Politics as Usual
I just watched the (hopefully final) Democratic debate. What a travesty it was. At the same time, it was extremely symbolic of the celebrity dredged drivel our elections have become. Both questioners were obvious Clinton supporters, setting her questions up on a T for her to hit, while digging up old news and ridiculous bullshit questions for Obama. The questions were so one-sided and driven that I had to turn the TV off a couple times out of frustration. I can only hope that our fellow Americans were just as disgusted and saw through it all. I've been checking some blogs and reading comments to news coverage of the debate, and I must say I'm pretty proud of my countrymen. For the most part, they seem to be deeply critical of the debate and the questions. Discerning -- I never would thought it could be used to describe Americans. I've become a real student of politics now, and I'm taking this very seriously. My last post was a bit more lighthearted, but I've now got a lot invested in this election. I only wish we could run a background check on George Stephanopoulos and post it on TV screens so that everyone would be reminded that the guy worked for the Clintons for years and is a huge fan of theirs. Now why was he chosen to be the primary questioner? I tell you, guys, people search could solve a lot of problems in this country, if only it were more mainstream and accepted. Oh well, enough politic talk. Check out this hilarious website full of giant lists. Some good political stuff on there, believe it or not. Ok, see you guys. I'm gonna go take my omega 3 vitamins.
