An update from one of our gigantic off-topic threads on politics:

Ken Tomlinson is hot water

Investigators at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting concluded today that its former chairman repeatedly broke federal law and its own regulations in a campaign to combat what he saw as liberal bias.

Mary Mapes is saying she shouldn't have been in hot water.

Sigh.

Reality and truth become tenuous and ethereal when in proximity of realms political.

FTA.

I'm tempted to go back to not voting again because I was righter when I thought it only encourages the bastards.

And by NOT, you will discourage them?

I'll hold that thought for awhile. . . . . . Nope, slipped away . . .

Well, I assume you mean NOT as in not voting.

If everyone did, it would send a message, but probably just before some kind of non-democratic change.

I think voting is ok, except that most of the other voters are stupid or uninformed. Well, usually, except occasionally, when they agree with me.

Doesn't happen often enough.

Oh, and there is the other problem that by the time we get a choice, all the good options have been removed by the respective parties. The deck is too stacked for us to have a real vote.

What makes a good politician? Never say yes or no, never agree with anyone, wear cheap suits, accept all donations, learn how to apply the art of "spinning" the English language (lying), send all problems to committees, never vote for what's right but for whatevever will line your political pockets, solve problems with huge cash inflows and more taxes, ignore scientists, etc.
