Political Theater

Politicians have 'writers' and they star in commercials and they are convinced that if they can raise the most money in order to run the most and best ads they have a chance of winning. The 'ads' don't inform anyone about the issues but simply try to contrast other ads or 'actor/politicans' most recent commercial...Even the Political satirist/comedian Jon Stewart is off the air because his writers are on strike and while he may actually be funny/smart enough to genuinely discourse about the subject matter he's not a candidate, just a comedian who is off the air because the 'men behind the curtain' are gone. It's Christmas eve and here I am writing on political absurdity...I guess my reflection on the promised one, the child who ushers in justice and mercy and a kingdom of righteousness is acute and while we know he will return to establish his kingdom it is the ridiculous comedy of reality that causes us to long for his returning.
