Drive-thru Politics

I know I said I was going to wait a couple of days but I thought I would jump in very briefly and talk about politics for a second. I have never been very political and, by most standards, still remain fairly neutral about the subject however, I've been thinking about one thing during the last couple of weeks with all the conventions and whatnot: does anyone else think something's not right if a country of 250 million people can choose a leader by just over 500 votes? Regardless of who wins, at least half of the "voting" public is going to be pissed off about it. Shouldn't we try to find a candidate who at least a sizeable majority of the people want to win. I'm not asking for 90% but what about 60%?

In all the hundreds of thousands of politicians in the county, can't we find two more likeable people or even one?

Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves in the comments section. Anyone who comes up with a viable answer wins 100 points towards the grand prize.

Happy Chatting!

So I got a message wondering where I've been for the past couple of days and why I haven't been posting. Truth is...I was arrested. Not proud about it. If I was, you'd have seen a blog about it by now and in fact, I do have a blog about it sitting on my desktop but I just can't bring myself to publish it. It's pretty funny but I have issues as to whether the topic is funny or not; sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. What I'm getting at is I've had difficulty trying to find the funny in anything in the aftermath of it and I need a couple of more days to decompress.

On a positive note, I have another wedding coming up this weekend (surprise, surprise) and I'm sure there'll be plenty of ammo to fill blog after blog. If you all could hold on for a couple more days I'm sure I can come up with something to brighten your day or even day and a half.

I will probably publish what will be known as the "lost blog" at some point. You'll just have to keep watching.

Thanks
