Bernie

Man, Bernie has some rabid fans.

In fact, some of it seems a little cult-like.

I have always looked at Bernie a little skewed. It’s not that I find his ideas so radical. I know enough about his agenda to believe that he’s not gunning for total socialism but that he kinda’ wants to see things evened up a little.

He’s not much interested in the rich getting richer at the expense of everyone else.

Honestly, that’s an honorable goal.

I have always been interested in what he’s saying whenever I’ve heard him speak.

(He does remind me of Larry David though).

What I honestly have trouble with...

...and it’s a problem I have with more than a few candidates...

...he’s 78 years old!

His goal for the day should be a long nap after a big lunch.

(I think that’s going on now, but the chefs are playing ‘Hide the vegetables’ in the mashed potatoes).

I’m old enough to recall Reagan’s second term...

...it was like ‘Weekend at Bernie’s - no pun intended).

My Dad built huge hotels all across the country.

In his 70’s he would call all of his kids to see if we knew how to turn on his VCR.

Now, I’m not saying that people in their 70’s and 80’s can’t be active. We golfed with a guy who was in his 90’s last summer and he might have beat us.

But the number one spot as leader of the free world?

Haven’t we had enough of what’s going on now?

Watch a speech or a rally...

...something is going on...

...there’s slurring of words, made-up stories and complete confusion.

Bernie at 82 at the end of the term?

That seems a little crazy to me.

Am I wrong for saying that?

Maybe.

But I’m thinking it.
