January 3rd and my blogging is essentially brain dead. Not a post ready to pop out of my keyboard. This in spite of the wild Iowa cacous - hell I can't even spell it - it's caucus. I'll be going to bed not knowing anything more about the winner than I did this morning. I do know who the loser will be - me! No matter who goes on to win the GOP nomination for president, I'll be shaking in my boots over the possibility that some pseudo evangelist may actually lead this country to hell.
Not even the mess in the Mideast has gotten a rise out of me so far. No sooner than we end a war in Iraq, the know it alls have us going to war with Iran. Its getting so the only way we can provide jobs is to beat the drums of war. Why someone even predicted that election 2012 will be an all out war! At the rate we are going we'll make the Prussians look like pikers. By the way what exactly is a piker? When I'm through rambling I'll run it through Google. When will war become something to be feared?
As I type this out I'm listening to oldies on the radio. Right now some one is belting out, " some enchanted evening you may meet a stranger". Is that an omen? Did Huntsman win Iowa?
Usually about this time I start yearning for the start of baseball Spring training. I still do, except it will be with a little suspicion. Just finished reading "Moneyball" by Michael Lewis. Great reading - it lays bare many of the ills in the sport. As a result I'll be looking at what goes on this year with a jaundiced eye. That really should not be a problem since most everything else these days warrants a jaundiced eye. I did make an appointment with my opthamologist for later this month. Maybe he'll have a solution for all of the ills that are bothering me . Rose colored glasses?
( Just for the record my opthamologist isn't Rand Paul).
( Again for the record a piker is one who gambles or speculates with small amounts of money. 2. : one who does things in a small way; also : tightwad, cheapskate. No way that a Prussian would ever fit that bill.)
ed note: This post has enough cliches to qualify for the "Fun With Cliches" blog.

Wonderful little blog. I got lots of good, hearty chuckles out of it. Thanks.
You know how the NFL urges us... "are you ready for some football?"... well the politicians use the same jargon when it comes to war.
Get ready! There's another U.S. war coming to a theatre somewhere in the world very soon.
