Politics

In the upheaval of the American election I found this gem from Sam Wylie - here. Nothing to do with the mid terms but a fantastic commentary of how politics produces the stuff that it does ;-)

"My wife and I gave money to the Gore campaign in 2000. We were living in Hanover, New Hampshire (the ‘live free or die’ state). Because New Hampshire has the first primary all the campaigns go through Hanover and we got to see all the main candidates. At the end of the primaries it was down to just four: On the Democrat side Bill Bradley and Al Gore and on the Republican side John McCain and George Bush. It was evident that three of those candidates were men of real statue and the other should have been running a gas station somewhere. No need to mention which one was not the like the others".

And as they say the rest is history. Hilarious.
