A computer game I can appreciate
Hubby bought us a new computer game today. Those of you who know me are now thinking to yourselves "but she doesn't like computer games! What was he thinking?" He was thinking that he finally found a computer game that I would like. And he's probably right.
And what is this piece of programming genius that can turn the eye of this self-professed computer game-a-phobe? It's The Political Machine. Yes, you, in the comfort of your own home, can launch a presidential campaign against Lurch.
The first time I play, I think I'm going to do a straight forward Bush/Kerry race. Then, I'll try to make a candidate that's a lot like me and see if I have a snowball's chance of getting elected. Better yet, I'll make a candidate like Hubby and see if I can get him elected as his campaign manager. (He did pretty well on his own during his first try- he lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College.)
Isn't technology a beautiful thing?
