the real issues, Ayers & Troopergate

Being has how it's friday and trash pick-up day I took the trash barrel out to the street this morning and found my neighbors doing the same. Everyone was just standing around in the street chatting when I joined the enclave only to discover that the conversation was politics and the issues that dominated were Ayers and Troopergate. I said something about being concerned about the economy but everyone said NO the real issues are Ayers and Troopergate because surely Bush would solve the economy problems by the end of the year and really only involved such trivia as keeping their homes, putting food on the table and surviving job losses, there's always soup kitchens, public housing and flipping burgers. Just then the trash truck came and everyone went back into their houses to get a warm-up on their coffee (I was having tea)
