The Politics of Not Caring
Watched/heard the Canadian debate tonight. It was pretty entertaining, and I enjoy that our national debate sounded (at times) like a townhall meeting over zoning regulations where half the partipants are boozed up and tired of waiting for the microphone. But I missed most of it because I spent a great deal of time making turkey burgers and cutting myself (somehow) on a wine bottle.
Hello Kitty bandages are not waterproof.
I am amazed at the amount of "If 1,000,000 people join this group..." groups on Facebook. Has any decision in the history of this entire decade ever been decided by a Facebook group? 7,000,000,000 people could all join the same Facebook group outlawing the sale of leaky Tupperware containers, yet the practice would still continue. The only thing the internet has ever accomplished is pointing out Photoshop frauds and making us all really horny. Bless you Web 2.0. You are the car crash of voyeurism and exhibitionism that humans have been trying to perfect since Adam & Eve.
Also, thank you Internet. I am dumber and smarter at the same time. I know more about the German trucking regulations and Napoleon, but sentences and words are harder to put together in coherent order.
Content Management Systems make my head hurt.

I was amazed at how when I got bored of the Canadian debate, I changed the channel, only to see Sarah Palin make a ridiculously laughable comment. I then immediately changed it back to the Canadian debate. Why do politics have to be so boring yet addictive? Or is that just me? I couldn’t stop watching no matter how hard I tried, and I managed to watch a lot of the commentary afterword too!
As for the Collins marketing plot- lame! Then again, has Collins really ever had any clout anyways when it comes to the English language?
