Jay and Ozzy Hit The Road

Sir Morrison, Ozzy and I are back on the road. I love the reflection time I have as the miles go by...the sounds of Sir Morrison's engine, tires and the inside of my head. I have been debriefing my week in Plymouth and specifically the voting and aftermath. I want to briefly rage against the machine as no amount of my raging, our raging, e-mails or signing petitions will change the workings of the machine.

I have come up with an image for a political cartoon: Lucy has a tag on her that reads DNC (Democratic National Committee) she is holding a football that is tagged, delegates and Charlie Brown has a tag, Bernie Sanders supporters.

I drove 1,000 miles from Virginia to vote for Bernie. As I expressed in an earlier blog, I had misgivings as to the value of my vote, but decided that I needed to vote for Bernie and maybe make a difference. So, Bernie gets 60% of the vote, Hillary 38%, but, because of "superdelegates" she gets the majority of delegate representation. Superdelegates?! Superbullshit!! As I suspected deep down inside, my vote means nothing! The fix is in, the game is rigged! And, I don't ever want to play in the game again. Unless Bernie is the nominee, I will never, ever, ever vote again...this Charlie Brown will not have the football pulled away from him one more time. I don't care which perverse Republican runs against Hillary...I will not vote for her. Shame, shame, shame!! The machine is tone deaf and and the oilers of the gears just don't get it.

Sir Morrison, Ozzy and I are in Massachusetts thinking about spending some time in Connecticut tonight. We will update on Sunday...

I posted the above a couple of days ago...since then then there has been more skullduggery in an attempt to fix the election. The DNC has decided to allow unlimited PAC and corporation money to be contributed to the committee, which, oh wow, supports Hillary again. (The rule against this was instituted by Obama in an attempt to "change the way Washington works.") They really don't get it...they are at every turn subverting the will of the electorate and the more they do that the more the people are going to be turned off to the same old party system. The real kicker here is that the DNC is backing the wrong horse. It will be Bernie or a republican in the white house regardless of the amount of money and establishment support that Hillary gets.

Ozzy, Sir Morrison and I are in Purcellville, VA. Sir Morrison appears to be having some brake problems and I have found what looks like a reputable garage, Hogan & Sons, which says that they will be able to get me in and possibly out, today, Saturday. Fingers crossed. The Knight, Sir Morrison, got 24 mph yesterday!!
Cold here, but not too cold. Very windy and it is hard to find a place that doesn't have some kind of weather advisory; wind chill, heavy winds, flooding, mixed precipitation. There are a bunch of shops, including Harris Teeter supermarket and starbucks, within walking distance of the garage so Ozzy and I will have a place to be occupied while brake work is being done.

Then? Don't know, but, rest assured I will keep you advised...
