Pollsters and Pundits

 I truly find the news media outlets to be supremely annoying in election years.  If they're not spelling doom for the democrats, they're spelling doom for the republicans.  It varies day to day, and it's all based on sample polling, which has an awful lot of room for error.

The media in this country needs to stop being so full of themselves that every irrelevant opinion they form makes its way to national coverage.  If its comfusing to me, it is really confusing to people with less experience than me in understanding that some news has become entertainment driven.

This election is important.  And unless you have an IQ of less than 65 points, I think all of us understand how important it is.  The right wants to push their religious based autocratic agenda.  The left is thinking about what's best for everyone here, and not worrying about tax increases. 

Speaking of tax increases, why do millionaires and billionaires want to hang on to all that money?  They can't possibly spend it in a lifetime.  I wish they'd shut up and just pay their fare share instead of buying media outlets and politicans to help them avoid taxes.  If only they'd spend a little of all that money they spend on buying a nation unfit for anyone but themselves to live in, on humanitarian issues. What a utopian society we would have.  But they're all for dystopia.

There is a thing called too much information.  It's sort of like being on a first date and explaining you want six children to make up for the abortions you've had in the past.  Some things are just better left unsaid, unless asked.  I feel this way about CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, VICE and numerous other outlets all pushing for media ratings, not truth.  Shut up.  Present the facts and let the people decide.  Leave your countless opinions out of it.  (Disclaimer - everyone knows Fox is incapable of presenting anything more than right wing propaganda that never comes close to factual truth).

So I've turned off the news.  I've voted early and blue.  I am going out on Tuesday night, having several cocktails and not paying attention to the exit poll interviews, the predictions or the doomsday sayers.  What will be is something I will have to find out Wednesday morning. (Not withstanding the bull$hit that's happened in other elections).

As long as I'm on my soapbox, can we all agree that Arizona is one of the most disgustingly insane  places on Earth?

Hoping for a Blue Tsunami!
