You know, as I read all the comments left by my fellow countrymen (and women) on different web sites carrying videos, sound bites and reports of the presidential candidates, I can't help but notice the call for the real Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Hilary Clinton, Obama and others to "please stand up." Hey, when it comes to changing your mind on a topic, I AM THE KING! Those of you who know me, know that I am easily swayed by pretty talk, free gifts and food. As I was seeing the continuous request for someone to "stand up," I began to question who the real Manteca was. Was I standing up? Was it my Doppelganger that was standing in my place? To the best of my knowledge, it's just me. A normal American. A guy trying to find his place on the planet until my dance card is full and my name gets called so that I can leave the waiting room. As for judging who is really "standing up" around me...well, you know that is a task best left to those who are more worldly, intelligent, book learned, socially decisive, religiously ambiguous, sexually ambivalent and, by their own definition, smarter than me. You know the people...
So, why did I post this? I posted this to let you know, I don't know. If the real Mike Huckabee is reeling me in like a tent preacher bringing rain to the dust bowl during the great depression, then so be it. He makes me feel good. I am finally beginning to get that feeling that I don't have to worry about all this. I just want to live, love and laugh. Let a man that I trust make those big decisions. I need the 1950's right now. You know...one enemy, the Russians. Everything else is a Cary Grant movie!
Then again, I will probably change my mind again tomorrow...
