So SIR Paul McCartney, once famous as the “cute” Beatle and also, as part of one of John Lennon’s more over the top promotional gimmicks, briefly famous as the “dead” Beatle, put in an appearance at an extravagant private show for Jug Ears and a few of his selected cronies in Washington last week. Nero style absurdly expensive displays and parties have become the hallmark of this hate America administration, wasting money our country does not have, with no thought of responsibility nor for integrity, for personal indulgence rock events featuring has been industry personalities, political gatherings held in specially constructed and lavishly decorated tents where the politically plugged in cavort in a style that would have put the most corrupt and degenerate Caesars to shame and weekend dates to New York City totaling in at a million plus per shot while “average” and not politically advantaged Americans are looking at official unemployment figures hovering at ten percent with unofficial real time unemployment totaling at more than twice that number and with no turnaround expected any time soon. The absurdity is worse than the classic tale of Nero fiddling while Rome burns. The smartest man in the room has to go find someone else to play the damned fiddle!

At this particular debauch at which SIR Paul was the exhibit on display, the aging Beatle who ceased being “cute” long ago, is quoted as having said, "After the last eight years, it's good to have a president that knows what a library is".

As someone is reported to have responded, “The anointed one may know what a library is supposed to be and he may have a few books of his own, but those with inside knowledge say he has not yet coloured all of them.”

It’s the same old threadbare and done to death charge, that George W. Bush is sooooooooooooo stupid. I personally have serious issues with George W. and his administration, primarily that he explicitly laid the foundation for this regime’s unconscionable excesses, but I’m getting a bit sick of hearing the same “Bush Is So Stupid!” mantra that’s been trotted out ad infinitum for the past ten years. Can’t the Smartest Administration Ever and their cronies come up with a few variations on a theme. We all know Bush is stupid. We have all heard Bush is stupid. We all dream Bush is stupid in our sleep. Can’t we have another charge, any charge, from the smartest group of political elitists to exist in all of human history?

George W. Bush may factually have the intelligence of an overcooked carrot, but George W. is not the one forking out some $2 million to keep sealed his records of academic achievement in an attempt to hide from public scrutiny how laughably pathetic his grades were in a scholastic career that has been charitably described as “indifferent at best”. And while we are discussing industrial strength stupid, there are reports George W. Bush went up in a National Guard fighter jet last month to log in some flight time. When was the last time the Smartest Man In Any Room He Walks Into drove anything that requires more skill than piloting a golf cart?

And while discussing things stupid, SIR Paul, if memory serves it was not George W. Bush who married gold digger Heather Mills nor was it George W. Bush who joined the ranks of the brain dead groupies that sat drooling at the feet of Indian con artist Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Neither was it George W. Bush who takes the blame for writing “Silly Love Songs”, the only musical exercise labeled a controlled substance on the grounds that hearing it played on radio places the listener at grave risk for developing severe diabetes. It is obvious from photographs released of those taken at the White House’s private concert for the Chosen One’s indulgence quite a number of years have gone by since anyone would have considered SIR Paul to be “cute” but, apparently, he’s still dead.

While most people can be said to have made some stupid mistakes at one time or another, there are others who turn stupidity into a lifetime career.

Aside note to SIR Paul; it has been suggested, all the good Beatles songs were written by John Lennon while those written by Paul were only “album filler”. Could you comment if that rumour might indeed be true? Just askin’.

May the sun always shine on your parade!

Next Week; “Critical Advantage”

Tandra...more than escapist fantasy, it’s a revolution!
