Hey Ed, I went to the SeptemberFest in Hamilton and it has now become known as the “Political Bowl of Hamilton.” Instead of calling it SeptemberFest, just call it that. There was nothing but political people yapping away about how they can do anything for the people, when we all know they can’t do anything. Why can’t we all just have one day where there is not one political person walking around asking for their votes so that we can enjoy something? After all, they are everywhere now, parades, picnics, SeptemberFest. What is next? The Hamilton Christmas Tree lighting?

Politicked Off

Do you really expect to see a politician to pass up the opportunity to gladhand with all the people that show up to these events? Think, if it were really about just giving the citizens something enjoyable to do, wouldn’t you think they would be doing these things in May or June? Stop feeding into it. Have you noticed all the things that the politicians that are running for re-election are doing now that the silly season is upon us? How many more ribbon cuttings and dedications can we take?
