Primary Day

    I have been so disgusted with all of the presidential candidates this season that I was not going to vote in the primaries . After much deliberation I decided I was going to actually vote . At 8:40 tonight I voted. The voting center was deserted. Either lots of people voted earlier or not many people voted at all. Maybe the high tech scanner made the voting process so quick there wasn't a chance for there to be a large crowd at the polls. I had forgotten that New York has finally gotten rid of the old circa 1970 voting booths. I am embarrassed to admit that the last time I voted in an election was the last presidential election. That was the inauguration of the the voting scanner. It's so weird to vote in such a high tech fashion. I wonder what the margin of error is . Nothing is foolproof.
     I'm glad I voted but I am not sure that I chose the best candidate. I am not going to tell you who I voted for so don't bother asking. I am not even sure that if the candidate I voted for wins the nomination that I will vote for them. I haven't decided yet. Then again we still do not know who any of the candidates will be for sure ... yet.

Truth is Stranger than Fiction

      The 2016 presidential primaries have been a three ring circus. I am happy to see that someone has been capitalizing on the craze , namely the producers of House of Cards. House of Cards is a series on Netflix about a ruthless couple in politics. The recent season is about a fictionalized 2016 presidential primaries race. There are so many shades of the "real" primaries presented in this series. Some of this is because there is always so much corruption in general. Part of it is  because there is nothing new under the sun. Then again truth is stranger than fiction and the "real" presidential race indeed is strange. Watching House of Cards Season 4 was refreshing because it for once was not as crazy as the current political circus. Hashem help us all.
