Bad joke

With it being an election year in the USA, politics is a topic discussed around many water coolers in the work place including where I work. The great thing about living in this country is our freedom of speech and as one of my coworkers pointed out the candidates sound like part of a bad joke. It would start something like this "a woman, black man, senior and Mormon walk into a bar..." (well the Mormon wouldn't be in the bar) but you get the drift. I'm sure by now someone has made a political joke about is somewhere, in this country that isn't surprising.

Fortunately there is about nine months left before we vote in the Presidential elections. So there is time to gather information, draw up lists of pros and cons, verify facts from gossip and try to make the best possible choice for President. For now I'm just watching the news and reading the politically inclined comics and editorial pages of the newspapers with amusement. Isn't it great to have such freedom that you can joke about your leaders??
