Jumping the gun...

I'd like to apologize to Chris Dodd. He seems like a good guy, and is highly preferable to Hillary, Obama, Giuliani, McCain, that other guy (I can't remember his name, the guy Ann Coulter called a fag), or the other media unmentionables. Here's the thing, though - I didn't even know Ron Paul was running.

I'm sorry, Chris. I really like the issues you've brought up, but Ron Paul talks about the real issues plaguing America, like the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (A subsidiary of the Bank of England), private interests trying to subvert the sovereignty of the individual, and protection of privacy and property. He's a Republican, but he ran as a Libertarian once. I can't really tell the difference between Republican and Democrat, anyway, and I'm not sure what Libertarian means. I'm not interested in political parties. What's the difference between a one party system and a two party system? The illusion of choice, and maybe which pocket they're going to pick.

What I'd like to know, though, is why didn't I know Ron Paul was running? I pore over news reports from all over the world, analyzing everything I can assimilate. I can't recall hearing or reading the name Ron Paul connected with the Presidential race. It may, admittedly, just be me. I've been paying more attention to my Uncle Chuck, who just moved to the mountains of New Mexico with an AK-47, than I have to the circus maximus that presidential campaigning has become.

"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?"

In an effort to be balanced, I've put a link to the 2008 Presidential candidates and political party references over to your right, both from Wikipedia.

I'm going to have to take a day or so off from ranting. I'll be getting my hands dirty today. I have to replace the head-gasket and thermostat on my truck. I should replace the water-pump and fan-clutch, too, but those are going to have to wait for my next paycheck.
