(sigh)
I feel bad,
that, as a person who regularly states the importance of facts and being an informed participant,
that I am utterly unable to watch the presidential debate.
wait - did I not tell you that, because Barack Obama gave up on the push for the culture shift in political discourse away from the assignment of the tribal labels of "Conservative" and "Liberal" (at that point, still secondary to "Rep" and "Dem") assigned by Newt, Rush and the Pennsylvania Avenue NeoCon Krew and, years later, the least qualified least fit human being in...perhaps, all political history was elected (by the electoral college, despite a clear popular vote defeat) as president?
oh. well. I'm sorry. Yeah... And he didn't even hide that he is a ridiculous sycophant. He didn't try to make himself better to make an actual attempt to do a job that he obviously didn't want (or expect to have to) do.
so. like I was saying -
I feel like I SHOULD watch the debate in order to be able to talk constructively about it.
which seems like a concept rife with - irony is simply not a big enough word...
I tried. I did. I will try to read a transcript instead.
I guess I will read up on the other items on the ballot now.
"Ma'am, can I go to the library? I promise I'll go straight there and study...I just can't take any more of THIS."
so, I am fragile, right?
Snowflakey?
