Hi, my name is Frankie. I'm a political junkie.
This is where you are supposed to applaud my courage at making such an embarrassing statement in a public way.
During the Canadian election, I made an attempt to join P-Narc Anon. I failed. When a junkie wants to get away from the monkey on his back, he packs his truck full of food, drives to a cabin in the woods, and sweats on the floor for weeks. When a political junkie wants to do a similar thing, he runs to China. With media blackouts and edited news, it should be easier for him to break from the pack, get away from all his bad influences and walk the straight and narrow.
You can imagine my disappointment then, when I found that even in China I can mainline politics with Live Streaming Coverage of Decision 2008!
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so here goes.
When Bush and his cronies stole the 2000 election, and made the USA look like a backwards Central American Tin Pot Republic, I winced. When he won the election in '04 I cried "Stolckhom Syndrome". I think today, we'll be able to forget all of that. With what's looking like record turn-outs at the poles, a little thing called Democracy is coming to the USA.
The MSNBC stream I have going is wreaking havoc on my computer, and making it virtually impossible to write, so I'll have to end this now. Here's hoping for a smooth election for our cousins to the south, and here's hoping that if McCain wins, he can impeach his Vice President.

I'm with you all the way Frank. Fortunately, Obama has it. It's my opinion that McCain lost this the moment he picked Sarah Palin as a running mate. Now there's dubya in drag.
I sympathize Frankie, since I too am a political junkie - but I don't even try to fight it! I OD'd on everything Obama until he got elected (and laughed my butt off at Ms. Palin/Tina Fey). Now I'm in the U.S. during inauguration time and am looking forward to another non-stop love-in. Can't wait!!!
Stay cool and keep blogging!
