Pity the Powerless Politicians

A huge hurricane hit the state of Florida yesterday and destroyed many of the homes, businesses, roads, bridges and lives in its path. Rather than accept the fact that God made the hurricane -- the same God that made you and me and the trees and the oceans and everything else -- and all we can do is hide from it, prepare for it and pray during it, the hungry media has leapt on it as fodder for scoring political points. According to all the left-wing pundits and news outlets, Florida's Governor DeSantis obviously did not do enough to stop the devastation. As if he could!

And really, they say, the very existence of such a strong hurricane can be attributed to those Republicans, called "climate-deniers," who don't buy into the belief that Man is making the Earth uninhabitable by driving gas-powered vehicles or not recycling plastic bottles and who-knows-what else. Minnesota's Sen. Amy Klobuchar went on TV to say as much, warning Americans to vote Democratic in the coming mid-term elections so we won't have any more destructive hurricanes. (Poor Amy, she had such promise.)

Americans always want someone to blame, and it usually comes down to the nearest politician they elected to take care of things. What things? Just about everything, it seems, even though every politician I've ever seen is nothing more than a regulation human being totally lacking any superpowers. Some, like our current president, lack even the basic ability to take care of themselves, forget taking care of all 332, 403, 650 million of us.
