Three twenty two in the AM here in Texas, USA. Hi I'm Bob, and I'm an alcoholic. Wait, wrong forum. So...how about this election bullshit? That's fun. Hey, did you all know that today is the anniversary of the World War 1 armistice in 1917? I just remembered that. Ok...let's see what to put in this author's log thingy. Ok, I'll rant about the freakin' STRESS I've been under lately with school and whatnot. I've been under a lot of freakin' STRESS lately at school and whatnot. Well, that didn't take long. Ummmm...

New paragraphs are good. Geeeeez this election nonsense. You European types must be laughing your asses off at us stupid Yankee bastards. And we're the country that sends election monitors to other countries because of suspected fraud. Well that's probably over. Heck, could someone please send us some election monitors?? We need them badly. Sheeeeez...it's gotten to such a point that even the candidate I voted for, a virtually unknown independent candidate by the name of David McReynolds (the Socialist Party's candidate--yes we DO have one of those here, barely), who received only about 4,000 votes nationwide, has had an effect on the outcome in Florida. But you know what the good thing about this whole mess is; it's brought to light every single problem with the American political system, from the outdated and crappy "electoral college" thing, to the discrepancy in methods of voting, ballot types etc, both of which can be solved very easily in a way in which nobody will be willing to consider: abolish/curb significantly the power of individual states in matters of elections. Instead of having 50 separate races for President, which we have now, we should have ONE national race in which everyone has one vote. I would also throw something in there about instituting proportional representation, but that's for another time. Anyway, I'm ranting. I should stop. I have lots of other thoughts in my head about lots of other things, but many of them have to do with goats or cheese sticks, and that's just not very interesting.
