THE GUY WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHO WON THE ELECTION

Have you seen the story about the guy in Brunswick, Georgia, who does not know who won the election? Joe Chandler went to bed on election night not knowing if the winner was Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. When he woke up feeling peaceful, he decided to wait until the afternoon before finding out. Then he decided to hold off as long as possible. Chandler has avoided newspapers, TV and the internet. When he goes outside, he wears headphones so he doesn’t overhear any presidential news. He wears a sign around his neck that reads, “I don’t know who won, and don’t want to. PLEASE DON’T TELL ME.” Although Chandler knows he can’t keep the news at bay forever, he says, “It is very peaceful in my bubble of ignorance.”
* If he can just hold out for 4 years, he should be okay.
* Sure. Make everybody else feel the pain.
* Well, half of everybody else, anyway.
* We need to know who he voted for so the right people can smirk at him.
* Does he at least know Georgia has gone Republican since 1996?
* What about when Trump starts naming everything after himself?
* Gee, why would anyone not want to celebrate our glorious democratic process?
* The good thing is, even if someone tells him Trump won, he probably won’t believe it.
* You know, this points out an interesting development in our society: A lot of people can live without newspapers, no problem. And some could do without television. But how dependent have we become on the internet? It’s taken over everything, right?
