Erm, yeah. Go Taylor!

*sidesteps lightning*

Politicians are so messed up. None of them focus on their values anymore -- they just focus on what they're not going to be.

*stern glare*

LOL

Yeah, and even when they tell you what they won't do, or how bad the other one is, you never feel like any of them are telling you the truth. They've just read the latest poll, and decided to pick one of the things that someone told them they should be for or against.

No, it'll be safe to turn the telly on tomorrow, not today! Though the polls are now closed, where you are. (Eight minutes left here in CA.)

I agree that they're all horrible. I want to be able to take a vote away from someone, instead of voting for someone else, because that someone else seems to be the lesser of the two evils. Of course, if that was actually possible, no one would ever have a positive number of votes; the winner of the election would be the one with the least number of negative votes.

I feel very privileged to be an American, but that doesn't change the fact that this country is messed up. The ideas behind the way things are run are great; it's the corrupt bureaucrats people who run things that make it all suck.

Boy, that turned into a rant, didn't it?

Someday I want to be a hermit and live the simple life in a treehouse, miles away from everything and everyone.

Still not safe...all the news stations are focusing on the two Senate races that are still up for grabs. ~whimpers~

At least the ads are done and we can get back to those amusing feminine hygiene and male erectile dysfunction ads that we all love.

This is a great country, no matter what some people say about us. As far as I know, no one died on their way to the polls, and no one died because the "wrong" or "right" person was elected.

I'll come live in the treehouse next to you - but can we have indoor plumbing? Simple is fine, but outhouses, not so fine...

can we have indoor plumbing? Hey, this is our dream -- why not? There is a hotel that is simply a pair of twin treehouses in Hawaii, and there is running water -- it's cold, but it's running -- so outhouses are not necessary. (The water runs down a pipe from a nearby waterfall.)

At least the ads are done and we can get back to those amusing feminine hygiene and male erectile dysfunction ads that we all love. LOL! You would not believe the subject lines of the spam I get in my work e-mail's inbox every day. Most of them I just delete without a thought, but the ones that talk about *ahem* coming just after penetration ... I'm just wondering why anyone would think that this is a good thing. Half a second of shaking my head in disgust, then I delete the message.

Oh, I know. Those ads are so bad. I have three email accounts, and only one of them gets loads of spam, but it is simply amazing to read the subject lines. You've got to give them kudos for the creativity they use in figuring out how to get past filters. The thing that troubles me is that someone must be buying the stuff, or the emails would stop. Ewww. *bleach to brain*

The thing I hate about those commercials is when they play during family type shows. Nothing says "awkward" like the silence after your 8 year old turns to you and asks "What is erectile dysfunction anyway?"
