Sad News: There is an Election Coming
Normal
people, those with actual lives, do not follow every poll on Real Clear
Politics. If you have a good life, then it is likely that you are only
vaguely aware that soon you will have to TIVO past even more political
ads. You know there is an election this year, but like a trip to the
dentist, you have put off the unpleasant task of deciding on a
candidate. Fortunately for you, there are now only two candidates left
with any chance of actually being the president.
Many (if not most) American voters only know three things about the two guys running for President:
1. Neither of them is named Clinton or Bush.
(A pause to thank God for His mercies.)
2. One is young and cool.
3. The other is old and a war hero.
Blessed
is the man who does not check Rasmussen Report three times a day. If
you are this person, congratulations on living a peaceful life. The
genius of the republic is that it allows a man to be a patriot without
being a politico. [more]
