Fear and Confusion are Mighty Tools

I suppose there's a reason for all these polls, but I gotta' tell ya', along with all these political ads, they're gonna' put me into an anger management program. The worst are Linda McMahon's, who is doing her best here in Connecticut to but a seat in the US Senate. And although hers, at least to me, are some of the worst, they're followed by "untruthininess" of almost all the other Republican candidates' ads. It truly sickens me that the game plan for running for office is to buy votes with millions of dollars spent on advertising. And of course, as per usual, there is the lying, and where possible, cheating. Oooo, I really don't like those guys. The fact that Obama is not ahead by 80 points tells me that that these unscrupulous methods are actually working. I simply can't believe that there are so many ignorant fools out there to believe that Romney, McMahon, and all the other 1%er's could do anything that would not end up being a monkey wrench into the American economy, and this country's standing with the rest of the world.
Anyroad. I can't let Albert watch too much TV at the moment. He doesn't care much for humans in general, but he does believe that a number of these Republican despots represent evil. In capital letters. 
Eddie on the other hand could care less what's on TV, unless there's someone whistling, or there are sirens of any kind. Then he feels obligated to join in, and yell his little lungs out. Ah, to be a carefree bird.
I am fairly whipped at the moment. But I had to get in my comments on my "love" for those Republican...well, I guess I'll have to say, people. But the fact that they are human makes me ashamed.
Enough. I actually got some house cleaning done today, miracle of miracles. And went to a meeting amongst us lowly English tutors, which was at least somewhat productive, and definitely a bit more than somewhat entertaining. And in the process I ran into some good friends of mine whom I have had the privilege of tutoring upon occasion, but more importantly, I have had the good fortune to share many conversations with. I have found that having a good solid social connection to the world, at least for me, makes life so much more worth living. And, sharing in my ESOL friends lives, is the best part of my life. It just might be the best thing I have ever done.
A last note. Wherever you be, this country or any other, never take your freedom, and/or your democracy for granted. Be involved. Ask questions, lots of questions. Don't believe anything you hear or read without facts to back it up. And please. Don't pay attention to polls. You need to do your part. Here, in the US, that means you need to vote if you at all possible. Anything worth having is worth fighting for.
That being said. Look out for each other.
