On a lighter note, this is the time of year for state and county fairs throughout the outback. These events are intended to keep us common folk in the hinterland amused while the adults in Washington struggle to solve all our problems.
But, wait! The adults in Washington are away on August recess, probably back on their home turf raising money and votes for the next election. Gives a whole new meaning to the term “playground bully,” no?
But I digress. Back to the subject of country fairs. Iowa is enjoying their own state fair this week. The organizers of this event are always struggling to come up with new competitions and activities for the amusement of the masses. While no official announcement has been made, I do believe the Iowa folks are testing something new this year. It has been reported that Sara Palin is going to show up. If they can also fetch in Michelle and Newt and Ron, they could have a good start for a new and amusing contest: The Scariest Politician of 2011.
Happy August Recess.
