Yes, yes, I know the pundits are busy prattling on about the epic
battle of political ideas shaping up for November [AKA, Ayn Rand vs Karl
Marx]. Although the addition of political wonk Ryan to political vacuum
Romney seems to make this true, I've researched an entirely different
angle. OK, so my facts are a little fuzzy, but here it's the food not
the facts, mam...!
Anecdotal evidence tells us R&R drink
de-caf while B&B take their coffee straight. Pay attention, my
fellow right-to-vote fan, for this detail is not insignificant.
After
oil, coffee is the world's biggest trading product with billions of
pounds grown and shipped every year. It is the lingua franca of
universal communication. After age 14, 80% of the world's population
drinks some form of coffee. Said to be true of alpha males like
Napoleon, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Donald Trump and oh yes Charlie
Sheen.
These and other public figures drink their coffee
straight. If R&R don't, what does this tell the anxious voter?
Theories conflict. It could mean that R&R are too uptight to handle
the real stuff. Or it might tell us they are the thinking-man's addict
vs the intuitional-man's addict. Or it could simply mean when they get
that 3 AM phone call from the Pentagon, they'll be sleeping too soundly
to get up and pull the trigger!
A modest suggestion here.
Yes,
ignore the negative ads...listen to the speeches...read the
editorials...pay attention to the body language...and study the debates.
Then when you have to pull the lever, ask yourself what kind of coffee
you had that morning. Like a shining shaft of light, this will help
guide your heart and hand.
Sound too frivolous? Sorry to say that
an entire history of elections tells us -- this is about as good a way
to pick a winner as any...!
