Oh what the fuck does it matter, now? (or, When Hope Seems Like a Waste of Energy)

President McCain is inevitable. You can see the MSM lifting their legs over that horse now. One by one, the quality candidates have been dropping out WAY too soon. Too soon to make ANY sense. The media is rapidly, and at will, shaping public opinion. We should thank our lucky stars it won't be Guliani, yet it's pretty apparent he was the "distraction" candidate anyways. Hillary (and Bill) are the corporate of corporates. Obama seems incapable of uttering a useful detail in a speech. Romney is an idiot AND a disaster. Ron Paul is ridiculed even by the debate "moderators". And don't even get me started on the unfortunate treatment of Kucinich...

I have a new baby, a rediculous amount of debt, a college degree, and a quality (albeit low-paying) job. I'm a typical American. And I see now that until ALL the status-quo is abolished, our votes are merely pressing the placebo button.

For the rest of the election season, I will conserve energy. Mine. I have to take care of my family. And I cannot keep pretending that being passionate about one candidate or another will make a difference. Whatever "Washington, D.C." has in store for me will happen whether I support it or not.

From now on, it's just me and the :popcorn:
