Ready for election season to be over

I am so ready for election season to be over. The other night I was watching TV and there were several commerical (actually almost all of them) were I did not see a single non-political ad. I do find it highly amusing that you get an ad dissing on Ken Buck followed by an ad for Ken Buck.

My problems with the political ads?

1---too many, they are all blur together

2---they are all paranoid built on emotional hot buttons

3---most of the information is lies and/or taken out of context

4---we are screwed no matter who wins

For instance, the economy is still going to be in bad shape, no matter who wins. No matter what political solution is thrown at the economy, the effects are going to take forever to reach people like myself. And some things are next to impossible to do---for instance, Ken Buck talking about getting the federal government out of the student loan business. Good luck with that Ken (by the way, that is the biggest reason I dislike Ken Buck---I am a college student that is only able to go to college because I am taking out fereral student loans).

The good news is that the current election cycle ends in four days. The bad news is that the next electional cycle starts in five days.

Do beautiful people actually use these services?

The other night, I am watching TV. It was relatively late. And a commerical for Quest was shown.

And the gal in the commerical is really hot. (Hey, I am a straight man; I notice things like this.)

And she is talking about how she can't wait to call.

The thought though my mind is why does she need to use this service? She is hot. She can get a date (or at least, I presume that she can).

Actually all the people that you see in these ads are HOT (hey, I am straight and even I notice the guys are reasonably attractive). Not an ugly person in sight.

Which brings up the question: Do beautiful, attractive, successful people actually use these dating services? And if so, what is wrong with them?

I know where I am placing my money. How about you?

(I would like to apologize to my readers. The idea for this was pre-scheduled, but things came up and I did not have time to flesh out my notes. So the post went 'live' during the middle of the night, despite the fact that it was not yet written. Sorry.)
