Pure non sarcastic boredom

 Its currently 10:07 pm. I have a dam english midterm at 10 am tomorrow morning, and as dumb as a it sounds i have no idea what it is on. I know i have to analyze some poetry. However, i would rather do a research paper or some drawn out math problems than do poetry. I have nothing against it, i just cant comprehend it. Guess thats the laziness of the brain. Guess i better do good on the rest of the class or i could always take the dreaded " W ". i told myself i wouldn't drop any classes this semester, however i think i may have lied to myself. 

Anyways i cant wait to see who our next president is going to be. I thought i was excited for the LSU- Bama game, but im truly excited to see our next president. I think this is definently one of the biggest elections of our time. If Barack is elected, he will be our first black president. This will make some happy while probably making an equal amount furious. As much as we speak about how racism is dead, i believe it is more alive than ever. TONS of people will not vote for Obama because of his skin color and his religious beliefs. Due note last time i checked we were the " LAND OF THE FREE " most Americans tend to forget this. I wont judge him because of his color or beliefs, i wont vote for him mainly because i dont think he is experienced enough to be our Commander and Chief. I mean come on America he is serving his first term in the U.S. senate. Maybe im wrong, i mean maybe knowledge and prior political experience is no longer a requirement to run a country. I personally like the McCain/Palin   ballot. McCain was first introduced into politics while he was still in the Navy. In 1982 however he held his first seat in office to the House of Representatives. Obama was still in college and John McCain was already holding a national spot in politics. 

I dont know, i mean maybe Obama is way more suited for the job than i know, very possible that im worng. I do believe he can relate " Speak " to the public better than McCain does. Barack seems to have a better way of communicating with Main Street while McCain sits heavily on Wall Street and seems to have a little more difficult of a time putting his words into laminds   terms for the random Joe Blow to understand.  Anyways im not going to babble on anymore on this topic i will write tomorrow about how bad my poetry test went. haha

are people as knowledgeable as they pretend to be

Lately all you ever hear about is politics. How one candidate is WAAAAY more qualified than the other. how George Bush just ran us into the ground. How Sarah Palin is a woman and needs to stay in Alaska, and How Barack is Muslim. All this non-sense. My question though is how much do people really know about their candidate of choice? The vast majority of America including myself doesn't know as much about politics as we pretend to. Most liberals will ride Barack Obama's coat tail because he is all about " Change " and the republican will ride McCain's because he is a war veteran with years and years of political experience. I want to know how the general public can make all these accusations about how one president is so much better than the other one, when if you ask half of them they cant tell you what state their candidate is from, where he was born, how long hes been in politics or anything. Youtube is currently full of videos by people about how Sarah Palin is EXTREMELY unqulified to be our vice president. They may be correct, they may be dead wrong. But before shooting off a 5 minute video look at the other side of the fence, is Joe Biden the man to take the vice presidency? Is he that much more qualified? One must answer these questions before making all these assertions about bad one candidate will be over the next. However i have to go to bed now so i will continue this little story in the morning

whos the better president.

these are statistics that are for the most part political and not personal achievements or faults. I will add daily.
