We are family

Let’s face it, black or white, man or woman, rich or poor, smart or stupid as a nail, Sly said it best. “We are family.” We are.

We may bicker and snipe and complain and groan, but Will Rogers said it best, “I don’t belong to any organized political party. I’m a Democrat.” Despite the angry rhetoric, the media frenzy, and a few tears, we are united and have one thing in common– keep the Republicans out of the White House in 2008.

Is that too much to ask of from a kind and benevolent God, wherever she may be?

I can’t say enough about my fellow Democratic presidential candidates. Good or bad. But especially bad. Look how far we’ve come in just the past couple of weeks. We threw some mud, we apologized, we cleaned up, we moved on.

Speaking of moving on, that whole Yucca Mountain issue could come back to bite me. Nuclear waste has to go someplace. I keep saying, ‘it won’t hide itself, people!‘ What better place than the utter desolation of some radioactive dump in Nevada. It’s not like there’s anybody important that lives near the place.

When Dick Cheney leaves government and moves back to Wyoming, maybe we could dispose of nuclear waste out there. It’s just like Yucca Mountain, too. Where’s the harm? Nobody goes there. I say Wyoming is a good place for nuclear waste although I’m really against nuclear power as a fossil fuel alternative anyway. Unless there’s no other alternative. And there doesn’t appear to be one.

What I’d like to know is, how can we handle nuclear waste with millions of nuclear power cars and trucks on the highways? Doesn’t anyone ever watch the Jetsons?
