It's no coincidence that superman's arch nemesis was a businessman who later became a politician. The bailout has passed, we are screwed, but nothing will be done about it. In one month every member of the house will be up for re-election, along with 33 senators and we are crowning a new president. And despite the financial mess all of them have led us to, 80% of them will be re-elected, and the few new faces will have no power because junior congressmen and senators are the political equivalents of freshmen in high school trying to play football with seniors. And by the time they do get some say they will be perfectly integrated in the Washington system. In the end, nothing changes, nothing, our system has been brilliantly designed though two centuries of politicians who wave the banner of the constitution like a badge of honor but in reality it's only a cover for the same games that everyone else plays.
yeah maybe I'm just cynical, but it really doesn't matter now who's fault it is. BOTH candidates voted for the bail out, so this issue wont get fixed no matter who makes it to the oval office.
Ok, enough on the economy, lets focus on the other big story. Tonight Sarah Palin will face Joe Biden in the Vice presidential debate. I personally can't stand it when people say she isn't qualified, because what qualifies anyone to do anything. Obama voted his opinion in the senate, Joe Biden did the same thing only longer, what qualifies anyone to do anything in politics beyond the qualification of enough American's voting for them? I like the fact that Sarah Palin doesn't know much about Washington, I want someone to go in there as untouched by that place as possible. I'm glad she's from Alaska, I hope she goes in there with no political ties, no idea how it works, and reshapes the whole place to how she thinks it should run because a Dog couldn't do a worse job than the people we have there now. In fact, if a Golden retriever was running for president right now on the platform that he would Bite and chase every Senator and representative out of Washington and replace them with puppies then he would have my vote because a dog wouldn't need my Tax money to spend it on his pet projects, a dog wouldn't take my private property to build a museum, a dog wouldn't force companies to take bad loans and if a dog were to meet the president of Iran he wouldn't need preconditions because he would be the only one to treat him the way he deserves and pee on his leg. Not to mention any dog put in Washington would be much nicer to look at than most politicians.
I had to edit this post a few times to take out the swearing, but I feel better now.

I like your preference to voting for a dog if it ran for president. I think a lot of Americans would join you in your selection. Having Sarah Palin as a VP candidate has helped McCain in further enhancing his maverick type image. Sarah brings something new to the table. She reminds me of Mr. Smith goes to Washington. The fact that she is from Alaska and what she has done implies that she can help change Washington one politician at a time. She changed the way things worked in Alaska when she became governor because she thought that things should have been ran in a different way.
The joke around town is:
If McCain, Obama, Biden, and Palin are in a canoe and it tips over, who gets saved?
