The article was about how since Carter each president has passed what they call "midnight rules" and is about the rules that the Bush administration is trying to pass. I thought the examples they give in the article were a bit bothersome, esp the one about the lead emmissions.

This does not matter at all.
http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/11/15/hot-seat-gender-in-the-administration/?icid=100214839x1212979988x1200876967
I absolutely hate the media. Who the hell cares what gender the members are that Obama picks for his administration? As long as they do their job it doesnt matter at all. I cant stand that the media always has to put a spin on everything. Just how when Obama joked about getting a dog the news went into this huge coverage of what kind of dog he was going to get. WHO CARES!? Knowing what kind of dog Obama and his family have while they are in the white house have no effect on my life whatsoever. I just wish the news would just cover stories that matter, not this bs. Just one persons opinion though.

Presidential Election
Okay I am apologizing ahead of time if this gets to political, but I guess that's what a blog is here for. But need to express some frustration.
So is it just me or is there anyone else that can not wait until this election ends on Tuesday? I feel like this has been the longest election process ever. I am not trying to diminish its importance in any way, but I am just so tired of hearing about it. This election is everywhere I look, TV, Internet, and the newspaper. I could guarantee that someone couldn't go an entire day without hearing about it.
Another thing I hate about what is going on is all the accusations that are coming out of these last few days. All the nasty rumors and people pointing fingers. One of the most frustrating things ever in my opinion is just hearing someone who is completely ignorant to this entire election and the candidates talk about one or the other. I heard some lady the other day say that if Obama wins the election she is afraid that he is going to "put a turban on and let terrorists take over the country." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? In no way am I trying to express any political opinion, but seriously, who says that?
I guess I just don't understand how people can go through this election process without knowing the candidates or how someone could support one party or the other without knowing anything. Either way this is an extremely important election. Whether we like it or not we will have to deal with one of these candidates for at least 4 years. Which leads me to my next point of how tired I am of people telling me how important it is to vote.
Yes, I have already voted (Absentee Ballot), but since our government is a democracy WE have that choice of whether to vote or not. Although if we don't vote we are not truly participating in our duties as citizens. So I will end by not asking anyone to go vote, but I am asking that you do what it is you want. Because whether you choose to vote or not, in 2 days, we will know who the next president of the United States will be.
