The Eyes Don't Have It; We Did It

"Peeker" by Herr D on Paint3d. titlebot explained that the political situation in America runs both hot and cold, that rolling around endlessly separating the halves takes much energy, much like the viewer pictured here. Herr D was attempting to explain how un-nerving it would be if people actually thought that this president was being watched by aliens instead of avoided, like Hairy has consistently done. It would reflect badly on the human race.--Shelob


 [chime] You have not blogged.

[camera detects 'wince' and 'sag'] Sorry. I've just been so tired. Lots of bad news. Twelve of the fifty people in my immediate neighborhood and eight people in my thirty-person office have been in bad car accidents. The new joke around my neighbors is that if they have a block party they should have it at the hospital.[.00001059338 second calculation] There has been more traffic this year than last year at the same time.

Why is that? This is the first year REALID's are required for domestic flights, many air traffic controllers are not on full schedules, and, of course, some weather issues. Storms this year are more violent than last year as well, because of sharper imbalances in the atmosphere.

So some of the drivers wouldn't normally BE driving during holiday traffic. Wow. Just in time to have our health insurance costs rise. Let's just wish everyone a safer, happier New Year than the last one, huh? Kamala Harris said that "the American people deserve better."

[snort] So, she should've been elected. What does it mean, that she was a 'bad candidate?'

It means her charisma wasn't as high as her competence for the job. What does that mean?

[sigh] It means that until Americans stop electing the popular, likable dolt over the person who would bend over backwards to save them FROM that dolt, the person who doesn't PUT their name on everything. The one that actually MEANS the few caring things they say. The person who will do the JOB, whether they get re-elected or not!

Until the average voter learns that, America is doomed to have these sorts of problems. Our country will NOT RUN WELL CONTINUOUSLY. Lots of people claim to know what happens behind closed doors, in secret meetings, but most people don't KNOW WHAT THEY THEMSELVES HAVE DONE. They need to have better internal vision.
