A big hello from the small basement

Wahay!
My first blog. i'm not actually gonnna give the link to anyone till i've reached 3/4 blogs. That way they'll know what kinda blog it will be and actually check it again and again. People make a mistake of trying to promote it when its one two day old but you need to do it a few weeks before there's anything of any decent substance. plus by then you know if your gonna stick at it. chances are no one will ever read this.

So democracy. Dont know about you guys but when i think of that i think America. probably the most shady country in the world where the word conspiracy has enough followers to. But in all honesty I think alot of people are jealous of America. Not everything but somethings.

The elections. In the uk we have a general election and it lasts two weeks including the promo. In the US its goin past a year!! ok it feels like it with all the announcing of the candidates - Obama announced his in 02/2007!
But its all great. the HUGE hype that surrounds it is amazing. Everyone picks on every little word, action, movement the candidates make.

Like today Sarah Palin's personal Yahoo email was hacked, which is a shame partially cause it does show how ill-prepared she was for this, how "normal" she was leading her life. Never would you expect Joe Biden or any other senior candidate to use a Yahoo email for business and personal reasons. Also, if they did, the password would've been alot more difficult to hack than just the postcode of Palin's home address. She's been so inadquetly prepared for the hype and the responsibility - its showing how out of depth she is.

They can prepare her for as many lightweight interviews possible but even then last week she failed to show what the bush doctrine was. Gibson had to explain it to her. No doubt her first of many deer-infront-of-headlights moment with many more to come. I'm sure she'll make a great Republican one day, but this, now, is bordering on cruelty. All her family affairs scrutinised to such a degree that they're blatantly not ready. The daughter that was pregnant and is now "marrying" the fella. COME ON WHY ISNT ANYONE CRYING FORCED MARRIAGE OUT?!

I still cant understand the judgement of asking Palin to be the number 2. It clearly wasnt just to get the disenchanted Hillary supporters to come over. The only thing I can maybe consider is maybe McCain thought she'll be scandal free, a fresh face something new.

Train wreck waiting to happen i think.
