A Good Time For Squirrels

Every presidential election year seems to set new lows in ugly meanness, but this year takes the cake. In the past, Republicans have had the edge in this lack of civility.  Television news reporters, in bitter demeanor, spin the facts so what they present serves more to sway the public opinion  than to inform. Then there are the "shock jocks" like Rush Lindbaugh who spew new ugliness on a daily basis. Though, in the past, Democrats have proven to be a little less rough on each other , candidates Clinton and Sanders have stooped to new lows as well.  We need to demand more of the candidates.  We need to know how they guide this "ship of state" through the treacherous waters of our time.  Until they do this, squirrels will be living in a time of plenty, because our elected officials are acting like nuts.
