silly season

the election season always brings out both the best and worst from politicians, their supporters and all the talking heads analyzing it. it always reminds me of that monty python sketch, "election night special" featuring the results between the sensible party and the silly party.


and the state of new york is certainly getting their fill of entertainment this fall with the cast of characters running for governor. one of them is jimmy mcmillan representing the "rent is 2 damn high" party.

another is kristin davis, a former madam, representing the anti-prohibition party. she states as her qualifications that she is the only candidate that can manage all the "whores" in the legislature.

on the one hand its good to see that any citizen can turn in the paperwork and run for office. on the other hand, when you have a debate and are required to give equal time to every group, it seems, well...just plain silly sometimes.
