O...Of course I kid about swearing off Jon Stewart. Once a Daily Show fan, always a Daily Show fan. I agree with Bernie Sanders though. Part of me thinks, gosh, what the hell did we all spend our time caring about before this election came along, and will we continue to be this caught up in politics? I hope so. I think it's high time we quit handing the reigns over to our elected officials and busying our brain cells with American Idol and who Paris Hilton is canoodling with. The Bush administration got away with a heck of a lot because we the people were too fat and happy to care.I For One.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/04677769008818921943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23251589.post-29674858648722191162008-10-24T11:09:00.000-07:002008-10-24T11:09:00.000-07:00I get up every morning and swear to myself I won't...I get up every morning and swear to myself I won't obsess about the polls or the predictions. By 10AM I'm glued to my computer or the TV hunting for signs of progress by the Obama campaign. I come from a country where we don't get too excited by elections or politics in general,BUT no matter how hard I try I can't shake the feeling that the future of this country and it's people, this USA, is riding on the outcome of this election. By the way, I've never suffered from paranoia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23251589.post-898584836336476592008-10-24T09:03:00.000-07:002008-10-24T09:03:00.000-07:00Swear off Jon Stewart - wow girl, that's hard core...Swear off Jon Stewart - wow girl, that's hard core. I have to admit my own addiction (ha ha - AA for political junkies!) but while watching Real Time with Bill Maher last night (recorded on the DVR, so not sure which week's episode) one of his panelist was Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)a "democratic socialist" and brought up the good point that we can't stop caring after the election is over - our democracy requires us to be invloved. And now that I have the bug......will I ever have a good night's rest or will I now worry over the world and America's problems forever?!?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
