About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

This Is Better Than Watching Sports On TV



Are you ready for the Iowa Caucuses? 
Well, 
we are finally here. 
A chance to get out our number two pencils 
and mark the ballot of who should win the Presidential primaries!  
Then we get that little oval shaped sticker which reads
"I Voted." 

Won't that be nice?
We are going to start today, 
as a Nation, 
picking who will be the 
and 
nominations for 
President of the United States. 
First it's 
Iowa
on February 9th
its 
and then we get into the mess where States force you to register as a Democrat 
or Republican before you can vote. 
Iowa does this too, 
but they hold the Caucasus on the same night for both parties. 
In other States, 
like on February 20th in 
Democrats get to vote for their choice as who they feel should be their candidate 
and three days later the Republicans get their chance to vote on who should be theirs. 
If you think that is foolish, 
by not letting people vote for whomever they feel is the best candidate from any party on the same day,  
on March 1st
get to vote for their candidate while the 
have to wait until March 26th for their chance. 
And the Government wonders why people think voting is waste of time. 
I know you Trump fans love this news which came out last night right before the 
Iowa Caucuses; 
“Donald Trump has the highest unfavorable rating since Gallup began tracking the indicator for nominated candidates from either political party during the 1992 elections. Just two days before the Iowa caucuses, 60 percent of Americans surveyed view Trump unfavorably, versus 33 percent who see him favorably.” By Todd Beamon for Newsmax. 
We can only hope.


This is,

Jim Hauenstein,



And,

 “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” - Winston Churchill -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
