Cheeeeeers Chuckleheads and a Happy Weekend Eve Eve to one and all, especially to you Federal worker types whose weekend started this past Monday when you were furloughed.
It’s a sad state of affairs when y’all are sitting idle and without pay while all 535 members of the United States Congress are collecting their paychecks while making a mockery of statesmanship, common sense, and what it means to think beyond their next election.
But, and I hate to say this to any and all Americans who are reading this…
We are a representative democracy and we elected these people. So…um, well…we have the government, or the lack thereof, that we deserve, and that is why government workers can’t go to the grocery for awhile.
However my friends, I do not pen upon this sacred IWS Radio page today to merely cast aspersions upon America and her people. Nooooooo…You see?
Unlike the United States Congress, I am here to identify the problem with the state of our once great nation, and offer a solution.
So…To wit, heretofore, and with a hearty, here’s ya goes…Allow me to identify the problem, and offer my solution.
America is a great nation and with amber waves of great people but to be perfectly honest, Americans are also a populous stricken with a collective case of Anti-Attention Deficit Disorder. It’s true.
Americans are all about instant gratification, a solid trusting in a monolithic set of “facts”, and a comfortable life within a bubble that contains a backyard grill, an ice cold Bud, and being left alone during football season.
A vast amount of Americans, want to pay attention to one thing, and one thing only…themselves. And my friends, that is why, to that point, Americans are so duly, and well-represented within the no longer hallowed halls of Congress, but...
All is not lost, and there is a way to end this current government shutdown, and restore American greatness.
Remember the halcyon days of America from post-World War II 1946 through December of 1991? I do…well some of it, but anyhoo…
There was a common thread of unity that ran red, white, and blue throughout every city, hamlet and burg of this great land. It was a unifying thread of hate so strong, that even in the midst of racial inequality, gender inequality, and wire tapping skills over equality that upon which Americans could agree.
Our hate of Communism, and more specifically for that Great Godless Vodka Drinking Nosferatu of Two Continents, the Soviet Union.
We HATED the Soviets.
The Soviets were wicked and if they had a chance, they would convert your children to Stalinism and then eat them. We had a space race. We had a nuclear weapons race. We had a miracle on ice that brought all Americans together.
We wanted to beat them and we did, but then?
When we won the Cold War on December 26, 1991 when the Soviet Union officially dissolved, sadly, our national bond was dissolved as well.
Sure the 1990’s were a post-Cold War honeymoon full of peace dividend rewards, but then on September 11, 2001...The honeymoon was over and the booming U.S. economy was torn down with it.
America was perplexed. You know why?
Many Americans can’t focus and agree or disagree with more than one thing at a time. To hear that we were and continue to be attacked by groups like Al-Qaida, the Taliban, Syrian, Iranian, Left-Wing, and Right-Wing terrorists makes no sense.
That’s why many Americans today, Americans who are either rather far-left or far-right, focus on fellow Americans with polar ideologies.
Far Left Loonies line-up and blitz Rush, Sean Hannity and Ted Cruz…Simple enough.
Far Right Tea Drinkers get into a huddle and hate on Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, and President Obama.
In order to fix the logjam of hate that is cast upon our own, buy our own, we should build a Mount Rushmore of Soviet leaders with the heads of Stalin, Brezhnev, and Andropov in stone, so we can cast potatoes at them, so we never forget.
And then we can ask of, and turn a blind eye to, Vladimir Puitn re-establishing the former Soviet Union, and, if that happens?
We will all be OUTRAGED, and Congress will say…
“Obamacare? Sure, why not…have all the fun you want with that. But in addition, we need to immediately pass a comprehensive budget, and I don’t care what’s in it, as long as it includes funding for nukes.”
Nearly all Americans would rejoice and say...
"To Hell with Moscow!! Fuck the Sputnik!! Let Them Eat Taters!! Mike Eruzione Lives!!"
Unity once again!! IKR!? I am freaking brilliant!!
That my friends, is both my break-down as to what is happening, and my solution, but…I have one last thing to add.
Vladimir Putin? America wants you on that wall. We need you on that wall…We want you to rebuild that wall!!
And so does Sylvester Stallone, because if you restored the Soviet Union, downloads and subsequent royalties of Rocky IV would go through the roof!!
здоровье!!

Jay: Ha...I really think that is part of the problem...Many Americans are so black and white in their thinking, the Cold War was easy to get through. Today's world is soooooo "confusing." Cheers!!
Matt
'...our national bond was dissolved as well.'
And starting new wars hasn't seemed to have helped reunite us.
Mike: Absolutely correct Mr. Mike. Cheers!!
