Eight More Days

Okay, at least eight more days. If it’s like the last time, we might be in for weeks more – but at least the advertising bonanza ought to be over in eight more days. I’m sure they will start up again in the next year or so, as then we’ll only have three more years to make our next decision, but any break is a welcome one.

I have to say that I agree with Les – something I do from time to time, but not always. In this case, I couldn’t agree more: Just get it over with already. The mailbox is full of advertisements. Even the regular commercials on TV are worth watching simply because they are not political advertisements.

However, I have no idea who – or even which party – is doing more of the advertising because I don’t pay attention to the stuff in the mail (it goes straight to the recycle bin). I don’t pay (much) attention to the stuff on TV. I do watch for entertainment from time to time.

For instance, Beverly Perdue is running for vice governor or assistant governor or lieutenant governor or something like that. Why don’t politicians vote themselves better titles? Anyway. Ms. Perdue plays on her name and has people dancing around like chickens. I have absolutely no idea what issue that represents, if she is in any way related to the Perdue organization or why I’d vote for her because of it, but it’s pretty funny. Maybe it will just help with name recognition.
