I am so glad the political season is over...now we can get back to watching Heroes at it's normal time and begin to give college basketball it's proper place...not to mention NFL football...I do have a few political tidbits rolling around in my head that I would like to lay to rest...
Prop. 8 passes mostly because of strong support from African American and Latino voters who came out in droves to vote for Obama...Interesting...voting for an ultra liberal president, but protecting ultra conservative values...only a relativistic society can pull that off
California's
prop. 2 showed how much we love our animals...hands down, supporters of
prop. 2 had the most graphic, heart-wrenching TV ads...those animals in
those ads seemed like life really sucked for them...now that prop. 2
passed, their lives will be much improved before they are
slaughtered...Because of those ads, I am never going to eat eggs or
meat again...except for when I am hungry...but besides that...never.
Next...56 million people didn't want Obama as their president, while 63 million people did. Not sure how much of a landslide victory that is...some people are thrilled, some are pissed...All I know is that I'm pissed if I live in Hawaii...the President was announced and gave his speech before they even finished voting...that's funny...but then again...they get to live in Hawaii...they'll get over it.
Age was more of a deciding factor than ethnicity in this presidential election...getting older stinks...at least in America...in Africa is it an honor...in America your elderly wisdom makes you out of touch...McCain is so out of touch it seems, that he can't even remember how many houses he owns. How can you forget the number of homes you have...worse...while being interviewed? Do you not realize how you came across to the younger generation, African Americans, and Latinos...let alone everyone else in the world? Perhaps it was a senior moment.
#1 Reason people voted the way they did...money...really...Americans care about money...remember money buys Americans the title of 23rd Happiest Place to Live in the World each year...If second place is like kissing your sister...what is 23rd place...I know...23rd is like kissing one of those prop. 2 animals...
Finally, I have learned that the Presidential Election is a lot like a Junior High Class Presidential Election...whoever promised that soda would flow through the drinking fountains...pizza would be everyday, not just Fridays in the cafeteria...and there would be no more HOMEWORK...that Jr. Higher, and he alone got my vote every time...and dang it, that stink'n Jr. Higher never delivered...we had crappy water in the fountains...disgusting sloppy joes in the cafeteria on Mondays...and teachers still gave HOMEWORK that I wouldn't do...so here you go Obama, the Senate is yours, the House is yours...I want soda in the fountains and affordable health care and pizza everyday and less taxes and no homework and peace...I'd just settle for soda in the fountains, but at least one spout has to be Diet...I'm in my 30's now and can't handle the Mountain Dew like I could in 7th grade...
w that I blogged about it...(click on the image to magnifiy it and see the good drool that Micah has going)
