In which I learn never to doubt America

[snowywolfowl]

Ok Americans. I have a confession to make. When we gave the world Rob Ford it wasn't just an amusing view into Canadian political insanity. It was a challenge, a mic drop, a battle roar where we beat our chest, looked south of our border and said "See this America! You can take your predetermined presidential nominations and unending electoral cycle. We have a beloved leader who openly smokes crack. How are you going to top that, eh?"

Well you not only topped it, you have gone nuclear in the form of the bright orange mushroom cloud toupee of Donald Trump. I mean this is so overpowering it isn't even fair. You're not even in an election yet! How am I supposed to educate myself on the issues I will be voting for here in Canada when every time I sit down  to read up on them The Donald unleashes his wisdom on the world?

Please stop! I surrender! I surrender! I'll never doubt America's capacity of sheer insane political spectacle again! :-)

Sometimes, we amaze ourselves.

Hey be proud I say. Only in America can you get a range that includes Donald Trump, Another Bush and the Twelve Angry Men, Empress Hilary, and a guy so middle of the road in Bernie Sanders he's practically a Stalinist commie.

How do you ever get anything done when you have such fascinating politics to follow all the time? :-)

On a personal level? I've learned to avoid television news the same way I avoid the bubonic plague.

On a national level? Um. Well. :)

It is so refreshing to see a man who is so rich and shrewd realize that he no longer needs to buy politicians. He just needs to buy the election! :-)

I'm now starting to see what our current Prime Minister is being inspired by. They say Canada is usually about 25 years or so behind America in these things...
