From Straw Polls to Epiphany
Isn’t It Great Being This Small?
Current mood: bitchy

Political media coverage has been evolving into the mirror image of celebrity news. All things minor are major at the altar of concupiscense and power.
The scramble to the top is motivated by the need to rule over the little people. To make them wince with envy at the marvelous spectacle created by those individuals who can make better decisions, entertain at diplomatic brunches and wear pinstripe ten times better than the little people .
They tell us what we really need. How to dress better, think with intention and most of all they tell us who is in charge of our own bodies and personal worlds. Them. Once upon a time there was the great I am now there is the Them.
They will bestow kindness, goodness, lower gas prices during the holidays and boatloads of wisdom if we allow them to manipulate us. Of course, you have to pay first. Money, peace of mind or perhaps your personal freedoms like freedom of speech. You don't really need your civil liberties do you?
I'm crabby today and I am relieved. I don't have to make decisions for myself because I have a President who will do it for me.
I'm about to help elect a new President to be the stoical defender of me and my little world and if I'm lucky he'll let me give him a blow job. I don't have to be in a good mood today because he has enough happiness for the two of us.
Isn't it great being this small?

Incoming Fire, Look Out Obama!
Category: News and Politics
Look out Obama, here comes the fire. Ever wonder why Hillary looks a little crispy around the edges? She's been living in the fire for years now. Which is why I can not understand why she's whining about the media at this point.
The media has always had a bias. Media is a business and the business is about making money. They will almost always follow the angle that's making the money.
Hillary has been wearing a target on her backside ever since her senatorial campaign. It is a moving target and lately, it looks like she is standing so close to Obama that the naysayers lost track of who they are firing at. Finally.
Hey, I get it. Obama is smart, interesting, cute and inspiring but he is a little too "un-tinged" by political fire. Can he withstand the Republican full frontal attack if he wins the nomination? I don't think so.
Whenever anyone makes fun of me for my love of "riding bitch", I always have one thing to say. "The bitch always gets a seat." Hillary can ride the rough road and we know even if we don't like what she gets done, she will get it done. I'm not sold yet on Obama's "get it done" bitch factor.

Straw Polls & Scarecrows
Mitt has his straw poll and I have a straw hat I wear to the beach. Other than a penchant for straw validation, Mitt and I have little in common. It surprises me that Mitt the Republican needs far less of an introduction to you, than I do.
Unlike many celebutard wannabe's, I don't care if I'm pasty white and the soup de jour of the popular set. It does not matter if you agree with me because I accept you as you are. Complete with imperfections that would challenge your acceptance of me.
Unlike myself, Mitt has your attention. He cares if you think he is pasty white and he wants you to agree with him, all the way to the polls. That's two steps short of the bank and one step closer to the current administration's cash checking policy.
Please don't ask me for an in depth explanation, just do the research. Trust me, you would be much more comfortable with my floppy, beach hat than a painfully rich, pasty white, out of touch Mormon President popular with the elite straw set.
What is so wrong with a pragmatic managerial approach to government? What happened to the seperation of church and state?
