It Would Takes Weeks to Read All This

I spent six hours today driving to class, teaching and driving home. That was six hours I didn’t look at my text messages or email on my phone. I got home and looked and I had 24 texts and 265 emails all from political operatives. Some asking for money, some asking for advice, all wondering if I had voted, which I had 10 days ago. Some just pointing out the obvious.

I had requests from candidates in far off states I have never been too. Some for candidates in my own state, but for whom I can’t vote for because I don’t live in their district and some from candidates I would never in a million years vote for because they are the most vile human beings who ever walked the earth.

One who shall go unnamed, suggests that a pregnant woman’s life is not her own. If it is between her life and the life of the unborn fetus the fetus is more important and she can just die. To that I suggest if a woman dies due to lack of health care brought on by the government not allowing her medical attention, then the father of that child should die too since he contributed to the death of that woman by impregnating her. Let’s see how many men like that idea. But I digress.

My point of all this is I just don’t know what I am going to do with my time after November 5 when I assume I will not be receiving all these texts and emails. I could fill two or three days if I decided to read all of these things from just one day.

Every once in a while I will read some of the outrageous ones. It’s best to read them out loud and scream the sentences that are in all caps or in red. I liked the olden days when politicians had to pay to print and mail things because at least they took a little more care with the copy when it had to get printed.

I have stopped watching TV so I don’t have any ads, but sadly I still need to look at my texts, what if their is a lost dog in the neighborhood?
