Dear Reachle

*A short letter to my friend, soon leaving for New York, wondering "why" i choose San Diego*
Actually, i know absolutely nothing about Sand Diego, nor do i have a job down there. :-) i could not longer take Omaha, i had been here 5 months over my promised leaving time. Omaha sucks, thats without need of explanation. i have an ex who lives down there (one of my only friends that has moved out of omaha) and he generously opened up his place to me for free until i get my feet on the ground there. In college i had this idea that before i started my career i would randomly move west for a year and just live a down low life as a surfer. as an omaha boy the ocean actually is a rare and miraculous thing, almost spiritual. so because my career is, in no way going anywhere (bad economy, few firm call backs, my internship went on a hiring freeze so didnt add me on, Ambercrombie and Fitch Headquarters dissolved my position halfway through the training class) i decided to not grow up right away and fate was tell me to stop breath and enjoy my youth before i create on of the most monolithic PR/Event Firm monopolies... ever. *BHAHAHAHA haha ha* i guess that will be time consuming and stressful so i will take a short break before i embark on my career. i have complete freedom, no school, no job, no love, no relationship, no children, no debt a whole lot of nothing, so i am going to bask in my freedom. i say -you should postpone life and come live a free, easy life for just 5 months before you commit your life again to school in the cold bustling east.

Help get you through the Election

Here are some terms that i have been hearing that might help you through:

Kitchen sink politics- throwing "everything and the kitchen sink" at the opinionated (Hillary's current tactics against Obama have been called this).
Red Letter Democrats- conservatively religious Democrats (they often point to health care/bleeding hart issues and oppose military and the war as reasons for feeling that the Democratic party is more 'catholic.')
Log Cabin Republicans- Gay Republicans, no this is not a myth they do actually exist, they are also known as cannibals.
Wedge issues: issues contrived to create a philosophical/ideological wedge to force voters to choose either or on a hot button issues, best used on moderate voters (successfully enacted by the Bush reelection campaign with gay marriage issue to distract from floundering economy, failing war, raising gas prices among other scandals).
