Political Science

People are out voting. And a bunch of them are here. At my work. In two separate rooms. And the most annoying part of this is that people coming to vote have been parking in my employee spot. I'm unable to get there because of these idiots. I may have keyed the first car that was there just a bit, but if I did it was totally on accident. As is the dent that my van door may have put in the little Scion. Because not only did they park in an employee spot, but they were over the line just a bit.

I used to work with the public for a long time, and one of the many things I learned was people are stupid. In general, they're not smart. To paraphrase Agent K in Men in Black, a person is smart, but people are dumb. And judging by the way the polls are shaping up, I'd have to agree.

I'm extremely happy that today is election day because now I won't have to be bothered by all these people campaigning for my vote. I've known what I'm voting for quite some time now and want the world to go back to normal. It looks like Obama will probably win. Which I'm fine with, I've resigned myself to that outcome. My question now is, what will all the problems be blamed on in a couple years. He's not going to fix everything, and already has backed off his previous stances on Iraq. I'm not saying that McCain would fix everything, but since he's a republican, everyone would still be able to say, "See, that's why we shouldn't have voted for him." But with the chosen one coming into office. The blame stops at him. I'm already noticing a lack of satire pointed at him, when I see SNL they go after McCain, Palin, and Biden, but they leave Obama alone. This may be because Fred Armison does a crappy impression, but still. And where will the Daily Show go now? They're losing their cash cow in W. and will now have to find something to say about Obama. It should be an interesting four years. And for the sake of our nation, I hope he can do all the things he says he can. But I seriously doubt it.

And that's about as political as this blog will ever get.
