NOTES OF CONCERN…

LET’S JUST CANCEL 2015
2014 was a disaster!
What a year.
It will be over in one month and it was packed with lots of
charges, countercharges, political campaigns, non-stop ridiculous political
advertisements, political signs on every spare piece of land along highways in
50 states, robocalls, unwanted mail, unwanted email, tons of unsupported
speculation, and non stop television talk shows.
America needs a little breathing room.
So I suggest we cancel 2015.
This is a bold and unprecedented idea and I don’t know how
it will affect global warming, the oceans, or even the required reprinting of
calendars.
What I do know is that 2016 will be worse than 2014 and we
have to give ourselves a chance to gird up for what is coming.
There will be
battles royal in 2016. Every Tom, Dick and Hillary who want to be president
will be running up a gazillion frequent flier miles, reaching out to us in
every possible way to get our support, personal and financial.
Whatever we experienced in 2014 will be multiplied in 2016.
In 2014 I received more email from my new friend Jeanne
Shaheen than from my closest friends. She wanted to keep me informed of her
love of New Hampshire. She wanted me to know how important I was to her
campaign and to the future of New Hampshire. She assured me the Democrat party
of New Hampshire considered me vital to the election.
Friends, I am a registered Republican and I live in
Massachusetts.
I never
contacted Senator Shaheen. If I had been allowed to vote in New Hampshire,
which is surely illegal, I would have voted for Scott Brown. So what stars
aligned to make Senator Shaheen my pen pal? I have no idea.
Equally confusing is that I never heard from Scott Brown.
He didn’t reach out once. Since he undoubtedly knew a guy
from Massachusetts cannot vote in New Hampshire he just strengthened his bona fides
with me as a man who had a clue as to how to operate.
So since President Obama plans to make all sorts of
decisions before the end of the year by executive fiat, without consulting
Congress, I am writing to him and suggesting he cancel 2015. He could hide it
in some other more important Executive Action and it might just slide by.
Actually, 2015 isn’t looking too friendly for Obama so he
might see merit to my suggestion. If he cancels 2015 there can be no government
shutdowns, no impeachment bills introduced, no time for Boehner and McConnell
to beat up on him, and 12 quiet non-existent months to play golf without being
noticed.
This could turn into a popular movement. It has a hidden
benefit-all of us would be a year younger the rest of our lives.
