The above is a quote from the one, the only, Dave Koltash. I felt that it needed to be preserved for all eternity on the internets. And don't worry, it actually wasn't anything bad, just odd to walk past the room and hear that come from his mouth.
Well, the elections happened (and Brittney broke up…is it sad I didn't know she was married, and by extension didn't know to Justin Federline? Although I do like that they are calling him Fed Ex), and I'm mostly happy. I didn't follow them as much as I should have, but I researched all the things I voted for, just not the other races, I left that to the newscasters. By the way, Comedy Central's coverage was very good, and a lot of fun (and the cheering for Pa was awesome!).
The best part is of course that the campaign ads are done. While there may be a few thank you ads in the weeks to come, it's over! Now, to all the republicans, democrats and third parties:
Republicans: If you voted, you can complain…when things happen. Until then, calm down. You were in power for how long, twelve years or something like that (congress, not even looking at all the Bush years), if you wanted some agenda pushed, that would have been a good time, and besides you still have a month or two. Oh wait, congressmen (all) don't work that much, that's right. Also, just because democrats think differently than you do, does not mean that they are stupid, illiterate or the reason for all the worlds problems, nor does wanting to end a violent conflict mean they do not support the troops. There has been an alarming increase of facebook groups dedicated to hating the left side of politics, and it's very disheartening to see. Welcome to the democratic process, people vote for what they want. If you don't want to accept that fact, please find yourself a nice dictatorship to live in.
Democrats: If you voted, you can complain. Also, just because republicans think differently than you do, does not mean that they are stupid, illiterate or the reason for all the worlds problems, nor does wanting to end a violent conflict mean they do not support the troops (yes, there are some republicans who think the war should end, both sides should take note of that). Oh yeah, and don't screw it up, things are going to change again in two years anyway.
Third Parties/Independants: If you voted, you can complain. And congratulations on having two seats in the Senate! Hopefully that will be a trend that continues. Sit back and enjoy the two big parties arguing about stuff, and just think what it would be like to be in a small European country with twenty-some major parties!
Other than that, I just got back from my first Commissioner's staff meeting, which was fun. I'm still a bit apprehensive, but I'm excited at the same time. We'll see how things go, I'll keep everyone posted.
In the meantime, I'm off to SVC to help with Koinonia 4 this weekend, have a good one everybody!
