Many people are putting a lot of credence on this Mayan calendar. The problem I have is, what day is going to be right, and who is to say when? I know there have been hundreds of people down through the years predicting the end of the world. This whole thing has put me in quite a quandary. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage will not accept some lame excuse that I thought the world was going to end on December 21. On the other hand, if I do not buy Christmas presents assuming that the world will end on December 21, I am going to be redder in the face on Christmas day than Santa’s suit. Being a tightwad such as I am, that is a most blasphemous thing to do. The problem I face is simply this, if I buy a Christmas present and the world actually does end on December 21, I have wasted my money.
But, Christmas Day, that’s a whole different ballgame. After all, Dick Clark is gone, so what is the use of celebrating New Year’s Eve? In my lifetime, I have seen enough people drop the ball I do not need to stay up to midnight to watch everybody drop the ball. In my opinion, it is all hype and nothing else. Personally, I do not mind missing New Year’s Eve. After all, give everybody a few days to enjoy his or her last Christmas. If they would have consulted with me, I would have suggested maybe the end of the month. Why did they pick December 21, which is four days before Christmas? This is very frustrating to me. Now the bone I have to pick is simply this. Believe me, some months I really came close to the end of the world. For years I have predicted the end of the world at the end of every month. I do not mind people predicting the end of the world. I think this should be enough to silence all of this political jibber-jabber the rest of us are tired of hearing.Īs grateful as I am to the Mayan calendar, I do have a little bone to pick with them. Thanks to them, we do not have to worry about any financial cliff that might be looming ahead of us. How they had the foresight to come to our rescue at such a portentous time we will never know. If we had the time, I would recommend that they be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.Īccording to the Mayan’s calendar, the end of the world, whatever that means, is to take place on December 21. Wherever they are, somebody needs to congratulate them on saving not only our world but also our country from a financial disaster. The good news concerning this financial cliff is that we do not have to worry about it at all, thanks to the Mayan’s calendar. I know good news does not make the front page but I think it helps those of us who are tired of the bad news. I am always happy to bring a little bit of good news in the midst of all of the twaddle and idiotic jibber-jabbing that goes on in our country. In the light of this, I bring good news concerning this ominous financial cliff. In fact, the less you know the more you can jabber your jib.Īs one great American consumer and I only speak for myself, I am tired of all of this nonsense. The great thing about being a jibber-jabber is you do not have to know what you are jibber-jabbering about. I have no idea what they are talking about, and I have a suspicion they do not either, but if I am to guess I would say, it is not a great leap of faith. Since the election, there has been a lot of jibber-jabber by the kings and queens of jibber-jabber about some financial cliff we are facing.
