Fishing with no Bait

"Fishing with no Bait"   Here in Georgia, we got quite an election going on, and of course all of us folks down here in Nankipooh are mighty excited, just like folks from all over the state.  The two big races are for Governor of Georgia and United States Senator, and there has been a lot of money pouring in from out of state by both the Republicans (Skunks) and the Democrats (Polecats).  I call them Skunks and Polecats since they both stink, and this just might be the most odorous election ever in the Peach State. The governor's race has come down to a choice between an old political hack who is now a Skunk, but was once a Polecat, and his opponent, a young whippersnapper who ain't never done nothing, and don't appear to know nothing, other than his granddaddy was once a President, whose record speaks for itself (Stinks).  In the senate race we got a choice between two folks who don't seem to stand for much, other than they are trying to paint their opponent as worse than a case of scarlet fever.  What makes it worse is that neither one has ever been elected to anything, but they both got famous political relatives.  It is like they are fishing with no bait!  The real important thing here is that the outcome in the senate race might determine who gets control of the United States Senate, either the Skunks or the Polecats.  As I said it don't make much difference to Old Bascomb since I think they both stink!  I'm kinda sorry that I ain't running for either of these offices, since it looks like Georgia is in a lot of trouble no matter what the outcome is.  On the bright side, Old Bascomb is running for President of the Good Old USA in the next election two years from now.  The way things look the country is going to need a good Watchdog to guard the Congress from messing up the country anymore that it already is.  A good Watchdog can at least keep the Skunks and Polecats from stealing all of the eggs out of the henhouse.
