Some recent posts have elicited some Very Interesting and Very Important Comments, from several of Vleeptron's most Faithful Contributers and Readers.
Vleeptron will have Much To Say about these things. No Vleeptroid will be Left Behind.
However, for the past week or so, Vleeptron Galactic Headquarters has been having a few RealityLand Alarums & Diversions, which have disoriented the crap out of everybody and forced me to let things on Vleeptron slide and slow.
We are Happy to report we are now in a position to Wake Up & Smell the Coffee again.
Meanwhile, in case nobody notice, Vleeptron is a (partially) political blog, and provides Earth Human Media with News & Commentary about USA National Affairs, when they're particularly entertaining or horrifying.
There's some kind of Big Election coming up in November 2008, and when it's all over, what usually happens is that there'll be a new President of the United States. (We haven't had a Junta or a Coup yet, or even a postponed election, even for bad weather.)
As the campaign proceeds, you'll be getting all the most important, substantive, significant News & Context from Agence-Vleeptron Presse.
You can get it from Fox or CNN or PBS or Reuters or NBC or CBS or The Associated Press or C-Span or The Jewish Daily Forward or the Daily Worker or The New York Times or al-Jazeera or Xinhua -- but it won't be as good.
That's just the truth. Not trying to brag.
But the first thing A-VP has to do is make a big-ass splashy slick color graphic for our Presidential Campaign Coverage. Here it is, or here's V.1. Things could change as the campaign progresses.
But every time we post about Campaign Politics, we'll smash this graphic in your face, and play a whomp-ass loud mp3 that will make you think of Mother, Apple Pie, the Battle of Gettysburg, cowboys, the Rocky Mountains, football (the AMERICAN kind) and Teddy Roosevelt.

Um, could we just be done with the election already? I'm tired of it, and most of America already knows who they are going to vote for.
And why, for goodness sake, do we not have a national primary day like we have a national general election day? The way things are going, We will be voting in primary elections for the 2012 Presidential elections two weeks after they inaugurate the next one in 2008.
Britain has it right. Six weeks. It's all the campaigning they allow.
Two fricking years of this crap, and no governing gets done.
I also think that if you are going to run for national office, you cannot resign from your current office to do so, and you cannot run for more than one office at a time, and you have to wait until your current term of office is up. So, all these Senators and Representatives that are supposed to be governing, but are actually campaigning...do the job you were elected to do, and either don't run for your current office again, or resign.
/rant.
I am tired of Presidential politics. I'm going to vote for Obama in the primary, and will grit my teeth and vote for Clinton in the general election, but only if I have to. Anything so that Pretty Mitty doesn't get to be president.
Ugh...I'm growing to loathe the election crap-ola myself...
Is it just me, or do things seem to start earlier and earlier? I mean, maybe I was brain dead during the last election season, but it didn't seem like things had gotten so out of hand a full 18 months before the election. Pretty soon the presidential campaign craziness will start the day after the last guy is inaugurated. Or maybe they'd at least wait til after the inaugural ball :)
What I've noticed is that there are so many of these stupid debates...it is going to make it so that when the "real" debates come, then everyone will be so tired that they won't pay attention. The good people at the Daily Show on Comedy Central have pointed this out ad nauseum.
I think without people running around campaigning, I'm pretty sure anyone that has been paying attention (those who pay attention enough to know when to go and vote) knows who these boneheads running for president are...WITHOUT THE NEED FOR THE CANDIDATES TO MAKE OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN APPEARANCES. Screw the whole "forming a presidential exploratory committee" thing. That makes about as much sense to me as when people give each other "promise rings". Yes...we promise to each other that we might some day consider the possibility of becoming engaged to be married. What the heck!
So, yes, Britain at least has some part of it right...hooray Britain...no I'm not moving there. :)
And Romney...meh...he ain't that pretty. I need a guy with a lil more stuffin' :)
