THERAPY FOR THE 2012 ELECTIONS

Hope You Get Better Soon

By Victor M Adamus

“You’re not suffering from depression, Ms Waverly.  You’ve been watching too much TV.  Too much political news and it’s probably going to get worse, affect you more, raise your blood level.  What you do have is a bad case of Shit-tosis.  This occurs when you want to believe a politician can balance the budget even though you realize the current president has his hands tied by the U.S. Congress; a bad feeling when a candidate tells the world that if your boss is fondling you, quit and get another job; anxiety over the economy where Americans haven’t kept pace with the cost of living increases and the rich get richer and brag about it on TV news shows”. 

“Yes, Ms Waverly, you have a bad case of Shit-tosis,” said the Therapist.

“I’m going to schedule you for therapy once a week until we reach a point where you experience reality when watching the news . . . it’s call Laugh My Ass Off,” she said.

Don’t watch the news tonight, she continued, turn off all the TV’s in your home and read a good book, no internet, just do chores to take your mind off the Iowa Caucus votes.  Then when someone at the office tells who won the next morning, just laugh hysterically.  L.M.A.O!!!  Is the cure.

It might be difficult at first.  But you must realize that this 2012 election year is a clown show.  I know you’ll feel much better laughing at a candidate telling you that all Americans will pay $10 a year under her new tax plan, if elected.  Just Laugh Your Ass Off, Ms Waverly.  It’s as simple as that and it’s wonderful pulmonary exercise for you too.

So, remember, no gathering around the cooler with coworkers who believe in “a thousand points of lights” or that “shining city on a hill”.  That’s just nostalgia Ms Waverly.  In reality, people are taking to the streets.  And when you see this, just Laugh Your Ass Off, even if they’re stacked up in your driveway.

I’ll see you again next Wednesday.  Let’s hope you feel a little better by then.
