Peg in the Machine

As the holidays approach — we will have less and less to say most likely.  Enjoy the season.

We have nothing to say.

We’ve got nothing of interest to say.

With all the comments floating around, and the electoral college still not actually casting the votes, is “president elect Obama” actually going to be president?

Now the question remains: will people be complaining about the election being rigged?

Well I can’t say for certain, although it wouldn’t surprise me considering the difficulty in third parties getting on the ballot there, and the “two” parties seeming to think they’re not above the law, but are the law.

Nevertheless, Bob Barr Filed suit saying both parties missed the deadline and therefore shoudln’t be found on the ballot.  Let’s be honest here, if there’s a deadline that all candidates need to abide by, and even if the major two parties don’t — too bad.  It’s either the rule and guidelines for all, or it’s being used to intentionally block the other parties from having access to the people.

This is a spacer post — meaning we were either really busy this day, or we didn’t have time to actually post anything.  While we normally just backdate posts, there are times where there’s just nothing other than “the same old stuff” that’s going on, or we’re just way too behind on other things.

… yet you can never seem to find any politician when you need them, or just want to discuss something they handle.

It’s the strangest thing.  When it’s not election year for them, they disappear and you keep on getting secretary upon secretary – and if you’re lucky if you e-mail you might get proof they’ve read your message.  When it’s election year you’d expect them to be kissing your butt, and they do if you manage to get a hold of them, but otherwise they’re never in — only this time you’re given the phrase “they’re campaigning”.

But the shocking part?  I’m talking about local politicians, some of which running against no one.  I guess the blank space on the ballot might just slip in this year eh?

I have to say that this election is starting to get so far off track for what matters that it isn’t even funny.  Oh, maybe in a comedy sketch way – but that’s not good for the country.

Now this election is getting categorized into a simple way: 2 old people, and 2 young people — where the “young” people are divided into the “black” man and the “f*able woman”.  Already there’s people trying to figure out if they want to have a black man in office to prove they aren’t racist, or a woman they can “enjoy” whenever she’s on the TV.

Gotta love that right?  War?  Who cares!  We want sexy people we can “enjoy” talking.  And to think, before that it was about experience, and sometime long long ago (so it seems) it was about the war and human rights.
