Listening and watching the current unfolding political events beat watching reality television shows such as Bogged Brains or Pooping Idiots. With political reality TV, there is blood, sweat, fights, and many other unnerving events that make television interesting. The talent of politicians is just as raw. When and where will the public ever get to have a politician saying – on record – that his opponent is “a prostitute” and “a frog puffing itself up to the size of an ox?”

Hilarious, classic stuff, isn’t it? For the record that was President Robert Mugabe in a television interview with the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation. Personally I loved the interview so much I downloaded the transcript.
Back to the politics in the house. In South Africa - yes it is an old topic but wait for this – the campaign got so heated that the dear old mother of one had to step out of her hut to explain her son's aloofness and arrogance by attributing it to the son's super intelligence. Brilliant, isn’t it?
