positivity

yeah

okay on wednesday everyone probably heard the news. if you haven't then you probably live in alaska or in a crack somewhere. im talking about obama. well it wasn't really a surprise. its a good thing he won. if mccain had won im sure he would have gone on a hunting marathon with palin instead of fixing america's economic shit hole. obama got right on it, even though he still has 2 months before taking over the office. so YAY OBAMA!

so im sure if you were following the campaign, you would have been thoroughly entertained like i was. only in the US will you ever find elections and politics fun and fascinating. you can't really imagine throwing a parade in any other country after the elections. but then again, only in US is the media so bloody influential. tv networks really put a good spin on the elections this season. very captivating.

there were somethings that i didn't really fancy about the elections.

for one, the duration. i guess that's one thing singapore got right. short and sweet. well not sweet for me since PAP keeps winning, but short...

another thing i didn't like was how many personal attacks they both made. while i'll acknowledge that every election there'll be shit going on, this election was particularly fraught with personal jabs. it was like 2 baracudas in a steel cage fighting it out. i guess that was the entertaining bit eh? hmm...

then i didn't like the racial and religious stigma that was pinned on obama. even if he was muslim, he has since converted. but think about it, should it even matter? urgh, talk about patriotism. i think republicans are kind of... gifted with a not so high IQ...? im trying this new thing: being politically correct. heh.

i also didn't like how the republicans have this idea that obama stands for socialism just because he wants some regulation of the free market. in case these unfortunately endowed people don't read news, there's like some serious shit going down in the free market.

another thing i didn't like was sarah palin. republicans can relate to her, sure... but only because she's just like them: gifted with a not so high IQ. i didn't like the reason mccain picked her as well: to win over female voters. HELLO?! american females are not stupid. well republican females are, but the rest of them aren't. they're not going to vote for you just because you hired something with tits.

DID I MENTION IM REALLY GLAD OBAMA WON? im happy its over. except republicans, the rest of the world is happy. AAAAAH phooey, who bloody cares about them anyway? all they ever do is hunt things and go to church, but once in 4 years they get to screw up the country. great! we'll see what happens in 4 years, until then obama can fix all of america's shit. CHANGE baby... bring it.

ps. amoeba, darling, thank god for our similar tastes in music. let's never stop being indie snobs and live happily ever after with our music hoarding.
