The Gods and Goddesses of apathy are speaking to me here in the wee fucking hours, They are making great sense.
Politics is a strange interest to have in a Democracy that celebrates individualism. You really shouldn't care a worm's ass what other people think as you pursue happiness. Eat what you want. Who cares what the restaurant reviews say. Get strength or amusement out of whatever entertainment you choose. You really shouldn't take comfort in being in synch with the masses. They loved Milli Vanilli for chrissakes. So why in a two party system where the policy interests of each party are as defined as the differences in a fast food hamburger stand and a vegetarian cafe, as well defined as the difference between a heavy metal band and a string quartet, should we give a shit about the wishy-washy assholes who take us from an Obama 4 point lead to a McCain 1 point lead?
It will be a tough lot for people trying to make a living in this country over the next few years. As we make our choices in the presidential election this year we can take comfort in what the rest of the world has thought as they have watched the last two presidential elections. Dear God you can sell the rubes in the states anything. Let that be a comfort as we go through the tough economic times ahead.
