Good luck with that. Tough time to be looking for a job. Something tells me that if the GOP wins in November jobs will magically appear out of thin air. So, hang in there Zeke.

You all right man?

I haven't been around much. Just really busy and trying to keep my head in a "good place". Getting all worked up convincing myself that I'm smarter than anyone who disagrees with me doesn't help with that goal.

Did want to see if you guys had any thoughts on yesterday's elections so I popped over for a bit.

It's a continuation of what we've been seeing. The Democrats elect stale old mainline Democrats and the Republicans elect nut jobs, in this case a misogynist and the founder of the WWE.

In other words, Democrats: boring, Republicans: scary.

'Welcome, you lilly livered ignorant (insert leftie/rightie here)'?

I'm not sure how a site like this grows. But many do. One has to enjoy the fairly hard back and forth that politics assumes.

I absolutely agree with the crudity. Family Guy can be quite funny satire wise but man, I can't believe that's on prime time, we've gone downhill. It's like we've lost our marbles.

For the record I respect and like you guys It helps to look at truth like a diamond, it is many faceted, and sometimes both sides are right.

This place is full of pussy cats compared to some of the blogs at WashPost. Old E.J.Dionne's blog has attracted more nutcases - both left and right - that posting there is about as useful as yelling up a dead horse's arse.

Well, that would probably get Beck's attention.

Whereas Bill O'Reilly is merely an animatronic puppet!
