The Election

Hello Nice People,

We had a nice, relaxing Easter.  Mass this morning and then we stopped for breakfast at the local diner.  Hubby,  thats him over there on the couch---->, he likes breakfast out.  Me,  I would just as well go home and have my coffee and watch the Sunday news shows.  I am a political junkie.  I love this election stuff.  Too bad we don't have it all the time.  When it is all over, I am ready to start into it again.  Now Hubby,  he has the Sci-fi channel on.  When he gets up,  I put on Fox News.  Then he  comes back  and puts that stupid Sci-fi on again.  Good thing we have more than one televison.

Now as for elections,  I think they are handled all wrong.  Candidates lie, accuse, exagerate, cover up, pander and get caught.  Then they wiggle out and everybody soon forgets.

Here's the way I think elections should be handled.  Candidates should have to take a test.  They should be tested on

#1    The Economy

#2    World Leaders

#3    Foreign Affairs

#4    World Geography

#5    Foreign Languages

#6    World History

#7    American History

          Now, aren't you sorry you asked.  Oh, sorry, nobody did.

Uh-oh!  Well, Hubby gave up playing cards on the puter for Lent.  I have had free use of  my little machine for 40 days.  Guess what today is?    The end of Lent.    Maybe he'll  forget.  Not a chance!!

Have a nice evening everyone.

  1. I am usually not as invested in elections as I am in this one.  I feel strongly about this election and try hard not to publicly voice my opinions.  You know what they say about discussing politics or religion...lol.  Anyway, I am emailing you a couple of Maxine's that you reminded me of in your entry.
    Hugs, Joyce

  3. I'm so glad John has no interest in the computer. He does like you have a lot of interest in politics. Not me, I hate the mud slinging. Paula
