Political stream-of-consciousness rant
Tomorrow is the day we all get to find out who our new master (besides your boss) will be for the next 4 years. To be honest, I'm a little on the fence. I don't know whether to vote for Obama and bum out a bunch of rednecks, hardline christians, laissez faire economists (although Obama is definitely still free-market, don't be fooled by that McCain anti-socialist rhetoric. I wish!) and other unsavory people; or to vote for McCain and sit back and watch as the shit really hits the fan and the revolution begins!
Frankly, I'm getting a little impatient as I wait for the class war.
As much as I would love to simply say SMASH THE STATE '08 and really mean it, there are some issues on the ballot I cannot ignore. Dogracing? Getting rid of income taxes? Fuck that shit! How about all those greyhounds come live with me and we can hang out and party and just be dawgs (pun intended). And how about we just tax the fuck out of really rich people and give the money to me. Better yet, the government should tax the fuck out of rich people and subsidize my drinking habits! Beer Stamps! Because nobody gives a shit about politics when they're drunk. The best way for the state to consolidate power is to keep everybody wasted and I'm okay with that.
Today a certain vice president of the UMass Republican club said that labor unions controlled the country. I wish! What a crock of shit, that would explain why every manufacturing job in the last 30 years has been outsourced and is currently occupied by some Chinese kid getting paid 2 cents an hour to work in some warehouse with no ventilation and one lightbulb. Idiot. And that's why 2 months before the Iraq war even started, USAID was busy auctioning off oversight of the privatization of the new Iraq economy including the approximately 200 formerly state-run companies. That's why Iraq currently has absolutely no protective trade barriers. Labor Unions run the country. Right.
But back to the real issue; beer stamps. I should write my congressman about that. Tell them to propose a bill enacting a new type of welfare program. Move over Great Society. This New Deal (pun also intended) will be the real deal, the beer deal.
I could care less about prop. 2 though. Get a haircut, hippy.
Seriously though, that whole thing about "If you don't vote, you can't complain" is complete shit. Don't tell me what I can and can't complain about. The idea that voting once every four years for some jackass from one of two fundamentally similar political parties constitutes democracy is absurd. The whole not complaining thing is just a ploy to silence dissent. How about we make it "If you don't complain, you can't vote."
And why the fuck is there always a cop car outside my apartment for hours on end at specific times of the day? Do I really pose some sort of threat? Stop the surveillance. Do I look like I even know how to use a gun? Absolutely not.
In conclusion:
Obama supporters are annoying and McCain supporters are dumb.
No gods, no masters
Vote McKinney? Moore?
