A Fishy View of the Presidential Race
There are many different ways to analyze the coming presidential race. We have currently used the fish method.
We added to our fish tank three goldfish, one velvety black energetic one which we named Obama, a shiny hopeful gold one, which we named McCain and a lovely white one with a red dot, perhaps stain, on her forehead, who we christened Hillary. Also a bottom feeder that blends in well and is hard to see, but with politics there is always a lot of dirt to collect. Since he cleans messes up well, we named him Rudy Giuliani.
At first they made merry with all the other fish. Rubbed against them and shared political dinners. Hillary quickly convinced a small school of tiger barbs that she was one of them. Grrrrrrrrrr she roared and shook her tail. I’ll admit the school is quite integrated with two of a blue varietal, two of a pink varietal and two of a slightly aggressive black and white striped with flaming tips on their fins. But integration is good. She has them convinced that she is merely a different varietal, and not a different species all together. After all, perhaps not all presidents need to be tiger barbs. They only need to seem to be tiger barbs.
McCain went to skulk about the base of the castle and Obama, quickly went to spy on the Bushes…of algae.
Shortly thereafter, I came down to find McCain had quit the race. Belly up on the top of the bowl. Politics- a tough life. Not everyone can make it.
Obama, shortly thereafter got an eyeful with the Bushes and ended up with a parasite in his eye. Hillary also bloomed a red flower on her side and looked ill. Could the Bushes be up to no good? The tank was fine before I allowed these politicians in. Obviously they brought the parasites with them..but don’t they always.
Alas, Obama succumbed to the evil parasite.
Soon, other tank mates, living happy and quiet congress began to join them. A large spotted scat, named spot, known for his banishment to “the angry tank” after his attempted assassination of two brother scats. They didn’t recover from his attentions so he returned to rule the docks and other unsavory areas of the tank. But now that evil element has perished. Another, a Boseman’s rainbow fish, a member of the green party, usually flaunting a quiet blue color, soon became covered with a small pox of ick. Was this bioterrorism? Hillary proposed new funding to prevent further attacks. I poured in a parasitic general cure.
Now left in the tank (aside from the fawning school of tiger barbs) are Rudy G. and Hillary.
Does this predict the final race?
Who knows…only time and primaries will tell
