Wrestler

I would like to tell you on this blog a little about politics.

There's this guy who works at the White House.

(The White House is a house that is painted white and holds in it the President of America, who we all know is the Leader of the Free World and the most powerful man on all the planet.)

(America is a big country located in the upper middle part of the Western Hemisphere, and is the place where the people and their things are freer than all other people and things anywhere on the entire globe.)

(The globe is the planet and the planet is a big, round version of the ground, and it is hurtling very speedily through space.)

(Space is everything.)

This guy who works in the White House and is the person I was referring to before (but not the President, who I also, you may remember, referred to) has a very important and significant job. His job is one that keeps him on duty almost all the time, 24 hours a day almost, and seven days a week almost.

It's a very difficult and hard job.

His job is to wrestle with others who have the same (or a similar) job in other countries.

(Other countries have something sort of like a White House, but usually shaped different, and also often of a different color.)

(Blue, maybe. Or a nice green.)

(Other countries also have something like the President, but their "Presidents" will have a different name often, and they will also not be anywhere near as powerful as our president, who is as powerful as a person can be.)

(Other countries are places with their own special borders on other parts of the globe. They are almost 100% of the time on the ground and not in the water, except for Atlantis.)

(Some people deny that Atlantis exists as a country, and those people do not think that Atlantis—because it is not there or anywhere—even has a President or a White House colored a similar or different color.)

The man from earlier who wrestles for the President of America is the best of the country wrestlers in the whole wide world. This is why our President is such a powerful President. And why our country has so many of the freedoms that we all enjoy and take advantage of.

That is what I have to tell you about politics for now.

"One time I saw a guy with three Biggies at once. One wonders not about him, but about what holds us back."
