IT'S STUPID TUESDAY!

Yes folks,it's the big day when people in 20 plus states shamble drooling into their respective caucuses and or primaries and vote on what they've seen on TV,heard on the radio,or received in the mail.
Hours upon hours of media blitz,endless debates,shucking and jiving (Obama did not,despite reports to the contrary,engage in any shucking and jiving in my estimation).
To give you a clearer picture of what's going on this election cycle,Diane Holloway,of the famously biased and retarded daily paper here in Austin had an extensive article in the life section today comparing this race to such citizen staples as 24, american idol and the amazing race.Please.enough already.
The future of our country reduced to comparisons to shitty (yet wildly popular) television shows.
Romney started the sniping off early(sore loser parent of a dog murdering boy-why has the media let this one go?Hmmmm) by likening Huckabee's win in West Virginny to some "back room deal" McCain played in Washington...please and fuck you Mittens.
Candidates refer to their "base" supporters,I have a new,yet familiar definition to this so called "base".Have you ever heard the phrase "They were the "basest" elements of society"...
It's pathetic really,candidates going on Letterman and demeaning themselves with (albeit funny)top 10 lists...attack ads, and distortions of the truth.It reminds me of the recurring theme in the first Robo-cop movie:"I'd buy that for a dollar"!
Shallow and meaningless at a time when it needs to be the polar opposite.
I continue to be ashamed to be an american.
May the most crooked,manipulative man/woman win.
Sigh...
