HubNugget Nation

The week of October 31 through November 6, 2010 is most auspicious.

This week featured, just in its first three days: Halloween/Neewollah, All Souls Day, and the American Mid-Term Elections - the last being the potentially most frightening of all. If this brings not enough excitement, November 5 is time for the weekly HubNuggets Hub Day as well as Gunpowder Day.

Watching TV campaign ads recently, I noted that they were 99 and 99/100% Pure negativity. This made me long for the shadow government of the futurist film and book Harrison Bergeron (Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.), where thinking was outlawed and one average citizen or other received a phone call every 4 years in appointment to the figurehead US Presidency. (Why, no; that's not how we really do it . Why do you ask?)

However, I snapped back to the present day and dispatched my voting responsibilities. I had reams of information supplied by the League of Women Voters, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and other civic associations regarding the stances of the candidates on the issues at vote. Interestingly, some candidates' surveys that were compiled contained only name-calling. Others seemed to have no stance at all, since they completed no survey and made themselves unavailable for questioning. I made some write-in choices.

Where am Iiving , I thought, on the Animaniacs lot at Warner Brothers? Down the Rabbit Hole? -- Well! my muse Jack Benny intoned.

EXIT POLL

A quarter of my frontal lobe thinks moving to Canada would be a good idea, although Wonderland is the first best choice, winning over 51% of the cerebrum (but W-land's currently filled to capacity). Outer Space comes in as third choice (provisional gray cells still out for 10 days), but that route is still a few years away by privatization.

HubNugget Nation has a much simpler system of voting. I am unanimous in that.

Before she retired from HubNuggetry, Captain Shirley Anderson published a better voting manual and racing form than anything I carried into the voter's stall this week: HubNuggets How-To, Q and A

Then write, read - and Vote with us every Friday. More fun than a barrelful of politicians!

A little humor seasons the insanity of political races with grace and makes it pallatable.

In the blitz of personal assaults on the opposition that filled the airwaves to saturation so that mud fell from the skies, there was one small smiling light in Ohio. It was a dash of pepper.

A comic clip about one candidates' accomplishments - without a word about the opposition - was quite nice →→

Now that we've ALL won what we wanted in the 2010 election outcomes (LOL), we and our global neighbors can enjoy voting for our 3 favorite HubNuggets Wannabes of the week –- And it should be a lot more fun than standing in line at the polls all day, or going down to the Board of Elections for early voting and finding that our registration has vanished!

The 3 Topics for this week are appropriately Politics and Social Issues, Personal Finance, and Fashion and Beauty . You won't even need to watch any campaign ads! Hubbers are too busy writing good work to waste the time. So, relax and please vote for your favorites and refrain from defenestrating your computer!

Looking at the outcome of the elections, we should all have plenty of money in the near future (hack, hack, hack; Sorry, I momentarity choked). If that's not quite true for you, then have a look at these outstanding money maximizing tips from HubNugget Nation's newest citizens.

With all the money we're saving from the great tips listed above, we can spend a little on Fashion and Beauty.

(We may need to hurry, before the 500% Flat-Fair...Flat Earth...some F Tax is initiated on purchases of new goods).

Have a good time looking over the useful, awesome, and beautiful Hubs below. Vote the most fashionable and lovely into the office of HubNugget!

Ohio likely lost all hope for a 3C Rail line from Cinci to Cleveland in this election. We have Amtrak passenger service only on Lake Erie and one point on the Ohio River (with no connection), so transportation options are drying up, if an Ohioan has no automobile.

With Greyhound service cuts and their stations moved to obscure locations, I hope our airport is not converted to a city dump and the broken highways all rolled up for greenspace. City bus services? - sighhhhhh

Ohioans! - Earn cash by writing on HubPages at home. Many of us already do so. People in other states do this as well, and so do people living in other countries. It may be the answer you are looking for. If you have not already done so, Sign Up for Free at the embedded link and give it a try.

If Johnny Appleseed could walk from Cambridge to Cincinnati, I guess I can, too. Then I'm taking a train to the West Coast.

Zsuzsy Bee - Friend Mirror, will you help me to win the election for Empress of North America?

Zsuzsy Bee - I thought that was Secretariat?

Mirror - Another landslide winner!

B.T. Evilpants - BUwahahahahahaha...Excellent.....
