Latter-Day Republicans vs. the Church of Oprah - New York Times
You know things like this bother me - a lot!
The idea that we could vote for a candidate based on some 'do-gooder' TV matron just strikes a sour chord with me (note I said chord not note).
What has happened to us as a nation? As a society? Can we not think for ourselves? Do we have to be 'spoon-fed' our opinions, our very actions?? It would seem that our ability to make judicious decisions is reduced to sound bites and 'my god is better than your god' conversations.
WTF?
I think we should clean house and start over personally but whose going to march in to Congress and the Senate and fire everyone. And who is going to step up to the plate and take the jobs? It's like some sort of weird computer programming game - garbage in, garbage out....sometimes I get jealous thinking about how we could have just remained a holding for Great Britain. Sure, we've done some amazing things in this country but somehow we keep falling short. Wasn't' there a writer (I want to say Phillip K. Dick) who had a story where holding office was actually determined by a lottery....I mean let's face it, who really WANTS to be president?
Do you?

I think you're referring to "Solar Lottery" by Philip K Dick.

Hmmm... sounds interesting. I'll have to look into this for something else to "read". Hell, I might even use a paper version of these things called "Books". (*grin*)
