Quote of the Day

The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.*
- Larry Hardiman

I saw this walking down Abbot Kinney posted to a construction barrier. It is amazing the lengths people will go to create the desired (read: negative) impression of their opponent in politics. Less than a week after I snapped this shot, Hillary had released pictures of Obama wearing what could be described as a middle eastern adult diaper.

If this is what we get in the primaries, I can't wait for the election season to really get going!

I still predict that Bin Laden will be captured this summer between August 18th and September 28th. He'll be paraded through the streets for all to see and the party currently in power will use the event to trumpet, "the plan is working!" Their candidate will breeze through the general election and we'll have another 4 to 8 years of business as usual for the religion, oil and war party.

Then I wake up in a cold sweat and hope it is really just a recurring nightmare, not a premonition.

* Program Note: Despite my taking shots at the three candidates and the current administration, I have great respect for and belief that our leaders can do good for the people of our country. I believe that making true, lasting positive changes takes pure motives, a strong will and long view of what is really right and good. I also believe this type of leadership is currently almost completely lacking in those who hold state and national office in our country. There now, don't you feel better?
