newmoonstarI never like to talk about politics on LJ, but I'm just so miffed by the idiocy of the media over the mid-term elections I just have to rant. Everywhere you look they're all squaking about 'the Republicans will win, blah blah blah' on the premise that everyone must hate the Democrats because they haven't managed to fix in only two years all the problems the Republicans took eight years to make in the first place. Is this not the stupidest, most flawed logic ever? Anybody with half a brain obviously does not agree with that analysis, and anybody who doesn't have half a brain will be duped into believeing it, thereby unfairly creating the edge for the Rebublicans that you say is already there. So either way, stop saying it, and then pretending you're just innocent, impartial media reporting the truth. Arg!!!! I hate politics. I hate political ads. Just re-elect Feingold for the love of god, because he's the only honest politician in the history of ever, and has at least proved he knows what he's doing, and if we the people of Wisconsin are stupid enough to let that go, then maybe we just deserve to rot in hell with the Republicans. Thank you very much. ARG!!!!
Okay, now I've got THAT out of my system...On to fun things! About the rest of my Milwaukee trip, the Charles Allis Museum was also most awesome. Even though it's an Edwardian house and therefore architecturally much more boring than a Victorian house (in my opinion!), it was stuffed full with amazing art and antiques. The ancient Greek artifacts were just spine tingling, to see a water jug that someone had used thousands of years ago still in one piece(!). And there was a Duncan Phyfe table and chairs and sofa which were very drool-worthy, and I was more drawn to those than all the paintings! Even the Gainsborough landscape, I really only care about his portraits! (Can you tell I'm a costumer? Teehee.)
So that was a fun adventure, and I hope I'll get to see more museums and historic houses next year! This was definitely my last trip till spring, because now it's getting too cold! Seriously, where is the hot chocolate and electric blanket?? Brrr! I need to move to a warmer climate!!
