I’m SO glad the election is over. The American political regime is such a sham; has been for quite a long time. Frankly I’m not sure it matters who wins anymore. We all know that special interest groups run the country. The person/group with the most money to throw around, gets what they want. So much for Democracy. At least I won’t have to endure all of the bullshit advertising campaigns for a few years.

I suppose it really boils down to this fact: I’ve lost all faith in the American government to do anything useful or productive. The only two things the government excels at is hemorrhaging money and meddling in the affairs of the rest of the world. The American economic engine is severely broken. The government’s solution? Throw $700 billion of tax payer money at the financial institutions in this country. How about a fix, instead of a band-aid?

Next presidential election, I’m voting for Jack Bauer.
