Go figure

So. Election day voters, who should have known that Ted Stevens had seven felony convictions under his belt, were more likely to vote for him than early and absentee voters. I guess his bullshit denial that he had been convicted of anything (pending appeal) worked.

Now I understand how Alaska could elect Sarah Palin. It probably is better for one's sanity to think of politics as entertainment. Not however better for one's government...

What is it about their motorized, climate-controlled 4WD sofas that makes people want to run over everything? I'm not opposed to fun, even fun whose appeal I don't understand, but why do we allow them to destroy what we hold in common for our descendants?
