Political Futility -
November 16th, 2011
Discussing politics with good friends while drinking is like wearing a wool coat to the movies. In the beginning it seems like no big deal, but soon it gets uncomfortable and heated and you end up spending the rest of the evening profusely apologizing to your buddy’s wife for calling her a cupid stunt.
The upcoming presidential election in 2012 holds about as much promise as a Tony’s frozen pizza at a slumber party. Barack is a bust, and choosing a candidate from the current GOP field is like deciding which cast member of "The Jersey Shore" to award the Nobel Prize to.
Depressing? Indeed. Enough to make you want a stiff drink? You bet. Wanna enjoy that drink? Avoid a lengthy discourse on politics when you belly up to the bar.

Current Congressional job approval rating per the most recent Gallup poll. So far this year the Congressional approval has averaged 17%. If that sticks, it will be the lowest annual congressional job approval rating in Gallup records dating to 1974. In happier news, Lindsay Lohan will not be baring her teeth in her upcoming Playboy pictorial. |
What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.

We couldn’t find out which Edward Langley said this. Either he was the 1st Duke of York, an artist or a pool pump repairman from Tulsa.

nugatory [noo-guh-tawr-ee]

adj. of no real effect, pointless.
Used incorrectly in a sentence by a candy bar aficionado: “I find the Three Musketeers to be far too nugatory.”
Woodrow Wilson became the first president to attend the World Series. The year was 1915 and it was the first public appearance of the President and his fiancé, Edith Gault. He insisted on paying for his own tickets. Yeah, we know, random. But save it, it may get you out of a jam someday.
Our Dream Candidate
| Put himself through community college by pro-wrestling on the weekends. |
| Only drinks tequila: Once a week, neat, in the oval office, with only his dog present. |
| Hates golf, avid skateboarder, can dunk and bakes a mean pot brownie. |
| Insists on driving himself wherever he goes in a 1987 Trans-Am w/tee-tops. |
| Opens every speech with a hysterically offensive joke, then says, “Just kiddin’.” |

Do we here at TTP pretend to have all the answers to fix the nation’s ills? Of course not. There are far more intelligent people who are capable of leading this country, sadly they’re not running for office, they’re just reading TTP. Did someone say wooden sunglasses? |
