Finally I can go back to dreading what is in my mailbox because it is a bill I can't afford right now. At long last, I can park in front of my house knowing I won't be looking at innumerable campaign signs littering my neighbors' yards. For the first time in two months, I can turn on the T.V. or radio without having to watch or listen to the continuous nauseating white noise of rediculous political promises or nasty charges leveled by and at candidates running for various positions of "public service". The mid-terms of 2010 are coming to a merciful close.

No more "When Rand Paul was in college, he strangled newborn puppies with his eyebrows." Or, "he-insert any candidate's name here- voted with for George W. Bush's or Barack Obama's policies 90 per cent of the time." Or, "I have a job plan that will get America back to work." No more blatent pandering, empty promises, or, worst of all, family values touted for at least two weeks. Then, of course, the cycle begins again after all the recounts, charges of voter fraud and sour grapes whining is done. That's all the break we will get until the folks who just got elected, and those who were just defeated start raising money for the next campaign.

There has got to be a better way to select our so-called public servants. Most of them are self-serving jackasses. That finger is not exclusively pointed at the party represented by a donkey, though they do seem to have more than thier share.

All I know is that this farcical excersize in feces feeding is almost over. For at least two weeks.
