politics- ick.

Let’s talk about politics. Just for a second. Because the democratic convention started, um yesterday, and that’s all that’s on the news.

A new poll stated the McCain and Obama were pretty much tied in ratings. Who did they poll? Are you kidding me. I don’t know how they perform these polls but I’ve got a suspicion that they might only be calling landlines. Land lines for crying out loud. How many voters are they missing out by not calling cell phones? A metric shit ton. My parents for instance, they have landlines at their loft in downtown Dallas and at their house in rural east Texas, but do they use those more than their cell phones? Hecks no. It’s just frustrating to hear the “results” of polls, and CNN to take them so seriously like they’re the gospel truth. No, CNN, you called 100 goofballs all around the country who are sitting next to their landlines during the daytime hours. Who do you think is picking up the phone?

Other thing that’s giving me the red ass, and I can’t believe this is still an issue. Democratic supporters of Hillary Clinton vow to vote for McCain in November. Um, are you on drugs? How is that going to help anything? Jon Stewart said it best when he said that McCain was getting the all important spite voters. Honestly if someone was such a die-hard Clinton fan, generally that means you’re a die-hard democrat. If that’s not how it works then I don’t know what. It just boggles my mind.
I await my voter registration stuff in the mail, and dang it, I’m gonna vote. Not that it really would make a huge difference, voting for Obama in Chicago, IL is like… blowing on a salad to cool it off. Ya know?

Anyways. New website that is currently blowing my mind, mentalfloss.com. It’s kind of amazing. It’s pretty much everything I’d ever want in a daily stop by and read sort of website. Random information that I could use sometime to tell someone about something. Perfect!
