My housemate hates the television. Movies are alright, occasionaly (read: when it's a film she's picked out), but regular old channel flipping is right out the window. So last night I spent the evening glued to my laptop, listening to a stream of the good old Democratic National Convention. That's right, you can get ALL DAY of it "Gavel to Gavel" they say, without commercial interruption over at the
official convention website.
(what do they do while commercials are going on, you ask? Bring out a celebrity to sing an old song with new, Kerry-based lyrics! It's worth tuning in, just to roll your eyes at!)
But that isn't what this post is about. Really, I was struck by how much the next 100 so days will be about "Spreading the Gospel of Kerry." You know, showing pictures of him, telling everyone about his life, all that stuff.
Well, why couldn't we just let our canidates do all that on a blog, then vote for the blog we liked best? That's how they are doing the
"BlogaLog" Dating contest on everyone's favorite sexy site,
Nerve.com. There are so many reality-based-television-show-based-jokes I could make right now....but since I'm not allowed to watch tv, and am instead looking at personal ads on the internet, I just can't make them.
