Political Hangover

摘要

This out-of-sorts feeling was brought on by unending oratories from both political stumps. Left unchecked, it could escalate into a raging case of national heartburn. My goodness, the levels the candidates resorted to as they cast their opponents in ashadowy light. It got so bad that we didn't even expect them to tell the whole truth anymore. We settled for half-truths and innuendos, then sadly relied on various media "truth squads" to sort out whether a statement was "flatly false, partially true or basically true." In the meantime, those who were unaware or uncaring went merrily on their way, making voting decisions with skewed information.
