Politics, shmolitics

So it's pretty much set, President Obama will square off against R2D2, I mean Mitt Romney, in November. I think it's going to be a pretty interesting election. No one really likes Romney, but he's the best shot against Obama, and even loyal supporters of Obama are more than a little tired of waiting on results. It's going to be like an Ugly Sister contest. Whoever wins doesn't really win.

What I do find interesting are the increasingly bizarre things for which Obama gets blamed. Just this morning, I read a Facebook post that somehow blamed him for the breakdown of race relations in America. I'm sorry, you might not like or agree with the guy, but just like I can't blame everything on George W. Bush, the right-wing crazies can't blame everything on Obama. It's just not a sound argument.

At this point, I'm just sick of all the negativity surrounding politics. I've never understood why candidates can't stand on their own merits, rather than pointing out their opponents' flaws. Also, of course they're going to make promises, but can't they ever just keep 1/2 of them? That would be more than we've come to expect. It's just disillusioning.

On another note, I'm still trying find a home for Zoe, our German shepherd. I've had some pretty bad experiences with Alabama shelters so far. Either their phones are disconnected or their website information is old, or they aren't taking animals. What's the point of an animal shelter if you can rarely accept new animals? It's extremely frustrating...so I implore...PLEASE...anyone that wants a sweet, happy dog, let me know....

Ever think about how job searching is like dating? It has further reinforced that I'm glad I don't have to date anymore..Ugh
