Mediocrity for Hire

Oh Lord, what a day! I think school is rapidly aging me.  I have a quiz tomorrow on the cardiovascular system but, I've been reading about computer shit for hours SO I'm taking a little break to clear my head. Anyone that has lived in Oregon for a few years has likely heard of Bill Sizemore. During election times his name is as pervasive as Viagra ads during the World Series. I'm not terribly fond of the man but, I read some things about him that make me think he's a genius. This fartknocker, republican billionaire named Loren something-or-other, who lives in Nevada, pays Sizemore a six figure salary to dump useless, right-wing ballot initiatives on the ballots.  Here's what kills me--it doesn't matter if the damn measure passes, just that it gets on the ballot. Huh? You mean he's making obscene money even if he fails???? Can you think of any other job where you make bank like he does for half-assing your job? What if a surgeon hacked you open, couldn't get a tumor out and just said screw it and super glued you shut? If a chef was tired and only half cooked your chicken and sends out the salmonella special, would that fly with you? Maybe I'm evil and incredibly lazy but, how the hell do I get a job like that? I'm not saying he's right or responsible for using our voting process as a conservative landfill but it pisses me off that I'm busting my ass learning five syllable words in ancient Greek and Latin and Sizemore is being rewarded for mediocrity. Perhaps, I should take out an ad in Entertainment Weekly or the Hollywood Reporter advertising  two acts of a screenplay for sale...or maybe I'd just write a story with only dialogue and no scene headings and descriptions. Yeah, I think Dreamworks would just eat that up. Don't you?
