Is anybody else out there glad these elections are over?
I won’t get in to my politics here on this blog - that’s not what this blog is about. But - what I will say without a doubt is that I am really glad this election is over!
We’ve been inundated for well over two years with political speeches, political ads, political phone calls, and political flyers. I live in a battleground state - so - for the last three weeks I’ve been receiving flyers in my mailbox every day that were about an inch thick!
One of my kids registered for a party opposite of mine. So - we’ve been receiving campaign mail and phone calls from both sides! OMFG! The robo-calls were getting ridiculous! It’s a good think I have caller ID. While I never answered them personally, the fact is - they still went to my answering machine. I was deleting at least 3 - 4 daily!
Who’s bright idea was it to make these elections last so frakkin’ long? Does it bother anybody else that those Senators were getting paid by we taxpayers for the past two years even though they weren’t at work? I know if I didn’t go to work for two years - I certainly wouldn’t get paid. In fact - I wouldn’t even have a job two years later!
I’ve got a question - what happens with Biden’s seat? He was re-elected for another term in the Senate in Delaware. Surely, he can’t be both a Senator and a Vice President can he?
Oh - BTW - If you follow my other blog - you will know that I’ve been invited by Matt Urden of Meltwater. Torrents. Meanderings. Delta to join him and other bloggers in a new endeavor - Inside Government . I think I’ll be answering my own question really soon! 
The purpose of that blog is to provide answers to the many questions that everyone has about the way our American government and politics work. I’m really excited about joining that great team over there. Go check it out and see who the other great bloggers are over there.
