I’ve Figured Out the Popularity of Fantasy
Fantasy is big right now, from the Harry Potter series to Lonewolf Diaries and Vampire Lovers and Glee and whatever fantasy shows are big on TV these days.
I think it’s all because we live in a fantasy world.
Just look at Congress.
They just agreed to make a bunch of cuts in the budget.
You know what? They have unspent money left over from the census. Since it hasn’t been spent, they are counting that amongst the so-called “cuts” they made.
Seriously.
There were other Federal monies that went unspent for various projects. They “cut” those too.
Obama had some “czars” that have been gone. Those are counted among the “cuts.”
Better watch out. Because, with that type of mentality, if you have twenty bucks in your pocket, they’ll count that as extra income because you haven’t spent it yet. So, you know, they can tax you (again) on your earnings.
In other words, you’ll get taxed when you get your paycheck, and then you’ll be taxed again if you have any unspent money left over.
Of course, these days, not so many people have money left over, so that might not be a big deal.
Oh, so they made all these so-called “cuts” and there are still those who want to raise taxes.
You know, probably because we’re all awash in unspent money.
Oh, and they want to raise the debt ceiling so they can spend more money and accumulate more debt.
So, yeah, that explains the popularity of fantasy, because if you think you can spend your way out of debt, you’re living in a fantasy world.
Maybe we need to reduce Senate terms to 3 years instead of six and limit them to two terms. That way, some of these clowns won’t spend their lifetimes in office and lose complete touch with the people they are supposed to represent as well as reality in general.
At any rate, it’s no wonder people aren’t watching the evening news on TV as much anymore.
They’d rather be reading Harry Potter.
