I'm sorry, but I've had enough bullshit...we are all in this tizzy about President Olympia Snowe, the public option, our useless blood sucking wars, the fact that we have a 9/11 in uninsured healthcare deaths happen every 45 days or so...and OH ALAN GRAYSON HOW WONDERFUL...
Follow my ridiculously short rant below the fold.

I hate writing diaries. I'm too lazy to reference this, post a link to that and pretend I know what I'm talking about: for the most part, I'm as uninformed as the next poor slob, and I got no time to deal with the fine points of politics. I blow hot air about politics as mediocre as the rest of them...but my main, single point is: none of this shit we've seen since St. Ronald Reagan was enthroned would have happened if we did the right thing and has PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS. PERIOD.
I know this issue is way way WAY down on the list of things to fix, but I think it will be the one thing that will fix everything else. We can get rid of the gerrymandered districts, all of the special interests and strive for a true democratic republic.
Yeah, I know, I need to wake up and get with the real politik picture and donate my money to Alan Grayson...whose 125 million dollar fortune (or however much it is...and it IS self-made, so, GOOD!) probably isn't enough to get him re-elected.
I think if we push for finance reform, all the rest will follow nice and neat. Anyway...my piddling two cents on the issue. Back to work.
