Politics: A Bounce House

KingCastleBounceHousePolitics are like a children's bounce house.

Everyone inside appears to be having fun, but upon further inspection we realize that this is precisely because they are children.

Pandemonium is somehow the source of the entertainment.  Without it, the inhabitants would lose interest and exit. 

Anyone with any sense would not seek to enter it in order to improve it, but would instead busy himself with the finding of a sharp object. For only in its deflation can a bounce house be reduced to its core liners and exposed as the bag of hot air that it is.  Only by being deflated will the noise and fights emanating from within cease.

Of course, this would be a cruel course of action to follow if the house were filled with happy children. Not so for blood-sucking politicians. In this latter case it would be downright merciful. I can almost imagine one of them looking out from its deflating crush to whisper, "finally."

    Brilliant. This begs the question….Do we attempt to enter the bounce house disguised as a child and deflate it ourselves, or do we stand on the outside and throw spears?

    I’m laughing at your humorous viewpoint; though there’s not much to laugh at with the reality of our current political climate. Yikes. What kind of sharp object will end up deflating the bounce house?

    Chris, shucks, thanks for being my team leader and believing in me and showing me how I can get my own bounce-house Where I can go with real kids and real adults and just have a fun time.
    A bounce house could be a Corvette.
    A bounce house could be CruiseShip travel. A bounce house is your dream, my dream.
    That’s what a bounce-house is to me. Irrespective of what the 635 people do, we can have a bounce house, so get one and start bouncing and get some passion like Chris.
    On Thursdays I go to the massage therapist bounce house. Every Week and it’s wonderful. I have lost all my toxins. I encourage everyone to get 5 full body massages in a row, you wont believe how good you can feel.

    Don’t forget that the politicians would have taxpayers underneath the bounce house while they are jumping around figuring who they can give our money to!
