Politics & Politicians

Roll On Wednesday...

So Tuesday is the big day for the US and much of the World as we will find out who will be the next Supremo of the free world. Frankly, at this point, I don't give a jot. I am so sick of the pair of them and the stupidity that gets called politics in the US and wait for the relative silence after the election when we can all return to reading real news about real people.

US elections have no substance. It's all nonsense spouted by each parties PR machine and in response to the gajllion polls that get issued on an hourly basis. Who the hell cares? What I want to know is what do you intend to do if elected not what your preacher said last week, who you hung with when a young kid or whether you inhaled while smoking weed at college.

Financial Crisis as the Rich get Richer and the Rest of us Crash and Burn

The world is coming apart at the seams as banks fail or nearly fail and the ripple has yet to finish moving. All we can be sure of when all is done and dusted the rich will be even richer and the rest of us will be deep in doodoo......

US Politics Descends Into Same Old Same Old

McCain and Obama in a dead heat and Obama seems to have lost his tongue or maybe the DNC have decided it's their way or the highway. To me, it looks like politics as usual from both parties throwing insults and accusations at each other - what happened to Obama's freshness and do 'it doesn't have to be like this' attitude?

I can't believe that the US will elect McCain and Co. I mean he is older than God and has a far worse memory. But he represents the status quo, the reason why the US is deep in doo doo right now and all you can surely expect is more of the same?

Can Clinton Actually Count?

Hilary Clinton now claims the popular vote and has told us that votes don't count until cast - which means she is going all of the way to the Democratic convention in the hope that Sen. Obama makes some blunder between now and then. But hang on. Who would elect a woman who seemingly can't count? And who makes up and changes the rules as she goes? This woman has an ego the size of Everest and believes it is SHE who is important (and her alone) in this election.

Come on Hilary - we know that you love Nazi created PR tactics (If you say something loud enough and often enough people believe it) but we too can count.... and Obama leads in the popular vote....
