My 2 cents
I went and voted today and thought about this whole election process. Is it me or are you just disgusted with the amount of money that is spent on campaigning – from the most local politician to the highest rank, it is really abhorrent to think about the money that is spent.
Do you know what I heard last night in passing when T turned on CNN for a few minutes? That Sarah Palin will make $20 million this year from her speaking engagements. OMG! You could put a chimp in her place and it would be more entertaining.
Something is seriously wrong and I have to say it is NOT Obama, it is the status quo – hemorrhaging cash to say a bunch of nasty stuff about other politicians is just the most base form of public discourse. At the same time, we are all, even Democrats, berating Obama because he is not saying anything. I’d take the strong silent type over this nonsense any day. Meanwhile, public institutions in this city like the University of New Orleans, the SPCA, and every nonprofit that is actually speaking about things that matter are being left out in the rain. Good grief this is the saddest state of affairs I have ever witnessed.
Is it me? Or are you happy that election day is over come midnight tonight?
