I get home from work today. Catch up on the local news....so I won't be so ignorant around the proverbial water cooler at work tomorrow. Gotta get the slanted not-accurate news so at least I know "something" happened.
4 minutes of local news and then a commercial break.
Let's say "Sally" and "Billy" are running against each other for public office, at some inordinate level, wannabes, both of them. But they're both after the lifetime pension I guess. First commercial news break, Sally says Billy has lied about this and that, stolen money from wherever, and he can't be trusted.
5 more minutes of spun-up news and another commercial break. Billy's got his own 30 seconds, saying Sally has been married 6 times and if she can't even manage her personal affairs, how can she be qualified to manage public affairs?
Where I'm going with this is THIS: If I'm at work in the real workplace, I mean at work - on the job - and there's somebody I can't seem to get along with....if I bought a TV commercial saying "Bobby is a career liar and can't get a danged thing done because he doesn't even know how"....as much as that might feel good, and it might even be true...do you think I would have a job in the morning? Hell no. Fired and sent down the road.
But that's the nature of elections. It's freaking hilarious.
