Lately, I've been really apathetic to the political process because, to me, the candidates really stink. I couldn't care less who wins the national election because I don't think either will do much for me, and I think that they're both full of it.

Being from MA, I know that the state will spend its electoral votes on a Democrat. It always has, it always will. Voting for a Republican or a Democrat is downright useless here. So, I figured I'd vote for a 3rd party candidate, and try to get them Federal funding. But which one?

I heard on the radio about a site that would ask you questions and determine what candidate reflects your views the best (http://www.govote.com/votematch). It really worked well for me, and I'm actually going to vote for a 3rd party rather than waste my vote writing in "Ross Perot, the nut" again (He said he'd sell Air Force One because he had his own plane! How could I resist?).

If you go there, make sure that you click on the questions and read them. "Strongly Oppose", "Oppose", etc., do not mean precisely what you may think, and they change on a per question basis.

So now I'm OzzyOsbourne, Perl writer, Libertarian.

I'll be in my bunker writing Perl if anyone needs me...
