Okay so it DOES matter. Vote. Clearly it mattered 4 years ago and 8 years prior to that and not enough people took it seriously the last two times (I have to believe that is why Bush had two terms...I really don't want to believe that people ACTUALLY voted for him).

 

Anyways I am living in the country now. There is a Ho-down (spelling here is unknown) where I can meet my local representative (or at least the republican one). What does one wear to a ho-down? LOL! Even more importantly what will happen there? What will be said? Not sure if I can go given the party affiliation. Hmmm...I am curious. Will they be chanting Palin and McCain's name? Ah Palin. Isn't she such a wonderful representation of what it means to be a smart, well-spoken woman in America today? I mean golly-gee what a Maverick. Okay enough of the politics. I apologize for the sacarsm but it is once again UNBELIEVABLE what has happened in America today and politics here.

 

All I keep thinking along with everyone else is HOW BAD IS IT GOING TO GET? We have open enrollment in November when we have to decide what we should do with 401k and other investments...um, is there going to actually BE a stock market?! See my dad was not that far off. I am not that crazy either...we are all just waitign to see what is going to happen. Biting nails and wondering why I even bother to listent to NPR and Lehr hour because it just causes anxiety about the state of things which really I have NO control over. So I am moving on. We all need to move on. Bye Bush Bye! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
