Yargh! I felt the need to post something here since I haven't done it in such a long time. Work has been nuts but I have had time to finish a couple things, just not time to take pictures and get them uploaded. I have signed up for the free clip art sampler from Dover Books--I'd recommend that to everyone--it's really fun.
At any rate, I'm also feeling like a Bad Citizen because with election day being tomorrow, I still have no idea who I'm voting for in some of the "other" races. President and governor I think I have figured out, but I haven't a clue about the guys running for representatives and school board and such. I always feel like sort of a cheater moving to a new state just before an election--I really haven't lived here long enough to know what's going on with the local politics or what issues are a big deal around here. Are the schools crappy? Is there a major source of employment that's getting run out of town for some reason? Will there be rioting in the streets tomorrow? I barely have time to pick up a local paper, so I don't know.
But anyway, I'm mainly looking forward to tomorrow so that all this crud can finally be over with for a bit. I won't say who I'm voting for, but can I just mention some of the stuff that I wish would just go away after the election?
1) Is anyone else tired of Christianity being treated like a "base"? Like how a candidate has to throw around the right amount of evangelical-sounding buzzwords to win people over? I'm to the point where having a professed atheist run for office would be almost refreshing--at least I'd know he was probably being sincere about something.
2) The idea that there are only certain Americans that are "real" Americans.
3) The idea that just because some nimrod can write about their opinion on the Internet, anybody else should give a hoot what they think. (Sorry, guess I'll have to include myself in that one.) (But I should mention that this goes double for celebrities.)
4) For the last time, it's pronounced NOO-KLEE-AR, mmmkay?
That's probably enough. It doesn't exactly help that Fox News is always on in the doctors' lounge when I go to get lunch.
In the end, I just hope everyone votes for who they're going to vote for, and doesn't get jerky about it. I think that's the best we all can hope for.
