My daddy used to say "he's just talkin' to hear his head rattle."

That's what some of it feels like to me these days. It's so easy to post an opinion that folks decide they need to BE an 'opinion giver' whether they have any credentials, expertise or even sense of the real issues.

   I remember some 'advice to budding authors' many years ago....it said to ask yourself: "Do I have something inside myself that must be said, or do I just 'want to have written a book'?"

Even on TV I see pundits changing their outlook and 'spin' over a period of years...the better to 'fit' into the prevailing set of discussions and thereby keep the attention of boss and audience.....and keep their job, of course.
   Why does the song "The Vicar of Bray" pop into my head?

In the meantime, these people have a position that really CAN affect the mood of the voters, depending on what they choose to emphasize.

It's really a shame....what they need to do is give ME the job.
