Thinking it over

After George W. Bush was elected as president of the U.S. for the first and second time, my stomach clenched with impending doom. Was my future at stake? And if so, how badly? I will never understand how someone who can't even control his own windpipe (the choking on pretzel incident, remember that?)--let alone speak correctly--became president of the country I am sometimes proud to call my home. We've dealt with the shame for seven years and despite current attempts to pass a bill through Congress to begin impeaching this modern day Mussolini, we'll be stuck with him for another 15 months. Oh bother!

In the mean time, I get to sit here, twiddling my thumbs as one political issue after another comes into play. The issues we have to deal with gets worse every year. From 9/11 to the Blackwater scandal, everything starts and ends like a dramatic Shakespeare play. Is it fair the general American population has to suffer through this? No, of course not. That's why I, being the very smart individual that I am, left the country. I'm living in the UK for a year in order to escape the politics of America. But you know what? The political problems followed me here. No matter how hard I try to shake them off my leg, they just won't let go.

In order to deal with the drama, I've decided to start this blog. Random Myspace blogs ranting about the government is no longer the way to go. I'm an MA student in Journalism and I have to take this seriously now. I just hope I will do my fellow Democrats proud with my attempts to analyze and discuss any serious political issues at hand.

Here's to another long 15 months of Bush's presidency, the scandals still waiting to befall us, and the presidential race of 2008! CHEERS! *clink*
