Politics, for all intents and purposes, is pretty boring. Unless Michael Bay decides to become a senator and make an explosive phillibuster or two, things are pretty much cut and dry in that realm.

I’m calling it now folks, prehistoric beasties and near-humans are the next big money-making gimmick in entertainment. After all, anything dating from the Cretaceous era seems to be popular now, and applying modern day thinking to some ancient lifestyles may not be a bad thing at all.
