So after the last debacle of a US election, not to mention the most recent Canadian one, along with afore-mentioned events in my personal life, I kind of lost my zest for politics. I figured if a majority wanted to act like mean, irrational, id-driven lizard people that was fine, but I didn’t have to waste my time thinking about it too much.
With elections in both countries rapidly approaching, though, I’ve started to care again despite my best efforts of apathy. I still read the news peeping between my fingers, much like I watch a really scary movie, but I’m reading it. I’ll leave the pontificating about how fast our handbasket is moving towards its final destination for another day, but for tonight I’ll just close out with two amusing links: McCains for Obama and PalinBingo! Combine the latter with the alcohol of your choice for the best damn time you’ve ever had watching a VP debate.
(PS: Again, I’m just catching up now on all my polls and details, but I got a sense today that the GOP campaign was in trouble when I overheard the Marketing Blondes down the hall decide that Palin “is, like, a nice person and stuff but maybe not ready to totally run a country, you know?”, while McCain was decried as “Eww, old. Like, my grandfather old”.)
