I now care a little bit about the election. I didn’t yesterday. I didn’t last week. And I sure has hell didn’t care two years ago when all this election coverage started. There is no purpose to debates 18 months before the election, damn it! States, your disgusting race to have the first primary does nothing but make me hate you and your vanity. Stop it. XM, there is no need for an entire freaking channel covering this election, particularly this far away from the actual election. Stop it. CNN, there is a reason that a Google search for “election coverage” brings up the page for your 2004 coverage long before showing a link to your 2008 coverage. There is a reason that the Economist’s current “Week in Politics” only mentions the US election as its second to last item, and even then with a note that the process “got under way” this week. There is a reason these elections only happen every four years. I look forward to when this one is over, so that the next one can start a day after the inauguration. |
