well, we are in it now

And what is it?

Election season. For the next two months or so, we will see copious ad's in all mediums, BS in every conceivable corner of our collective consciousness, as well as a general drift away from specific issues into soft and largely undefined clouds of ideological bliss.

Stay focused.

Make a point of attending at least one appearance of a Congressiona or Senatorial candidate and have a question ready, just in case. Embarass them with the basics, try to get a specific answer to a simple question, and if you don't, then follow it up. Illuminate your candidates level of awareness, not the actual question or answer.

At the very least it will be entertaining, at best you might put them into a media spotlight that will cost a good portion of their PAC money to get out of.

Have a nice day.
