Speaking Of: Where My Head Is At... Today?
( [ caught In between ] blog)
-
This will be the first of a multi-part rant, to be recorded, here, over the next several days. Here are the current non-sequiturs bubbling from my brain to my tap-typing fingers:
1) (Cliche alert) America gets the kind of government Amerikkka wants;
My name's Dubya V. Moerohn, and Ah approved this message.
2) To Dubya Administration 2.0: no longer will you have anyone to blame but yourselves for the inevitable national and international misfortunes that we'll all experience in the next four years, since your actions over the last few years have done nothing by magnify the targets on all our backs;
3) Fear-mongering really works!
4) The Washington Redskins thing was a hoax, and so is the "team";
5) Jon Stewart was right when he critized our media on Crossfire: they didn't really do a good job of educating and preparing all of us "smart" voters for the actual voting performance. And of course, there were long lines, and long waits... wonder how many just gave up waiting, said, 'screw this!' and gave up without voting ... after having registered for the first time. As a result, it looks like we voted in ways that make the entire, dreadfully-long campaign seem like a segment lifted right out of a bad, Reality TV show. And it's true. This campaign was like a 9-month run of Survivor: lots of talking heads, a few staged challenges, that you can even bet on in Vegas, then more talking heads, yak, yak, yak... and then this abbreviated tribal council, and someone gets voted out from left field, and it wasn't even close;
6) Same-sex partnerships are detrimental to the nation's 'moral fibre' (UK spelling, mine), and that's bahd for business;
7) Multi-billon dollar deficits don't really matter, your grandkids aren't even close to being born yet, and since you'll never really get to know them, it's not that bad that you're screwing them tomorrow in order to get your's today!
8) Geopolitical and military mistakes don't matter, only the consistent application of the same approach time and time again, regardless of outcome; also known as the --- Flip-Flop Corollary: i.e. even when armed with the facts, continue to do what you were going to do, even if what you were going to do has been proven to be a complete, unmitigated failure.
