Elections Come and Elections Go … Meanwhile Hope Springs Eternal
By J. Lee Austin, MD
What an interesting time to be alive. Who could have ever guessed that a hair-sniffing, puppet-headed, lame duck figurehead would stoop below previously historic lows long enough to label the folks of the orange opposition as nothing but “garbage” … what a truly tart treat from the grifting chief trickster! Or who could have guessed that the “great enemy of democracy” would thence hop post-haste into an actual garbage truck and proceed to ride around for some admittedly clever photo ops, ostensibly hauling figurative waste from an earlier grandstanding gig at Mickey D’s. There’s some delicious irony in here somewhere, I can almost smell it.

Nice to see him in a hard hat, though, effectively covering that windswept wave thingy, whatever that is. Full disclosure, I have zero standing in the matter, myself sporting a shiny, cue-ball style non-hairdo, resulting from the relentless ravages of male pattern baldness. Or alopecia, if you’re in the billing office.

Come to think of it, most guys look better in a hard hat. It’s just manly. Kinda like a coon-skin cap. Of course those quirky animal caps of yesteryear now come with significant negative philosophical trappings. Wonder if skunk-skin caps have any potential as manly headwear. May have a stigma too stinky for prime time, but in these wackiest of days, ya never know.

As we approach the grand finale of the seemingly endless election from hell, featuring utterly unwatchable performances by the bizarre and epically unethical, I remind myself that the finer things in life will hopefully still be here when the dust settles, even if the wheels come off in the urbans … if unfortunate leftist sinkholes of depravity like Chicago/Seattle/Frisco mindlessly immolate themselves yet again into even further depths of scripted frustration and futility. Here’s to hoping for cooler heads to prevail and bring the calm in those troubled places.

It really is the best time of year, notwithstanding that whole garbage kerfuffle. It’s actually a fine time to smile bigly at one another and strive to help each other more than ever … just an opportune moment in history for Unlimited Love and Kindness, the true essence of The Good Help Network …

Our mission is to assist others in their endeavors, particularly those who help themselves and patriots who share our love of freedom and country. We will not help those who would take our freedom but will instead oppose them will all due vigor. Through loving co-operation, hard work and good clean fun, our ultimate goal is the safety and betterment of our fellow man and indeed ourselves.

Best of luck to all,
