And sad part is it still gets them elected.

Those who pursue a career in political life seem to fit the same mold – pompous, power-crazed anal-retentives whose first and last thought is how this job – which they now regard as a birth-right instead of a gift – can benefit them.

But then an election approaches and suddenly they’re slapping on make-up and swallowing slimquick to look good for the cameras so they can persuade the same people who gave them the post to extend that rather lucrative billet…then be soundly ignored until next time.

The only time a politician ever tells people the truth is when they call their opponent a liar. Watch the upcoming primaries and see just how many times that proves true….

Slowly at first but with increasing fervor your television will become clogged with pallid-skinned politicians professing their undying love for the country they’ve ruined, and assuring us they plan to make everything rosy – As soon as you give them their jobs back.

Frankly, I’m not convinced. You’d think people who spent this time time on TV would at least learn how to remove dark circles. One politician, who shall be nameless, represents the mid-west, works in D.C….yet flaunts a year-round tan that belongs in the Caribbean.

If these people were bright enough to run this nation they‘d get employment for life. As it stands they’ll all be back on your screen soon, promising to do everything they can to fix the snags they could have fixed in their last term if they even knew how.

The guys at Netflix are going to love the next 10-12 months. Personally I rather dread it…

But this sudden need to improve has also brought a solution. You can now buy antique or reproduction home furnishings to suit every conceivable taste. From art-deco to door hinges it’s all out there and ready to choose.

If your home’s feeling a bit stale, new décor is a great way to enhance it. Think it over – it’s more fun than you think…

Oh, and it also plays games.

The one thing that puts people off is the price – these drool-making gadgets can sell for over $300, and that’s too rich for all but the most addicted of gamers. But there are sites where you can find a playstation 3 – and all the games you could want – on sale at a more sensible price.

Start at that link and see how you feel…

But sometimes it can be;

A lot of people succumbed to the hype and dropped half their life savings on a Hi-Def TV. But one part of the deal that so many scrimp on are good tv stands. And that’s never good.

If you have a $1500 TV you don’t leave it at risk on a shelf. Choosing a stand can be tricky, it’s true – but it’s better than cleaning up glass. That link is one source for stands, but I’ll leave it to you to decide…

Thousands of people now know the benefits of such deep irrigation and practice this safe and healthy way to remove life’s less welcome residue on a regular basis. But which of the wide range of products gives the best colon cleanse?

That’s an important answer to find, because most cleaners are not cheap and regular use can also clean out your wallet. Luckily, some kind folk have now done the research and there’s plenty of advice to be had if you know where to look.

We found a link to one option, but you make the call…

Without a good hotel reservation new york is a nightmare. 47-million people visit that vibrant metropolis in an average year and the range of hotels and discounts would boggle the mind. If you’re not planning a trip soon, you should. But get it professionally done so you can truly relax.

And those who engage in,  or enable this mass-market crime still can’t work out why their precious rating just keep going down.

We spend $100′s on TV’s and even more on nice mounts – and you can’t help but wonder why you even tune in?? Someone should broadcast 24/7 goldfish – at least they’ve got some skills.

If you upgraded your TV’s for the joys of HD…and you now wonder why, all is not lost. Check that link and pick some nice stands for your sets.

Then at least one thing on your TV will have been worth your time.

If you are part of this passion, you need people behind you who share in that dream. People who understand that candles and, of course, candle sconces can add just the right touch to almost any room. And CandlelightDesigns are just such a crowd.  If you need a new way to add peace to a room, these are your people, so drop by and see..

The votes are all counted, the bunting is gone and this glorious country is about to traverse yet another frontier as the first Western power to elect as their leader a man who is black. The intellectual eloquence embodied in this act is something of which you should all be boundlessly proud.

I only wish I could say the same for Prop. 8.

In a matter of weeks one man’s elevation to President of a country will set a lustrous precedent for the entire world. Yet the cognitive tolerance that enabled this feat has left over 10,000 people in a legal abyss. With Prop. 8′s demise, Massachusetts and Connecticut are the only states left where people who find love in a different way have the freedom and dignity to do as they please. The heartbreak this is causing must be beyond comprehension.

And not content with this selfish denial of personal choice the arrogant, judgmental bigots who invented Prop 8 are now preparing Court actions to destroy all the marriages that inspired their divisive crusade. The ACLU and several Gay Rights groups are engaged in defense but the fight could be hard, and the results a disaster. The voting is over and the battle is won…And still their opponents can’t say ‘Enough!’

With foreclosures in thousands, a debt in the trillions and the economy cratering worse by the day, you’d think sentient, seemingly rational people could find something better to do with their time.
