Being very busy this weekend, I didn't get a chance to read a lot of posts. 357 of them as of this morning. I marked them as all read since, by my estimate 40% of them were about Kerry / Viet Nam anyway and I'm sick of that story already.

Another healthy 20% was about the RNC which I was sick of 3 months ago. To me, the conventions are a dog and pony show to the faithful. I think that if either party has grand plans for the country they should be available year round, not at the last minute.

Neither politician has a clear direction for America. None of the minor candidates have clear directions for their fantasy lands either. A big party with a lot of paper mache protests is interesting only in the same manner as a 20 car pileup is.

I'm so ready for November 2nd to come and go. I hope Bush wins, but if not, then I hope the right doesn't devolve into what the left is today. I would support Kerry as president but I would be very opposed to many of his positions and would apply pressure to my representatives to keep him in check.

I'm burned out already and there's still over 2 months of mud slinging to go.
