Yesterday while on the treadmill I decided to watch the news; you know, learn something while working out. Well what I learned was that Nick Lachey is thinking about running for political office - this is news, I mean did Congress not just pass a HUGE stimulus package - but I digress. He said that, "he's always been interested in politics; it's something I've been thinking about for awhile." He didn't specify what he wanted to run for, but it's out there. I tried to find an article about it, but apparently they don't have enough writers to cover all the "news" going on in the world.
Alright now, for the better part of 12 years, I've been "interested" in politics. I've volunteered for my party, I was a political science major, I'm in law school trying to get a degree so that I can apply that to politics in some form. I mean if we're going to get technical, I've been voting since I was old enough to pull the lever for my Mom in the voting booth - I love politics and have for quite sometime! However, despite all the "in's" I'm trying to make into the world of politics, the ability to break into "that world" is hard, and even once you do, you'll be putting postage on letters for a good three years before anything remotely exciting happens. Little did I know that all I needed to be qualified to hold office was a brief career with a music group that uses temperature as a name and have a successful, yet dizzy spouse to get a show on MTV for me.
To think I've wasted so much time on this whole school thing! Puh, what was I thinking :)

really? interesting!
Hmm... He might pull some big numbers from the female population! Even if I wasn't voting for him, I might hang some campaign posters up in my bedroom, er - house, just so I could look at him!
Thanks for stopping by and voting on my Better Boy Band poll! I will be posting the results on March 14! p.s. Joey is my New Kid too!
that's crazy! I hadn't heard that. Call me crazy, but I want my politicians to be MORE educated, experienced and qualified than I am.... I don't respect any politicians who just kind of decide they want to do it.
I know what you mean...I have a son in law school, by the way. Anyhow...I get GOOD and tired of celebrities thinking they are the end all and be all.
Stopping by from SITS.
That is to funny! Nick running for office. I guess that is the new thing to do when you "retire" from shobiz.
I heard Val Kilmer is going to run in New Mexico.
Celebrity = qualified. Right?
He sure wouldn't be bad to look at though. :)
