Cesspit

American election politics is a cesspit.
We know this.
What frustrates me is that the cesspit is dominating the election. Which is the point, of course.
In some sense, the election could be decided by whether swing voters believe Kerry won his purple hearts in Vietnam fraudulently, or Bush concealed his failure to meet his national guard obligations. In frikkin’ Vietnam.
Yep, this sure is the most important issue on the US plate today.

Shot around on an outside hoop in glorious sunshine yesterday. Damn, that felt good.
