i dream we're happy in my sleep
First - I have a crisis.
I seem to have misplaced my copy of Heartbreaker. That last time I remember having it on my person was when I was writing And the Birds All Singing Blue. I thought it was in my car, but when I finally looked yesterday, no luck.
How many copies is that now? Six? Seven? And my work laptop doesn't have my music on it and that's all I have with me.
Damn it.
And now for a new feature, which we're going to call 'Fun with Republicans.'
This week, I'm working closely with two people who, while cool, are staunch Republicans. As such, they're pretty anti-Obama. They know I'm a leftie and that I went to the inauguration, etc. So I walk in this morning and here's what happened -
Co-worker - 'Hey, check this out. I thought you'd get a kick out of it.'
[He hands parker a cartoon of Obama, in which he has a huge upperbody on these teeny, tiny legs. An arrow pointing to his upper body says, 'Obama's popularity' and an arrow pointing to his legs says, 'Obama's policies.']
parker - [laughs politely and rolls her eyes]
Co-worker - I didn't bring in the best one. It was a picture of Obama with the world on his shoulders; two elephants are standing there saying, 'Should we help him?' 'No, let's give him a wedgie.'
parker - [refrains from screaming that that explains why the Republican party is THE DEVIL] 'Don't worry about it. We've had enough of your kind of help for the last eight years; we've got this.'
Co-worker - 'Well, most of that was trying to clean up from the previous administration.'
parker - [gapes] 'We really don't need to get into this right now.'
Co-worker - 'Regardless, you've got to admit that Clinton was one of the stupidest presidents we've ever had, except for Bush. His IQ was really low.'
parker - 'Yes, as Rhodes Scholars are known for being exceedingly stupid.'
Then I went into my meeting, but seriously? SERIOUSLY?
And the more I think about it, the more that cartoon explains everything that is wrong with the Republican party.
And whatever you can say about Clinton, being intellectually stupid wasn't one of them.
Jesus.
