| Happy 21st Amendment Day, everyone! Stop in a bar and have a drink tonight!
Don't know what the 21st Amendment was? Check it out.
Peace.

| Who Hates Politics? I do.
Every two years, fall makes me inordinantly angry. I have
to spend three months listening to/watching adverts that get more and
more angry, vindictive, and, frankly, shitty. When I turn on the radio
or the TV, I want to be able to watch a show or listen to rock without
being sujbected to unsustantiated claims and mudslinging.
Now, I
have no problem watching or listening to adverts that actually address
issues and take on the matters of the day. This year's bumper crop of
adverts, though, seems to be of the decidedly mudslinging variety.
Some examples:
-"Rick Santorum is soft/is talking out of both sides of his mouth on illegal immigration."
-"Big Oil has a friend in Melissa Hart."
-"When asked about granting amnesty to illegal immigration, Bob Casey said 'I would vote yes.'"
-"Rick Santorum supports grinding up glass and feeding it to our senior citizens."
-"When asked about a bill supporting the kicking of puppies, Bob Casey said 'I would vote yes.'"
-"If
Bob Casey gets elected, an Islamic terrorist will be able to get
married to his gay lover, have sex with the dog on their wedding night,
and then have your tax dollars go toward treatment for his diseases."
And so on and so on.
This
is getting beyond ridiculous, and I'm so glad that today is Election
Day. One way or the other, the issues are going to be resolved.
Frankly, even if I had my absentee ballot, I wouldn't vote for anybody.
Well, maybe I'd support my Rep., Ted Strickland, in his bid for Ohio's
governorship. But that would be it.
Politics. Democracy hard at work.
Or maybe just hardly working.

| Well, I'm back...My, it's been a while since I posted in this thing, hasn't it? That might be because nothing much has happened since March. I've gone through about three jobs (currently unemployed), started renting in Ellwood City, and chauffured (or however you spell that word) Marlow around. That's about it.
I had a very boring summer. I haven't written anything, I haven't really read anything very interesting, I haven't really done anything, and I haven't really seen anyone. I'm in a rut.
Help?
-Phil
