...Because political cartoons are black and white, that's why!
My apartment is politically savvy. That is to say, we enjoy sitting around, watching a DVR'd debate, screaming things at each other. The back and forth usually lasts about 30 seconds before the "baby killers" and "fascists" come out, at which point we calmly begin listening to the candidates again.
This year, however, has brought us like 2 debates a week. I think they have another 45 scheduled in December (including a Boxing Day Blowout of 5 consecutive debates, and Newt Gingrich doing 3 additional consecutive "Lincoln-Douglass Style" debates with people that don't know they're debating him yet). It's a lot. And the positions really don't change too much - so at this point, we're pretty much just doing dress rehearsals for Rick Perry to remember his entire name and which state he was governor of.
Ugh. Bring it home. I'm thankful for free speech, I guess?
