Well, folks, it's that time of year again - election season. That magical time, when grown men and women turn into squabblin' toddlers, and every other sentence starts with "Well, my candidate would never..."
Now, I'm not much of a political animal myself. I prefer to spend my time thinkin' about more important things, like whether a hot dog is a sandwich or not. But I gotta say, this year's election has been somethin' else.
It seems like every day, there's a new scandal or a new controversy. One candidate says somethin' stupid, and the other one tries to out-stupid 'em. And meanwhile, the rest of us are just sittin' here wonderin' how we ended up with these two clowns runnin' for office.
But you know what they say, there's always a silver lining. And in this case, the silver lining is the political ads. Now, I don't know about y'all, but I love me a good political ad., Especially the ones that are so over-the-top, you'd think they were written by a 12-year-old.
There's one in particular that I've been seein' a lot lately, and it goes a little somethin' like this: "My opponent wants to take away your guns, your freedom, and your apple pie. He's in cahoots with the Russians, the Chinese, and the aliens from Area 51. And if you vote for him, you might as well kiss your grandma goodbye."
I mean, come on. You can't make this stuff up. It's like they're tryin' to out-crazy each other.
But you know what really gets me? The fact that these politicians think we're all a bunch of idiots. Like we're just gonna believe whatever they say, no matter how ridiculous it is.
Well, I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I ain't no fool, neither. I know that politics is just a big ol' game, and we're all just pawns in it. So I say, let's sit back, grab a cold one, and watch the show. 'Cause at the end of the day, we'll all still be here, tryin' to make the best of what we've got.
And if all else fails, we can always write in Dolly Parton. I mean, who wouldn't want her runnin' the country?
