Best advice I can give, don't vote.

That's right, I said don't vote. You and I both know that those voting machines are not hooked up to anything. They (the big bad government) are just messing with us. Maybe they decided we could not handle (or just did not want) the responsibility. Most people don't vote anyway. I would like to think that American Idol and Dancing with the Stars are proof that we want the privilege back. We just want to be able to text our vote in (limit 10 votes per phone, standard text message rates apply). Or maybe our next Presidential election could be like Survivor. 10 candidates have to survive on a Middle Class income, work at an actual job and vote each other off after various challenges including juggling children, work and relationships (not really throwing children in the air, but balancing the actual responsibility without a maid and a nanny). Oh, and they all have to drive minivans during the challenge. I know I would enjoy that more than the current process... and remember, don't vote because it doesn't matter.

Nebraska - not brilliant... and another useless debate.


No, I am not watching another useless debate. Watching tweedledee and tweedledum suck up to the middle class with empty promises and plans that cannot in a million years be funded while "slap fighting" with each other just makes me embarrassed by our electoral process. I find it humorous the passion that seems to be everywhere in this election when the facts indicate that the majority of us don't even vote. I will be glad when this is over and nothing changes. At least at that point the commercials will go back to normal and I won't have to watch neighbors wage their passive aggressive lawn sign wars with each other. It's like if you have the most signs in your lawn then you are the cool one. The truth is the old lawn flamingos are cooler than the election signs. Go get lawn flamingos, go now. And get a lawn gnome. There is my travelocity plug.


Now on to Nebraska. State Senator Ernie Chambers brought a lawsuit against God. That's right, The Almighty. Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for everyone who is sane) the court dismissed the case because God does not have an address and therefore he cannot be served. Chambers has been part of the Nebraska legislature for the last 38 years and is not going for election. This guy is clearly an idiot. Perhaps he was not hugged enough as a child (or maybe hugged too much?), who knows. What does this say about the people of Nebraska? They elected him for 38 years. That goes past ignorance, that is just plain stupid. Way to go over there.
