RE: "The Latest from Bascomb Biggers"
 
 
It is hard to get any press these days when you are running for President of the Good Old USA, when you got a guy like that Huckster from New York who makes one outlandish statement after another, just to see how far he can go.  It seems to work too, since the press in this country would rather report the rantings of a confirmed con man, in preference to somebody who actually would like to work on fixing some of the big problems that the country is facing.  Of course, some folks think the New York Big Shot is crazy because of some of the idiot statements he makes, but I think he just likes to hear himself talk and get headlines, and he sure has got that covered.  One thing that I would bet on, is that Mr. Big Shot cares more about his hair than he does this country.
 
It is plain to see that the Skunk Party has got itself in quite a jam when they got way more than a dozen running, and the only one getting any notice is the Snake Oil Salesman from New York.  On the other hand, the front running candidate for the Polecat Party really doesn't have much time to campaign, since she has to keep busy trying to cover for the dozen or so scandals she has been involved in.
 
Folks, Old Bascomb has seen a lot of history in his time, and the country is in about as bad a shape as I have ever seen it, and this parade of fools running for President is a good example of just how bad things are.  The Good Old USA sure could use an honest man right about now, who cares more for the country than he does for himself, or all the money he can make off the job.
That's why Old Bascomb is running for President, so that we can get this ship of state back on course, and steer her toward the glory which once was America the Beautiful.  We still got the best place to live in the whole wide world, but it ain't quite what it used to be, but it still can be.  Besides all that, I sure could use a job, and I am mostly honest, and only a little bit lazy, and am willing to put what we stand for back on the map, up front, for the rest of the world to see.

Changing History

Scoop's Comment:
"The ostrich may stick it's head in the sand and deny the egg from whence it came, but we cannot deny that the past is us and we are the past, whether we like it or not.  History contains the essence of humanity, and the good and evil co-exist in us all. A great individual is no less great because he has flaws.  Those who wish to erase their past are doomed to repeat it."  scoop

RE: "Changing History"
 
In light of recent events which challenge the validity of holding certain individuals in high esteem, I would like to weigh in, and emphatically state that I believe that anyone who has ever held slaves should be erased from history, and all monuments, flags or other written documentation representing their lives should be forever banished from our sight and minds.
The following in alphabetical order, is a list of those we should begin with.
 
Abraham - Hebrew leader
Augustus Caesar - Roman Emperor
Christopher Columbus - Explorer
Demosthenes - Greek Philosopher
Benjamin Franklin - Inventor and Journalist
U.S. Grant - American President and General
Hannibal - Mid-Eastern Conqueror  
Sam Houston - General and Hero of Texas
Pope Innocent VIII - Religious Leader
Ferdinand Magellan - Explorer
Mohammed - Religious Leader
Moses - Prophet of God
Ramses - Egyptian Leader 
Solomon - Mighty King of Wisdom
George Washington - Father of our country
 
This is of course, only a partial list which can be added to later.

"The President Speaks"

"The President Speaks"
 
Well it seems that the President got caught a little off guard the other day.  He was attending a big summit in Europe about economic matters, when he got a question about those crazy people over in the Middle East who are killing everybody in sight.  I think they call themselves is, is. (Kinda reminds you of another President who said, "it depends on what your definition of is, is".  I wonder if that's where those folks who are chopping off people's heads got the idea for their name?)
 
Anyway, apparently the President was not prepared for any questions other than economic ones, so when the reporter asked what his plan was to do something about is, is, he kinda stammered around and then finally said that he did not have one.  Which seems sorta lame since he has had over a year to come up with something. Even the boys over at the five sided building got a little riled up and exclaimed, "well we have given him lots of plans, he just can't make up his mind.
 
The next statement by the President did answer most people's questions though, when he said, "Let me make one thing perfectly clear, I don't have a clue about what I am doing."

"Retirement these Days"

RE: "Retirement" ( an old one from Bascomb, but still right on the money)
 
I was sittingg down at the Nankipooh General Store the other day playing checkers with my cousin Pete on one of those plus ninety degree Nankipooh summer days, when in comes my cousin Jimmy looking just about whipped.  Old Jimmy picked up a mason jar of sweet tea and downed it in just about one gulp.  "What's up Jimmy?", I says.  "My old mule Jenny just dropped dead in the traces while I was plowing out back of the house", he says.  I guess it was time for her to "retire" he says.
 
Now that started me thinking about retirement, which ain't that far off for old Bascomb.  Of course that little dab of money I got saved up for retirement ain't much, and these days its worth less than it was, what with the Skunks and the Polecats spending money they ain't got, and printing more to cover for it.  The bank pays me less for my savings account than the rate of inflation, and yet the DC politicians keep giving the banks more money, and they keep getting richer and richer.  If they ain't got enough, the big Federal bank will loan them more at no interest.  Lets see you borrow money and pay no interest!
 
They say there is more than one way to skin a cat, and I reckon that the Shunks and the Polecats got all the ways figured out, when it comes to the big guys getting richer and the little guys getting poorer.  All they got to do is keep some of the folk's heads above water, so they can keep squeezing enough money out of them to keep themselves and the fat cats rolling.  Of course sooner or later, you can't squeeze no more out of that turnip, but they can't see that far down the road.  They just want to keep running up the debt till everything comes falling down.
 
Now I ain't trying to make you feel low, it just seems that old Bascomb and a lot of others ain't going to find retirement till we fall dead behind the plow, just like old Jenny.  The only thing I know to do is keep throwing the Skunks and Polecats out of office, till we get a batch that will stop spending money they ain't got!  That's why Old Bascomb is running for President of the  Good Old USA!
