two sided politics
Didn't get much accomplished this weekend, but had plenty to do.
I had a political rant all prepared, but now that I've sat down here, I've totally lost it.
Guess it's a genetic issue, as when my parents were here over Christmas, they both forgot many things on short notice, making me dread my future mental state.
Because I feel half handicapped now.
I played my first volleyball game in nearly a year today. It went pretty good, but my shoulder that has been bothering me for the last 2+ months was a big question mark.
I performed ok, but it was a definite liability.
We'll see how the rest of the season goes.
ok I remember now. I was just at the gym and saw more of the updates on the caucuses.
The whole vehicle used to get elected now is really irritating to me.
It's never really mattered much how good a politician you were, it always only mattered what the public perception was of you.
If you could somehow turn yourself into a media darling, you got elected, no matter how big of an idiot you were.
This makes the whole process a sham anyway, so why prolong it?
They should have cut it in half. No political ads or campaigning allowed until August 2008.
Do you know how few people vote based on more than one poltical view?
Never mind how few there are that vote at all!
So now i have to hear about the political election process, and the latest polls for 2 years!!! before the actual election. I hate them all now. By the time whoever actually gets elected gets sworn in, I'm going to hate him as much as I hate Bush right now!
The other very real problem with this new longer election "season" is the fact that it's no longer a season at all. It's a full time job for many people. Many people are making a living, and some a very god living, at doing nothing more than helping people get elected in one form or another.
These people are bottom feeders.
What are they really doing that is productive or beneficial to our society?
Nothing I can see.
If you shorten the process as I suggest, these people no longer have jobs, and they have to resort to picking up trash on the roads.
At least in my fantasy world.
