But ... something peculiar struck me the other day.
I was watching a political program on TV where they interviewed different candidates from varying parties and opinions and something struck me which I had never seen so clearly before. Must be the whisky. It makes me see things in a totally different light.
I suddenly realised that, honest and well-intentioned as they may well be, all politicians genuinely want to help their fellow man. One wanted to cut taxes for hard working families so that people can keep more of the money they had earned. Another wanted to create opportunities for hard working people looking for jobs. A third wanted to help hard working students achieve their potential and go on to successful careers. And yet another politician wanted to help those hard working savers get a better return on their investments.
As I said ... something suddenly struck me. I had read various political journals and leaflets we get through the post. I had seen TV and heard the radio. But it never became so clear as in that TV program and a third glass of whisky.
Not one politician wants to do anything to help the lazy so and so, like me, who likes to sit at home watching TV and eating pizza.
They all want to help the hard working men and women of this country.
No one cares for lazy ******** like me.
That is discriminatory, I think.
In these days of equality for everyone, surely lazy people should be afforded the same help, care and attention as everyone else.
Being lazy is part of my nature. It is what makes me ... me. My hobby is sitting down. Why should I be discriminated against?
I shall start a new political party. It will be known as The Lazy Party.
Will you join me ... some day? Right now I can't be bothered.
Victor, you may have something here. I will think on it....later.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Kathy. One potential recruit ... some day.
DeleteGod bless.
Keep us posted. I am with you!
ReplyDeleteI will keep you posted. Perhaps. Maybe. If I am sober enough.
DeleteGod bless you, Terri.
Hard working is code for less wealthy. Some do not actually work at all.
ReplyDeleteI also wonder if there is any work that is not hard, if there is, I should have majored in "Easy Work" in college.
DeleteGood point, JoeH. There are a lot of really hard-working people I know in the UK who earn very little.
DeleteGod bless you.
Someone has to be the lazy couch potato...why not you!
ReplyDeleteIf you start feeling guilty about it, just have another Whiskey and take a nice long nap.
When you awaken you will know that you have done your job well :)
God Bless You Always~
I do often fall asleep on the couch. Nothing on the TV but static dust. My concern is that no politician cares for lazy people like me.
DeleteGod bless, Jan.
:) You have a point. Several, actually. "Lazy party" might be okay for a working title, but strategists might want something - - - different. :)
ReplyDeleteAHA ... I have a cunning plan, Brian. The strategy is that we have no policies as a Party. No election campaigns. No candidates or advertising. And see who would vote for us.
DeleteGod bless.
LOL! Lazy Party, here we come!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Victor!
Welcome, new member. Let's stay at home and watch TV with pizza.
DeleteGod bless, Martha.
As the Lazy Party leader, you could lead the charge and wave the new flag. It can have a person lying on a couch being lazy. Lazy is crazy but someone has to do it. :)
ReplyDeleteI am designing the flag as we speak. It will show a man sitting on a couch eating a pizza. Do you realise, Bill, if everyone in the world was lazy we would have perfect peace.
DeleteGod bless you.
I'd certainly go for that! Vote early, vote often!
ReplyDeleteVoting would only take place during the advert breaks on TV. Voting would be on empty boxes of pizzas delivered to your house. Boxes would be collected by the people delivering more pizzas. The more pizzas you order the more chances for you to vote.
DeleteGod bless you, Mevely.
