You know, when it comes down to it, I just don't really like either candidate we've got this year.

Think of it like a wrestling match: In this corner we have...Baraaaaaaaaaacccckkkk Obaaaaaammmmmaaaa. Change! Change! Change! Change!

BTW, Is anyone else reminded of the RNC in 04 when everyone kept yelling "FLIP FLOP, FLIP FLOP, FLIP FLOP" about John Kerry? Am I the ONLY one who thinks it sounds exactly the same...it just isn't true like the fact that Kerry flipped and flopped on pretty much everything...and will be viewed in exactly the same light by the victors? And then the only change we'll get is that they take out half our paychecks to pay for all the screwed up BS they're doing for us. And they'll make up reasons to raise taxes farther and farther.

And people will start immigrating OUT of the land of opportunity. To find opportunity. How appalling.

But it's coming, whether we want it or not. Because McCain is no better, let me assure you. Oh sure, he says all the right things, and he does all the right things. But come on. That reference to Head of State still stands. Speaking of which, getting back to the boxing match:

In the other corner, we have the Maverick...JOOOHHHNNN MCCCCCAAAAAIIIINNNN. He's a war hero. A former POW. He has decades of experience in the Senate. And he's OLD, like Reagan was!!! And if you stick an "L" in between the "C" and the "A", you get a kick-@$$ action hero, played by Bruce Willis, who single handedly defeats an NSA whistle blower cyber terrorist who, in the words of the immortal Kevin Smith playing the role of cyber hacker Warlock, "...hacked into Norad with a laptop just to prove a point!" McClain! I mean McCain for president!

Ok, yeah, I'm going overboard, I know. There aren't many nutjobs like that out there. But sadly, they DO exist. And these days they aren't the ones talking about government conspiracies, not all of them at least. Many of them are arguing FOR the government.

I saw a Mallard Fillmore comic strip today that I loved. Granted, it IS my favorite comic strip in the world, but whatever. There were two hippie parents in their forties standing around in wacky outfits. One read the note of their kid out loud. "Mom and Dad, I've run away to go work for the government." The other said "I wonder if it's just a phase?"

My, how the tables have turned.

According to family legend, my great, great, great grandfather was Noah Webster, of Webster's Dictionary fame. Now I don't know how much of that is true, but hey, it sure makes for good dinner talk, doesn't it?

Antidisestabilishmentarialism. That's a mouthful of a word that generally means finding your way through the normal routes, be it government or big businesses, in a path already laid out for you, rather than going your own path. Some of you know it as the longest word in my alleged grandfather's all-knowing dictionary.

It's the new hippie movement, isn't it?
