Or expresses concern about our world image.  I actually want someone to say hey, Europe. Fuck You!  You don’t like our policies and you don’t approve of Gitmo?  Well hell’s bells. Come out with it and declare war on us and lets settle things once and for all.  Howzthat?

Yeah that’s the other damn thing that has me fired up and feeling like I had my finger on the trigger.  Gitmo.  Why the F*** is that place any business of anyone else outside the USA?  Why are some Americans telling us we can improve our image by shutting it down?
We should keep it open for business just to piss off the lovey left and Euro-weenies.

It’s late, I’m tired and outta here for now. Stay tuned.

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.
