Voted!

I voted AGAINST every incumbent senator or congressmen going up for reelection. Those idiots couldn't find their head if it wasn't connected to their necks! Too busy trying to make Bush or the other side look bad than doing their damn jobs. I mean, when you start campaigning for the next higher job BEFORE you even get elected to the job you are running for, how can you expect to do your job?

the sound of election season... Japanese style!

For the last few weeks, Anthony and I have been wondering about announcements that seem to go on every day. At first it seemed like the same time every day, 1200 or 1500... then it seemed that it would happen intermittently. Lately it seems like it is all the time. Ohiyogozaimas.... dit dit dit gozaimas... dot dot dot gozaimas... konichiwagozaimas.... every other word gozaimas. We thought it was one of the car dealerships we live near. Finally, driving to work, I had the "fortune" to witness just what was making all the racket. A van outfitted with many megaphones and a lady in white gloves sitting in back with the windows open and a microphone in one hand. And plastered on the side, pictures of what must be a candidate for office. AH.... here it comes again... must be winding down, only been 10 minutes since they drove past last...
