Crazy ants and Bed bugs

[Peacetrain]

Been gone to a family event for a few days.. and came away from that feeling very much like everything has gone crazy ants and bedbugs..

(I will leave it to the reader to research crazy ants.. and we all should know about the bed bug infestations by now)

But sitting and listening to family members talk, debate, argue.. political positions from the far right to the the far left.. it was crazy.. and I mean that literally.. crazy.. no one listens to anyone anymore.

People are so stewed in their positions.. that by the end of an hour listening to one side try and convince the other.. I have come to the conclusion.. peoples thought processes have been taken over by crazy ants and bedbugs.

Is it the internet or media of all stripes that has so solidified us in our little spheres that we have become brittle..

Damned if I know.. but one thing is for sure.. Politics and family DO NOT MIX

Oh by the way.. I read it took four months to sell out the tickets that for the Ted Cruz event that happened in Iowa last week.. . the tea party is getting on everyone's nerves.. love it.. just love it

1. re Iowa: I saw a report that Palin had 1000 for the same event; Cruz had 600

He spoke for about 45 minutes, and the more he talked the more interest waned.

3. Yep.. his following is rabid.. but small

I read that in our local paper.. never ever have they (the republicans) such a hard time filling seats.. that says a lot doesn't it..
