The Square Wheel

Imagine, if you will, the charismatic man who has never invented anything, never sold anything tangible, but claims to have come up with the perfect wheel.

The square wheel.

Yeah, I know...nothing wrong with the shape of a wheel as we know it. The tire on the wheel wears over time, but it can be replaced, even recycled. One can purchase recycled tires, even, but they remain circular. If properly aired up and balanced, a tire will serve well, especially if kept in sets or at least pairs. I remember enough from my days working at a genuine service station to know that much, and I wouldn't think much has changed in that regard. With that established...

Here's this man who announces that he's invented 'the square wheel'. It will work better than the round wheel, and it will increase your fuel economy-indeed, it will cost you far less than the round wheel we all use now, and it'll even help save the environment by reducing CO2 emissions.

But he can't explain his design; he doesn't have one of his own. It will be up to others to design it and bring it to market.

He certainly can't explain how 'his' square wheel could defy physics and be better than a round one.

But he stakes his reputation on it; if it flops like an Edsel (wish I owned one now!) he goes down in flames, end of story, in just a few years.

However, he has politically powerful allies who have skin in the game and don't want that to happen, and they're inventing his square wheel for him. There are different factions among those allies and hence different versions of the design, but there is a lot of skepticism out in the local populace. A lot. What to do, then?

Ignore the public skepticism and get the government to FORCE them to buy their square tires by decree-buy them and get rid of those stupid round tires or face fines and/or imprisonment!

Huh? Are you high?! Have you forgotten who you work for, you jerks?

They have.

Long ago.

New Deal

Fair Deal

Raw Deal

If the Little Creep aka President Barack Hussein Obama (MMM-MMM-MMM!) gets his way, get ready for the square WHEEL.

I for one have had it with the wheeling and dealing.

It comes down to this health care thing, whatever the hell it is-if it goes down, the Little Creep is definitely toast; he's already lost Congress, I think, whether it goes down or not. He will care ONLY if it goes down.

Thank you for your service.

Square wheel from a real blockhead with no more business being president than he would have designing nuclear reactors or even improving neighborhoods in Chicago.

About the only thing he knows about wheels is how to grease them with other peoples money- a talent shared by any common crook and most politicians.

Thanks to all.

We must remain ever vigilant...the forces of tyranny don't take breaks, days off, vacations-they are relentless.

(Every day is a 'sick day' with them!)

Even as we celebrate our holidays, religion-inspired or otherwise, we can't take our eye off the ball.

Okay, they DO have a holiday; it's their equivalent of Christmas-MAYDAY.

We must never let our guard down-PERIOD.

libertyforusa: It was a privilege. But I appreciate the sentiment.
