why did it have to end so soon?

You know the old saying, "You miss the thing you hate once it's gone" (I think I just made that up). Or is it, "You miss the stupid fucking Primaries that seemed to last so long that you were certain McCain would die before any decisions were reached now that they are over"? I forget which saying it is, but you get my point. We were all contemplating (suicide?) coming up with a drinking game in which you watched the news (not Fox News, they're too depressing) and drank a shot each time the pundits talked about someone winning a Primary, a pint each time anyone mentioned a Candidate dropping out, and a bottle of Jagermeister for old-man jokes (alcohol poisoning at its best). But we refrained. We knew that it would eventually end. We prayed to all the divine beings that the enhanced interrogation (not torture) would stop. Now that it's over... life seems so uninteresting. I feel so uninspired. It's so bad that I'm kicking around the idea to watch Fox News until it completely dissolves my soul, and then maybe I'll find something worth talking about.
I could tell you that Hillary owes herself $11.4 million (how do you borrow your own money?). She has until August to pay it off (she can pay herself back), and Mr. Obama, out of the kindness of his heart (and the desperate need to not split the Party any more than it already is), has offered to help the robot-lady raise enough to pay off her debts.
I could also mention that a report from Senate claims that President Bush and his friends "deliberately misrepresented secret intelligence" in order to be able to invade Iraq. I hate to be the bearer of bad news (actually, I love it), but I think we've all known that for, oh, I don't know, several years. Senate also claims that the Administration was wrong when they "linked Saddam Hussein to the Sept. 11 attacks and al-Qaida; claimed Iraq would give terrorist groups chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, and said Iraq was developing drone aircraft to spread chemical or biological agents over the United States." Didn't a bunch of people write books on this already?
Thank you, Captain Obvious and the League of Redundancies.
