Querido Diario: Let’s discuss overrated things, shall we?
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.

Seriously, the elections in the USA become more pathetic every time. This one is the biggest joke so far. I was rooting for Ron Paul who of course got alienated by the press and entire media. Now he’s out. And my choices are what???? Some old fart who scares the carp out of me because he seems like just another Bush, but probably worse. And the other one is laughable…why? Because 90% of the people who are rooting for him are only doing so because of the color of his skin. To me he has no credibility and seems way too weak. And the fact that people support him just for the color of his skin is such an expected thing of Americans too, and so pathetic and ignorant. Ugh somebody get me a bag, I’m going to puke.
