A little essay where I stop complaining about politics and announce a real solution. The key of course is to identify the real issues.
Meat Pie Politics
----------------------
My cat is sitting happily in one of the many boxes I leave sitting around for her. Cats love boxes and rectangles for some reason. It was too dark for a picture and I didn't want to disturb her, yet for some reason my thoughts moved to politics.
Everyone seems obsessed with politics these days but the USA rivals Italy for constant revisions of the national outlook. With no false modesty, I'll state clearly that not only have I identified the problem but ladies and gentlemen, I have found the solution.
Having lived overseas I was able to identify what was holding this country back, why we had never really achieved gastronomic greatness...it was the lack of a decent meat pie.
Candy bars, chewing gum, hot dogs...please, it's no wonder we are mocked by the serious eaters of this world. Daggone it there are folks who want a snack that matters!
Yet even now, as I resist the temptation to reach into those tantalizing areas of my icebox where redemption awaits; I can know, I can believe again, that we will rise above mediocrity; that we have achieved greatness at last.
Who cares about that silly political nonsense! It's time to cut to the chase and dare I say it, to eat! In the freezer section of Publix in Atlanta, one can find both Jamaican and Australian meat pies!
It's our time! lift up you hands, my fellow Americans; stand up and cheer! All we ever really needed was a decent meat pie.
cheers
