A New Toothbrush and New Politics
I bought a new tooth brush yesterday. It's one of those fancy spinning, bent, extra plastic, echo, vibration, cold fusion do-funnies. I looked at the damn thing last night before bed and decided that my old toothbrush still works fine, so I brushed my teeth with the old beat up model and went to bed. This morning, after my shower coffee and cereal, I went to brush my teeth only to discover that my beautiful wife had thrown away the old toothbrush leaving me with little choice but to brave the new monstrosity. I applied some of my Mentodent to the bristles and turned it on. It hummed quietly and didn't at all seem menacing in any way. It was only after I put it into my mouth I realised that I had been duped. This sumbitchin thing tore my mouth up. It was akin to taking a sandblaster the mount Rushmore. Bits and pieces went flying away that I thought were a natural extension of my canines. I need at this point to tell you that I take good care of my teeth, I have never had a cavity, never had braces, never had my wisdom teeth out and never had any real problems of any sort, other than those of a normal rowdy member of the "Too Much Fun Club," but this was ridiculous. My teeth have been hurting all day. I understand that they are clean, and it's the type of clean you get from the dentist which they tell you is necessary, but you don't really like it much.
Needless to say, this put me in a foul mood, which leads to the second part of today's rant.
While driving to work, all kinds of pissed, I heard many, many radio commercials for politicians and their various bills and proposals. I came to the conclusion that there are just too goddamned many laws. I am a registered voter, and I vote regularly, so what I am about to say may have an impact. I am going to vote no on election day. That's it. No matter what the bill, no matter what the proposal, I am going to vote no. Everybody wants something else to happen, there are too many sacrificial lambs out there and I am just a desperado under the eaves (thank you Warren Zevon, you will be missed), but I think that this mess has gone far enough. Every one, stand up for your personal freedoms, use your right to vote, vote no and tell those bastard politicians that we have had enough.
Vote No.
