Yahoos
"Yahoooo" – my first words after catching my first wave in St. Teresa, Costa Rica last week.
"Yahoo" – a person who is not very intelligent or interested in culture. One of the very nice things (and believe me there were many) about being in the remote jungles of Costa Rica is you are completely unplugged. Fortunately, I happen to be one of my most favorite people so the company didn't bother me at all. I don't know whether it was the brief respite or the much needed rest but I returned more sensitive to how dumb people really are. Surprisingly many of these intelligence challenged people somehow have achieved positions of power.
Let's start with Ann Romney, bride of the only political candidate to blow two presidential elections. While I was away she declared, despite her two Cadillacs and numerous tax havens she "doesn't consider herself wealthy". Well Ann, I saved for two years to take this trip. You travel in a private jet on a whim. They should make a reality show about the Romneys and call it "Unrealistic". Prior to Ann and Mitt the last two people I heard who were this far out of touch with reality were Mick and Keith backstage on the Bridges to Babylon tour. At least they were surrounded by a multitude of "booze, and pills, and powders."
Keeping with the Republican requirement of stupidity for membership how about Senator John McCain. He thinks we should invade Syria. After a 200 year undefeated run the US military is 0-4 in its last four: Vietnam, Iraq (04), Afghanistan, and Iraq (11). Trust me its not the brave, courageous soldiers fault. You see when you don't have a dog in the fight, a horse in the race, a team in the game your heart just isn't in it. We have absolutely no interest in Syria and as such should have no interest in Syria.
The winner this week was a literal yahoo, Israeli Prime Minister Netenyahu. He somehow has in his mind that he should attack Iran. That's fine for him. Unfortunately, he also has in his mind that the U S of A is going to bail his sandy ass out when things start going wrong. The turning point for Israel will be right after their first bomb lands and Iran points a nuclear weapon aimed for the West Bank. Iran has been "saber rattling" for decades. Nothing ever comes from it. Iran is like the guy at the bar that's all talk and no action. You grow tired of listening but you know words never killed anyone. Plus this whole Iran thing is just the latest excuse for the oil companies to rape and pillage record profits at the gas pump. Somehow Netenyahu actually thinks (mistakenly) the oil companies posturing has made him both relevant and important.
If Israel is the aggressor in Iran Israel will get what it deserves. Hopefully Vietnam through Iraq has taught us to fight our own battles. No reason we have to suffer (or any more soldiers have to die) for other yahoo's mistakes. After all we have enough yahoos of our own.
