4 more days!

Only 4 more days until the new leader of the country is chosen. Jeremy and I voted last night so we are set! I was watching Oprah this morning and she voted yesterday as well (I always knew we were close). Apparently, this was the first time she ever voted electronically...anyone else not voted electronically either? Vegas must be ahead of the times then...that's the only way I ever have voted.
Anyway, on our way home we checked our mail and had a STACK of fliers all on why we shouldn't vote for Dina Titus, or John McCain, Obama, Jon Porter, etc...and that's when it hit me...after Nov. 4th we will no longer have to listen to all the smear campaigns for everyone, no longer get annoying calls from the Democratic or Republican parties wanting to tell us how excited they are over in their offices and why we should come down and have a looksy, have Michelle Obama call on behalf of husband or Sarah Palin call to make sure we enjoyed our chat with a volunteer on their side... No longer will shows be canceled because of a 30 minute commercial all about the wonders that are Barack Obama, and maybe (just maybe) we can watch news that will be slightly more informative on other things that have been happening in the world instead of our own popularity contest. Although I have enjoyed watching SNL on Thursdays...good ol' skits about all the candidates.
Sorry for the tirade. But after Nov. 4th it will all be over...for another 2 years...didn't you know that was the trend now? Announcing your candidacy 2 years before the current presidency is up! Oh how I loathe politics. Happy voting!

I have a friend recently move to NV (last year or so?) who scanned in one of those Dina Titus pamphlets, and I about died laughing, it was like a midevil queen type theme to it, storybook style about how she would raise taxes and tax everyone on everything. I found great humor in it.
