A few minutes left.


 I only have a few minutes to get in a post by midnight. Hmmm, let me think of something.

 Here it goes... at every level of government, we elect people that for the most part, we wouldn't want running a company that we invested heavily in. There.. how is that for last minute thoughts!!! That just shows the poor choices of people we usually have at elections, it's not the best person that we pick, it's the least incompetent of the bunch that we usually get stuck with.

GAYmen!

The LEAST incompetent? My, you're an idealist.

Bob said...

Sadly, it's due to the fact that most people don't at all and simply vote for that last sound-bite they heard.

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Oh, dear.
You just described politics in America.
I cannot understand why is it that people treat politics like it's fucking Prom and they elect somebody 'likeable' or 'popular' instead of someone who can actually do the job.
Ugh.

XOXO

Leanna said...

So right. It is exactly how it is.

Old Lurker said...

... and yet, we are all enamored of certain presidential candidates because they are likeable and popular (and gay).

I find that municipal politicians tend to be more reasonable than the ones at higher levels of government. Maybe this is because the party system is weaker there. I am convinced that political parties are a big reason we are in the mess we are in.

HuntleyBiGuy said...

Lurker, you have NOT seen politics in Chicago. The Democratic Party has had a lock on municipal politics for decades!

Dave R said...

And sometimes it's more akin to voting for Mr / Miss Congeniality, although in this country we're dealing with a moral degenerate.

Old Lurker said...

Huntley: I believe you. Are Chicago municipal politicians as partisan as their state and federal counterparts?

Willym said...

Out of the mouths of babes.... yeah kid that's you!

And what happens at midnight - your computer turns into a pumpkin?

Sooo-this-is-me said...

HuntleyBiGuy, and that's upsetting.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Anne Marie, yeah sister!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Debra, or did you mean realist? Lol

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Bob, yes unfortunately true.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Sixpence, that's also a good explanation, prom king and queen.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Leanna, and there doesn't seem to be a way of fixing it.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Lurks, unfortunately nope! The municipal elections here cleaned house of people that were incompetent, the new slate of candidates are even worse, everyone is so disappointed.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Dave yes you made me laugh Mr congeniality he definitely is not!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Will, thanks for calling me a kid, you're my favorite blog friend today for that!!!
Pumpkin.. no much worse, a giant zucchini! ;)

HuntleyBiGuy said...

Absolutely. At the state level, the liberal/democratic members of the legislature virtually all come from the Chicago and some of the other metro areas. But Illinois is largely rural so those members are largely republican. But since the legislature is population based, the Dems control both houses, the governorship and both senators are currently Dem.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

HuntleyBiGuy, people are trying to keep local politicians from forming along party lines but it's not always successful.

According to Stanford Medical, It's in fact the one and ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years more and weigh 19 kilos less than we do.

(By the way, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some hard exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING about "how" they are eating.)

BTW, I said "HOW", not "what"...
