Am I the only person in Australia feeling utterly bored stiff by the television coverage of the US election?
Does it matter to me who is running in the presidential race?
Bad manners, diatribes, accusations, rigging, and criminal threats… these are just a handful of the jabs directed at opponents.
The entire spectacle is akin to a nightmare or a soap opera; it only serves to degrade America.
Even worse, it plays on repeat across Australian television as if I actually care. I long for some peace, and if this continues until someone gets inaugurated in March, then so be it.
By that time, perhaps some real news will emerge.
Who knows, maybe Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will undergo sex changes, it will snow at the South Pole, sharks will be spotted at sea, Australia will face a deficit, or the Socceroos will win the World Cup…well, anything is possible…
It’s too late now; I have already sold the TV.
