   Fausta has had it [1]up to here with politics and the election
   process:

     You can say that, at least for today, I'm "up to here" with all the
     bs.

     Look at it: The 2-year long Presidential campaign is a thudding
     bore. No matter the facts, the media is intent on bringing about
     Obamatopia (Ed came up with Obamatopia). Hillary's not throwing the
     towel until there's blood on the Convention floor. McCain's
     embraced global warming. Worst yet, there's an excruciating five
     and a half more months of this stuff to endure, and then the
     politicians will start on the 2012 campaign.

     Peachy, isn't it? Just thinking about it makes you warm all over,
     doesn't it?

   Jon Stewart calls this media circus [2]"the Long, Flat, Seemingly
   Endless Bataan Death March To The White House." Of course, that
   doesn't stop him from talking about it every night.

   Other countries have election processes that last about a month. Our
   elections are a neverending series, a play that never closes, a black
   hole of a non-event, a 700 pound media hog that can never get enough
   rubber chicken and corn dogs.

   If we ignore this media circus, can we make it go away?
