It's Back!!

So, I'm at the office, and forgot to mail something this morning, which means I have to go outside to the big blue mailbox in front of the building. It's a nice excuse to get a few seconds of fresh air though! :)

I took the long way around the building through the parking lot, to soak in some rays, and that's when I spotted it. A little bumper sticker on the back of an old blue car. John Edwards 2008. :O :O :O No, my heart didn't start pounding harder and my eyes start rolling b/c I dislike this candidate (although my personal opinion is he should be spending time with his wife, not running around the country), but b/c IT'S BACK!!! All the political ickiness that makes so many people mean, and then all the lies you have to wade through, and all the debating and banter back and forth between parties. Not like we don't deal with this on a daily basis (Thanks Media for that), but it's just so IN YOUR FACE during the elections -- well as of late anyways. From having past Presidents call your home to leave a message on your answering machine during dinner, to just as many political pamphlets as credit card offers in the mail, it really has gotten out of hand. I find it funny how two of the things Americans dislike the most (Telemarketers and junk mail) are the main campaign tools used during an election year.

Uhhhhhhh, the stress begins. I wonder how the first Presidents were ever elected without all these campaign fundraisers and yadda yadda. Where have all the simple days gone?
