Rant #3,570: Over and Over

So, did you do your civic duty and vote?

If you did, you did the right thing, no matter who you voted for and who ends up being the winners.

If you didn't, you did not perform your civic duty and you have absolutely no right to say anything about those who won and those who lost.

We won't fully know who won for another day or so, so I will hold off on saying anything about that.

I think I already said enough by not voting for either of the major candidates.

And you know what the best thing about all of this is?

NO MORE POLITICAL COMMERCIALS!!!!!

These commercials were ubiquitous for the past few weeks.

Some were vicious, and others were, to say the least, completely disgusting.

In New York, we had one commercial that came with a disclaimer, both at the beginning and end of this abomination, and let me tell you--

It takes a lot to repulse me, but this particular one did it, and did it good.

Otherwise, these political commercials ran seemingly non-stop, and I am not really talking about the Harris and Trump TV ads, I am more reflecting on the ads touting local races.

I don't know about where you are, but in New York, many of these commercials--which ran incessantly--were vicious.

So happily, we are now free of them--

And we can go back to complaining about the usual TV ads, which are annoying on their own.

I was alerted yesterday afternoon that on Thursday, I have to cover a webinar for work that will look at Election Day and its various implications.

It should be interesting, I guess.

Whatever happens, the country is divided, and this past Election Day will probably show that the divisions remain.

But Election Day is over, thank goodness, and my family and I were full participants in the voting process.

And the winner is--?

As I am writing this, it appears that Trump is on his way back to the White House.

I will have a bit more to say about this tomorrow, but suffice it to say, I am not that surprised at this outcome.

But as they say, "it ain't over 'til it's over," so I will hold off saying anything more until it is officially over.

And good luck to our new president ... he--or she--is going to need it.
