“U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning says he'll oppose any measure that exempts the riverboat Delta Queen from fire safety regulations because that would leave passengers exposed to danger...” - Courtesy: Cincinnati.com
Claiming a healthy aversion to fire, Bunning has now aligned himself firmly against our cause. At first glance he may seem a vile enemy. But there is a simplistic cause behind the action of every politician. And I have a feeling it’s not just his senility in this case.
Money? No. The only heavily vested interests in this fight would be pro-Queen.
Votes? Definitely not. His constituency and other independent voters skew heavily in favor of the boat.
Pride? Quite the opposite, these words border on public shame.
A place in History? Perhaps alongside famous proponents of National Socialism in the 1930s…
Fear? Ahh, now we may be onto something, Jethro. Fear of an enemy more powerful than any organized military force or political party. Fear rather of the Unknown.
It now appears obvious to me, those in the Know, the online “comment” posting community, and the Smart Money that a gigantic catfish is in the ear of our boy Bunning. The only thing that could move a man so set in his ways to these humiliating depths of treachery is the threat of a death more terrible than any public execution, a fate more horrifying than a thousand guillotines, a sight more ghastly than an army of ghouls, an eternity no less… spent in the vast belly of a mythical seamonster. Let us now in this dark hour only hope that the beast not present itself all-too-real to many more weak-minded politicians. Each vote for the Queen, a vote for freedom, a vote for tradition, a vote, yes, for mankind… may cause another brave defender of liberty to be consumed. But still we must let our voice be heard.
