So the people say they want change, and they're going to vote for the person who is going to change things.
But why? Thing are already changing, and they're changing rapidly. Mostly, things are getting worse. We didn't like paying $2 a gallon for gas, so they're changing that. To $3.50 a gallon. Crime is getting worse, and more teens are getting knocked up.
In fact, if there's any promise about the future, it's that it will be different.
And it's not as if things are really so terrible now. I'd vote for someone who promised not to make things worse. I'm all for the status quo.
Five readers can't be wrong
Weather in Magnolia (likely hot!)
You should be reading this blog.
Can someone really be wrong about everything? If we adapt the liar's paradox, substituting wrong for lies, we get something like, "Paul says Paul is wrong about everything." But perhaps this is mere hyperbole.
My blog is not really about being wrong, it's about bold predictions that have little or no basis. Predictions about sports and politics, along with pretentious commentary on 21st century life. Also, accounts about life in small town Arkansas.
If any of that makes sense, you're in the right place.

I wish you did your research better- violent crime is down (per capita) as is teen pregnancy.
According to the Washington Post, the reduction in teen pregnancy was reversed in 2005-6.

Same with violent crime rate.
