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
...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.
