well this just doesn't bode well for america

Remember when I used to use this blog as a place to rant and rave about the state of the world?

I wonder what happened...

Oh wait, I remember.

I got really excited when the Democrats took back the House and Senate only to watch them continue to trot out different versions of the same legislation that keeps getting vetoed. The dollar is slipping, oil prices are up, the housing market is in a downward spiral, health care costs continue to skyrocket, and they won't let Iraq go. Let it go. We're not going to pull out. Maybe we should, but I can pretty much guarantee until Bush is out nothing is going to change so just stop and start trying to fix some shit at home.

And speaking of Bush being out, how is it possible that primary season hasn't even started and I've already got extreme candidate fatigue?!?! Me! The biggest political junkie I know and I am sick to death of hearing about Clinton and Edwards, and Guiliani and Thompson. I haven't watched one single debate, people. Not one!

Plus I'm also living in a state that, right or wrong, is challenging tradition when it comes to primaries which means none of the candidates are even campaigning here. The RNC is threatening to strip MI of half its delegates while the DNC won't seat any of MI delegates.

Disenfranchised much?

You win, George. You win. You've beaten even me into submission. Unfortunately because this country is still standing after every thing you've done to it, I honestly don't care about the elections. Hell, I don't really much care about the democratic process. Vote, don't vote, don't matter much. When your choices are between a carpetbagger and a man whose political experience amounts to being class president of a really big high school how could anyone truly believe their vote counts for anything?
