I've been told if you want to make it in this game....
Aaaand the job hunt continues! I'm applying at schools for substitute teaching, which I actually feel really positive about. An admin in one of the schools told me straight out that they need subs really bad.
Also, I'm worn out on politics. Since Obama and McCain were named as their parties' candidates, I've been researching casually. Since Sarah Palin was announced as McCain's running mate, I've cranked things to 11 and have been doing almost nonstop research, following through with every rumor, checking facts, ranting. My main motivation is my mother, who was a PUMA/Clinton Democrat and sold her values down the river to become a conservative Republican. She listens to the hate-bile regurgitation of conservative radio, her holy trinity consisting of Limbaugh, Hannity, and Savage. What makes this worse than it already is? She listens to it when my stepdad and I (both Obama supporters) are in the car. Like when we went to get ice cream last night. Our attempt at family time was ruined by Sean Hannity.
This election year has made me nostalgic and sad that Hunter S. Thompson is not alive. He was a reporter in his own class. Anybody who tries to be like him gets categorized by the conservative media pundits as "radical liberal" and is instantly marginalized and placed among the rest of the crazies - anyone who is not like the pundits and does not vomit back their ideas onto their friends, family, God, and country. Yeah, Thompson was liberal too, but unlike other liberal journalists, he had the balls to argue and bite like a conservative. All the liberal radio and journalism I've heard are just too polite. They try to pass themselves off as "educated" and "reasonable" - the nice guys next door who are looking out for the greater good, which just so happens to include you and your own - and for all their education and rational explanation of their ideas, they come off as weak bleating sheep for the savage beasts of conservative radio and journalism to devour. The blood of these liberals is spewed out over the cheering, hate-filled, white heterosexual male WASPs - an entitled group of pigfuckers trying desperately hard to compensate for their inadequacies as the Ruling Class and Almighty Majority - who lap it up in orgasmic gluttony and demand more, perpetuating, enabling, and deluding their pundits into believing that they represent the People and, despite their mansions, endorsements, and prescription drug addictions, speak for America.
The world needs more Hunter S. Thompsons to show the liberals how to fight and take away the power from the Beasts.
