I’ve been dodging rabbits lately.  I mean, I seem to be dodging them more than usual.  Rabbit dodging is a common practice when you drive out in the country.  I dodge because I don’t want to kill them even though they are delicious and I have eaten my share in my life.  I know some that say  they don’t dodge them.  I don’t really believe this.  It sounds like bravado to me.  Who runs over a little furry rabbit on purpose?  I bet Hitler wouldn’t have run over a rabbit for no reason.  Well Hitler is probably a bad example, but who runs over a rabbit for the hell of it?  I dodge them.  I used to hunt them when I was young.  Now I dodge them.  I don’t mind if you hunt them.  Hunting is fine, but I digress.

       The rabbits running into the middle of the road set me to thinking about our current political climate.  I believe I am a middle of the road type political person.  I believe a lot of us are.  Unfortunately for us, we get lumped in with nuts on the extremes within our particular party.  Both sides have nuts.  We don’t like nuts.  I must say something here.  When I say “nuts” I mean people with extreme political views.  I didn’t want anyone to get confused since we just had this big wiener picture scandal with that politician named Wiener.  Sorry I had to explain that.  I don’t know if there is a congressman Nuts but if there is I didn’t want to offend him or start a rumor that Congressman Nuts is sending pictures of his actual nuts to young women.  That would be nuts both literally and figuratively, but I digress.

        What I am talking about is this area in between both parties that we occupy.  I think we have common sense.  I  think we can compromise on almost anything.  I’m going to speak for us now and if it offends you, then you are not one of us.  I believe we can compromise on abortion.  We could easily say no more abortions unless in the case of  rape, incest, or life of the mother.  That’s reasonable.  I don’t think reasonable people believe that abortion is the best  form of birth control.  It’s just not.  We can compromise however.  We can limit who can get one with this one  big caveat-sex education must be taught in school.  I mean reasonable sex education of course.  I know what some of you nuts are thinking.  You’re thinking I’d have the janitor and the cook demonstrate various sex acts in front of a class of third graders.  I’m NOT thinking that.  I’m thinking teens need good honest information about how someone gets pregnant.  I think we must insist on this.  It’s a good compromise.  It’s right in the middle where we are.  Here’s another one- I think gays should be able to get married only we won’t call it marriage.  We’ll call it fairiage.  Fairiage has the same legal rights of marriage but it’s not marriage.  It’s Fairiage.  See how easy this is.  We can compromise on taxes and the debt ceiling and cutting spending.  We can easily do it because we are not being sucked into the crazy two party vortex.  We need a name for this new party.  It’s has to be something middle sounding and it also needs to pay homage to the rabbits who gave me this idea.  How about Centerhares?  That sounds too nasty.  Harems?  I think that’s already a nasty word.  Midfurcrats?  That sounds pretty bad as well.  Dammit, I’m undecided.
