Okay, friends, neighbors, and relatives, listen up. I'm only going to say this once. Seriously, though, keep reading. If my rant doesn't at least make you smile, I'll promise you something that I have absolutely no ability to provide in the greatest political fashion I can muster.
Politicians are assholes, and unless you've been living under a rock in central Tennessee, then you're quite aware that there's an election coming up. Many people believe that this will be the most important election of our lifetime, regardless of what color banner they wave at the rallies. I've already seen the internet (including SG) full of vitriol, borderline hate speech, and downright lies... again, from both sides. So here's my suggestion, and the action that I'll be taking.
Politicians are assholes. Some people like them, some people hate them, everyone's got one. Some people think their's is a little ugly and wish they could change them. You think your asshole is better than my asshole, and you're not likely to change your mind. You may be right. I think my asshole is better than your asshole, and I'm not likely to change my mind. I may be right. At the end of the day, they're both still assholes, and the asshole that I honestly think best isn't even a choice. I'm sure you're likely to recognized that your preferred asshole is also no longer a choice.
So, from now until the election, I'll be refraining from speaking of, or about these assholes (I hope you like football and seasonal beer discussions). Let the assholes throw shit at each other. If you'd really like to discuss the issues civilly (as opposed to discussing the assholes), I'd be happy to do so in a face-to-face manner offline, preferably over coffee or seasonal beer, depending on the specific day and time. I think we'd both be surprised to learn that we have similar goals and desires, just different ideas on how to get there. Once the election is over, we can go on about or normal daily lives where one of us will bitch that the elected asshole isn't doing enough to fill the promises he made while the other bitches that the elected asshole is shitting on the constitution.
In the meantime, fuck these assholes. Lets drink beer and watch football.

I love cooking. And I love cookbooks! Very nice gifts to get.
My weekend was pretty good. Got out of the house for awhile yesterday which was much needed. My son was a riot this weekend, he is always a blast to hang out with. I posted pics up on Facebook, check them out.
