Well the elections are finally over and we no longer have to listen to hour upon hour of mindless drivel spewing from the television, radio, and of course our friends. The typical election information is just so biased and obviously geared towards those who can afford to cover every last media outlet with flyers and lies it’s almost sickening. Not to mention the average American votes strictly on the information they get from these media outlets and never even bother to research what their candidate is actually about. Anyways I am just sick of it, and not stupid enough to go around gloating that the democrats won congress because we all know nothing is going to change anyways. In the hopes of raising some hackles I thought I would show a few websites ( some slightly dated ) that are bound to piss of the politicians and local CNN flunkies around your office, enjoy.

So you thought you were left huh, well take a gander at this. A very in depth and well written documented article on the inherit reasons to organize and forget voting altogether. This is quite unheard of in almost all circles of American society, but really does voting ever change anything? I surely don’t think so. Make sure you read it entirely and get some juicy quotes from it so you can spout off around work or the bar how voting is a sham! Put some democrats and republicans right in there place when they tell you that you don’t have the right to complain.

If you must take part in the big sham, at least you should know what you are talking about and don’t just spew the mindless vomit the fox news feeds you. This website probably has some hidden agenda because it was put together by AARP. Despite that it does have a full database of who all the candidates are and the links to their websites. It is a good resource if you are looking to see what a candidate actually voted on and where he or she might vote in coming years now that the election is over.

While not being totally on the cutting edge of politics, this website does offer quite a few insights and compelling articles on important issues. Most are left leaning, but still have forward leaning progressive ( that’s the word of the year ) ideas for change. Get information on Iraq, media and election reform all in a fairly tight and concise blog style format. One of my favorite things about this site is the large amount of quality links on most of the pages, these can lead to some other great sites and some real good discussion topics when you have had to many shots of Jack.

I don’t normally like to link just a single article and would rather send you to a somewhat decent resource of material, but with this one I just couldn’t help it. Every wonder why you work? Or better yet why you shouldn’t work? I don’t care if you answered no to the previous questions, this article has the answers for you. Don’t spend another minute at work slaving away for the man. Do something, do anything, just don’t get a job and don’t work. Learn the reasons why your moocher friends are doing it today, or why that guy you dated last year never worked. This is true insight, enjoy.

This is a pretty cool reading website. You can get all the junk on all the major and minor registered political parties in the USA. Most people don’t even know these exist, but if you must vote ( in the future ), you should find a party that really supports your ideals and try to get away from this two party system. Some of these are also pretty crazy, throw that beer away and check out the old school prohibition party, maybe its for you!
