meh
I’m here – just fighting the flu…. More so on Kevin and Chad’s behalf who’ve been down with the traditional hacking, sneezing and coughing.
I just haven’t felt quite right, had trouble sleeping and had wicked body aches… but oddly – that’s it.
So I don’t know if that means I’m yet to come down with this or the ole immune system threw this one off from the get-go.
It’s election day finally. I won’t miss the automated phone calls and landslide of really REALLY ridiculous mailers…. I mean – this crap has the tone and depth of professional wrestling interstitials.
The more you pay attention to politics – the more your intelligence gets insulted.
This elections divisive topic? …. Stem Cell research…. Which – if you READ the damn thing – you’ll wonder what the big deal is about…. It’s issues and scope are largely economic…. Important sure… but if you read the yard signs and billboards from the frothing-at-the-mouth fundamentalist christians and friends – you would think that the very question of Stem Cells (and cloning) are being voted on.
…. … … but they’re not… IN FACT! Hypocritically – the way the amendment reads – a “no” vote is basically saying “Nope.. no stem cell research.. not in my back yard!!!…. but.. urr.. well – if any cures are developed nationally – we’re entitled to them too.”.
Now – all that said – some, (but seemingly not as much), of the the Democrap that’s come through the mail is just as silly…. but as usual…. is a much paler shade of shitty and deceptive than the GOP stuff.
Where’s the “Progressive Party?”
I guess till the whole media / money structure changes – we’re stuck with the only two parties who can “afford” to stand in front of the microphone.
So what about a “progressive democrat” ?
Barack Obama in 08′
Yeah – I heard the speech… then heard several interviews with him…
So yeah.. Get my lemming furry costume out – I’m hooked… sue me.
One of Chad’s (black) co-workers said “That niggah is gonna go and get himself shot!” – and I’m afraid I have to agree with him.
Progressive leaders in this country tend to get murdered… Nobody assassinates conservatives… wonder why…. (Liberals don’t own guns?)
So… I want to make bumper stickers that reads:
SHOOT OBAMA IN 09!
*is that too jaded?
