A couple of scary bits...

a couple of frightening things have come out of this election (sidebars, of course, to the one large scary thing that could come out of this election)...

• sarah palin being hailed as "the new ronald reagan" (which basically implies she's an old dead cowboy who can't remember where she parked her horse)
• the 2012 campaign begins nov. 5th
  

seriously, 20 months of presidential campaigning sucked. but 48 months? that's gonna suck and blow at the same time and we all know what happens then...

...that's right, the world will collapse on itself. 

politics never goes away. it is a tasty aspect of life (especially if you think about bacon every time some moron tosses his political concerns/fears/bleetings on the fire) that can add unwanted inches to the waist and unnecessary fat around the brain. and while campaigning never seems to stop, we, the people, are well within our rights to ignore it. and since we can't count on our elected officials to exercise good judgement and restraint, maybe it' s time the electorate turned it's back on the endless parade of lifeless packaging we call "elections". 

at least until the last couple of months, when everything turns vicious and ugly. then maybe, we can sneak a peek.

everybody knows, america loves a train wreck.

update: speaking of scary bits, check out this chunk of crazy from texas: 23% of voters polled in texas are convinced barrack obama is a muslim. proof once again that no matter what the truth is, people can ignore it.

A couple of things you should "no"...

your pal, Lunch the box, has a compiled a brief list of things you should "no", if you don't already...

• no, obama is not a muslim. 
• no, he's not the anti-christ either. if he was the anti-christ, it'd be harder to point out.
• no, colin powell is only black when he endorses a black guy for president. the rest of the time, he is a soldier who has served his country for most of his life (like john mccain, only mccain would never endorse a black man for president).
• no, all christians are not assholes. like everyone else in america, they just suffer from bad leadership.
• no, this election has not gone on forever (it just feels like it).
• no, sarah palin did not abuse her power in alaska (unless you read the report that said she did and then, yeah, she may have...and, oh yeah: wink).
• no, bush has not left the country, but the country might have left him.
• no, fox news is not really news. but neither is cnn, or msnbc, or any other televised reporting. it's not really infotainment either (as it lacks both). 
• no, the recession is coming (it'll be the only thing under the tree on christmas).
• no, politics and bacon don't mix. but if you have to be force fed something shitty tasting, you might as well associate it with something really delicious.
