This is going to be a politics post. Excuse me for that. Perhaps slapping some bizarre nude pic up here at the top will somehow make up for it, so here ‘ya go:

Now, about the politics:
Have you been paying attention to the whole debt-ceiling thing?
It was like a season of a mediocre TV series. The tension was fake. The characters were empty and predictable. Everyone knew how the season would end.
But of course the season finale yesterday was still dramatic: The House of Representatives decided, at the last minute and at Obama’s urging, to not impose an immediate financial catastrophe on the world.
America gets to live to borrow borrow borrow another day… YAY!
Gabrielle Giffords, whom you might remember from last season as “the Congresswoman who was shot in the head in Tuscon”, came back to work for the first time to cast her vote. As her presence became known, there was a long round of thunderous applause, just like Chancellor Palpatine got after he was disfigured by Samuel L. Jackson in Star Wars III.
There is an ominous development: a Super Congress has been created to make sure that the small players in the legislative business– mostly the Tea Party “terrorists”– don’t get in the way of the big fish anymore. We can’t have those annoying dweebs obstructing the will of the mighty Establishment, can we?
So I reluctantly admit that the finale was somewhat interesting. But the season overall was nonetheless mediocre; and the series as a whole is booooooring.
Maybe they could work the cast of Seinfeld into the storyline for next season? That would be an improvement, don’t you think?
