Scary People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Please move on to the jokes if you don’t want to ponder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two big frightening events coming up in the next few days: Halloween and (if you\u2019re an American) the mid-term elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not afraid of ghosts or any kind of monster created by Hollywood. In fact, horror movies are more comedic because I laugh at the silly makeup and the contrived silver bullet solutions to get rid of the bad guys. And (did you notice?) because of their heavy makeup and costume, the monsters always move ever so slowly? Yet, by some miracle, the poor damsel runs as fast as she can but somehow the monsters always catches up with her. I think the directors come from the same Film School and follow the same predictable template. What is it that makes people want to be scared in the first place? My first cousin grew up watching horror movies and she frightened very easily. But did that stop her from watching those movies? Nooooo!<\/em> Of course not. In my neighborhood you can spot the Hispanic households by their front lawn Halloween skeleton decorations. And some of them spend a small fortune just to out-scare their competition. Some people really like the dark side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is one thing I\u2019m scared of the most. And that is a politician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m constantly perplexed how some of the stupidest people in the planet are elected into office. And, almost guaranteed, they come equipped with the loudest built-in megaphone in their mouths. Media outlets love them because they are entertainment at its best (because they\u2019re funny) and its worst (because they are dead serious). Incredibly, there are people who believe their lies — now that\u2019s even scarier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS
Like most of you, I don\u2019t trust the political ads. In fact, the classic law of diminishing returns applies here: the more ads I see of a particular candidate or proposition, the more I tend to believe they\u2019re paid for by some rich, corrupt and desperate politician. So I rely on friends who have done the research. If you are interested, I posted my recommendations on this website: www.apnhr.com<\/a>. Wish I could cover a broader area but It\u2019s only a list of my local choices. My point is, don\u2019t trust the ads. They think we’re that gullible. Those ads may be witty and entertaining (if not downright nauseating) but many are not substantive. I suggest you find the person you trust who\u2019s really into politics, ask him\/her for his list and vote accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all transparency, I don\u2019t trust any of the incumbents. Living here in Los Angeles, California, where there is so much corruption and ridiculous laws, why vote for the same people who helped cause the trillion dollar failure? Rather than listen to what they say, look at what they did. Liar, liar, pants on fire. Politicians should retire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what would be really scary? — movies about the monsters in politics! Here are some potential titles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
