Querido Diario: Let’s discuss overrated things, shall we?
Saturday, August 30th, 2008
This world is going in the shitter. Well, that’s a well known statement but I just wanted to remind myself. Yesterday I learned about Mr. McCain’s bold, very bold move towards his election process. In a single day I’ve seen the whole continent turn upside down, republicans and democrats united in an American sense of bewilderment and the rest of the people, like me, the people that usually only give a single fuck about politics are doing things like this , like me.
So what do I think? Well after hearing the apparent news of the week about this Alaska chickie I also learned that, and I will quote Mr. McCain: “The vice president has two duties. One is to inquire daily as to the health of the president, and the other is to attend the funerals of Third World dictators. And neither of those do I find an enjoyable exercise.”
I feel the need to translate this in the words of a simpleton like myself and I believe it goes something like this: “Since the job of a VP is extremely uninteresting, effortless and dull it really doesn’t matter who I pick to do it, so I’ll pick a woman. Heck, that’s like killing to birds with the same stone, I’ll make the lady folk happy (somehow) and I’ll have somebody checking on my [moribund] health everyday.
This ain’t a sexist thing whatsoever, is it? And oh yes, it is very strategic: Let’s make happy all those broads that wanted Clinton as a President but that’s out the window. Well, I guess every vote counts it doesn’t matter if you’re being brainwashed into becoming a part of a mass of pure idiocy and following whatever. That’s America for you.
Now, I’ve never been one to follow this political nonsense very closely, or to be interested by it in any shape or form, but this election, for some reason seems and will be a historical one. I mean, on one hand we have what it seems to be a very decaying old fellow (who likes George W. Bush ), that has some good ideas but the douchebaggery seems to overcome all good things. On the other hand we have this guy, who is fondly? known in the streets of America as the Black President. Who has some good ideas but the fact that his skin color isn’t ghost like apparently could affect his performance. Again, that’s America for you.
So, I presume we’re gonna have to sit and wait to see what happens. Just like a movie that’s gotten great reviews before is out there for the public to see, has gotten everybody really excited to go see it and ends up sucking like a pornstar on crack.
These are my two cents on the subject.
