When everything goes to hell, you hold the people who were in charge accountable.

You fire them! Isn't that what an employer would do to you if you were responsible for oversight of company funds and they were stolen, embezzled, or 'misdirected?'

And if you were in charge of getting your company the best energy prices possible, yet the cost of energy during your tenure went up sixty percent, how long do you think you would have your job?

And if your employees watched the company downsize, get shipped overseas, and there jobs go along with it, while their real estate prices eroded because there was no longer any employment in town, would you be expecting a banquet in your honor, and a pat on the back saying 'hope things are better next year?'

For the first time in many elections the issues are as clear as 'Guns or Butter,' and if you can digest lead, more power to you... but if you don't want to see bread lines, apples and pencils being sold for a nickle on street corners because there's no other jobs in town, get down to the polls. There's a joke out there that more dead people will be voting in this election than ever before, so its up to the live ones to make your vote count.

When you're getting your tail out of your home just in front of the repo man, ask yourself how things went in Iraq today, and then thank the men responsible for the headlines at the polls on November 4th, and may God have mercy on us all.
