A Triumph for Democracy.

So we went to vote yesterday, but neither of us had any idea of whom we wanted to vote for or why. Seriously. I really do try to make some attempt to inform myself about the issues and who and what is on the ballot, but frankly, this year I was even more clueless than usual. I'm not sure how to remedy this. It's probably more important that I pay attention to the local elections than the presidential ones but guess which ones get the most coverage. I have no clue who is running against whom or why and I just ended up voting for the Incumbent if I hadn't heard anything bad about them and Republican otherwise. I wish there were some way to be better informed, though. I don't pay any attention to what the candidates send me in the mail because everyone sends the same things- glossy brochures with the candidates smiling inoffensively and they say things like "Ben Dover is for Families" "Ben Dover puts Georgians first." Sigh. Not exactly a triumph of Democracy, and then- Trey thought Incumbent meant some new sort of party and then got confused when I explained to him what it meant. If they're already in office, why do they have to do this again? he asked.

Also both of us have been sick. I think soon I will write about Tacky behaviour; so if you, my readers, (this means Ed) can come up with good instances of tacky behaviour then we will put them in our blog.
