Reading Noam Chomsky's "Language and Politics" upon the advice of several friends.  They kept telling me that he is someone who thinks like me.  Turns out that he pretty much does.  Or I guess I should stop being a megalomaniac and admit that I think like him, since he's older and smarter than I am.  Funny how similar two minds can be when I've never even heard or read his views before.  Politically I've just made up my own mind about how things should be as I've lived and thought and learned, being constantly dissatisfied with pretty much everyone in government.  I've always known I was a Socialist at heart.  It's confirmed without a doubt now.

That said, now who should I vote for in this damned looming election????  Ugh.  I've waited too long to take advantage of the easy early voting, unfortunately.  Now I get to go and wait in the freezing cold for an hour or two to help elect (as if my vote really counts....) someone who I don't particularly trust or want in office to begin with.  Ugh.

Oh well.  Enough thinking about the political machine.  It's Halloween!  My favorite holiday!  This year I get to spend it working (joy!) instead of taking my scary little Meathead trick-or-treating. I am a thousand times bummed about this.  It's breaking my heart.
