I’m bored! I know, let’s play “Putting lip stick on a pig!”
Drifters, “Up on the roof”
“When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof,” playing Lipstick on a pig.
Of the many theories why the lipstick game is so appealing at this time, my opinion is due to stress. Stress can make you un-characteristically say and do a lot of things out of sheer desperation to relieve the melancholy. With our internal and external 900 lb. Gorillas, white and pink elephants popping up everywhere we look, the cognitive mind rejects ignoring the obvious and goes into protective mode. The struggle is between seeking solutions, discussing the issues or continued denials and if continued denials is pursued, the situation breaks down into shoulder shrugging and jokes.
Although the denials of the issues remain, the inabilities to effectively solve them emerge full stage front and center in the character of Incompetence competing on stage for attention along with the 900 lb. Gorilla, the white and pink elephants. What a show and they even have noon-time matinées along with evening performances as we have witnessed these past few days. Since at least ninety percent of the world population consists of people of color, the days of this brand of racism are numbered and count down is already well underway.
I say with no shame if the National Enquirer continues with its un-bias reporting regarding this presidential election, America has a better than average chance of surviving these elections with some dignity. The National Enquirer’s brand of reporting is patriotism not associated with monetary benefits but rather love of country and many of us should take heed of their positive contributions. Our very own little Dutch boy putting his finger in the leaking dam, if you will.
A few elections ago this may not have been so dire but with communications as sophisticated as they are today and the past eight years with the Bush administration having lowered the bar for the definition of a country and more especially, a country considered the leader of the free world, we have a dilemma on our hands. America has always played their “Ha-ha, isn’t this fun” games with people and the present game of Lipstick on a pig is just one of many more to come. The world watches, shaking its head wondering why it put up with the immaturities of an established country so long.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
