So concerning the US presidential election. I’ve been relatively disconnected from everything since coming to Europe. However, just recently I’ve been able to tune in to CNN world news and some online news, and I’m having mixed feelings about the whole thing. First of all, I really hope that Obama wins. However, if a bunch of racist idiots decide not to vote for Obama, I’m going to be ashamed to call myself a citizen of the USA. Come on, guys. Grow up. It’s 2008, almost 2009. We have to come to grip with reality. You know who you are. You should be ashamed of yourself. Do you really want to give the presidency to someone who is going to give it all back to the wealthy Christian white men? Oh yeah, and no to mention probably cause the end of the world as we know it? What would happen if McCain gets elected and promptly croaks? We’ll end up with a Hockey Mom president. Christ, it’s like a bad children’s movie. I’m tired of seeing the democrats roll over and die. After seeing the VP debates, I really wish that it was Hillary duking it out with Palin. While I’m sure the press would have blown it up as the cat fight of the century, I think Hillary would not only have taken off the proverbial gloves, but also have worn brass knuckles to the match. Frankly, with everything going on in our country right now, you would think that the candidates would address the issues in a believable manner. Ugh.
AGH! What the bleep happened to the leadership in our nation?! I won’t be surprised if I come back after my travels in Europe to a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Screw global warming. When people find out that their money has no real value, that will be truly destructive.
And for my republican friends, I know it’s not much use to argue with you on the matter, but think about the issues for once, and what your candidate really stands for. I’m getting sick of hearing racist, small minded arguments against Obama from all of you. If you don’t know the issues, then go read a blog or watch the news. You also know who you are.
Blargh. Not much to report on my end. It was warm today, 19 degrees (Celsius my friends. Celsius. 19 degrees C is 66.2 degrees F.) I actually had to break out the shorts. I think I’m the only person here who thinks that it is still warm. Everyone else looks like they are getting ready for winter already. Kinda funny.
Ooogh. Need a haircut. Starting to get crazy. Sorry to all of my Kassel buddies in Prague for not showing up this weekend. Wasn’t sure about my finances. We’ll see you in Budapest, though (Just referred to myself as a plural entity. That’s a good sign).
Hmm, I don’t think I’m quite done with my rant quite yet. Aren’t people tired of having dumb people run the most powerful nation on the planet? Or probably the formerly most powerful nation, if we keep it up. While I enjoy seeing the republican party slowly self destruct, it’s still frightening thinking that people will actually vote for McCain after his VP choice. I mean, she’s probably dumber than our current monkey in command. Hmm, I guess that this is bordering on slander. I’m sure that they have their strong suits. Like shooting things, coloring inside the lines (well, not sure about Dubya, he ate all of the crayons), and appealing to our folksy needs. I mean, who doesn’t like folksy metaphors that are used to skip around the actual issue? I love them!
Ergh. Starting to get frustrated.
