Days of The Dragon

This is another rare political post – if it’s not your thing, just skip it. There probably won’t be anymore until the debates – if they’re interesting.

Wow, I so thought McCain would at least give a good acceptance speech last night. But, it was so bland. First off, do not put a pale, white-haired, balding man in front of a lime-green background – it makes him look like he’s on death’s door. Second, make sure your nominee knows his speech well enough that he doesn’t need to read it like a high-schooler from the TelePrompTer – especially when your candidate isn’t very good at doing that.

So, if you missed the speech, here is the summary: Hi. I respect Obama (fingers crossed). I have a wife. I had another wife, but she got in a car wreck, so I dumped her ass. I was a POW. All of my ancestors have been POWs. I was a POW. I learned to love my country as a POW – so, if you were not a POW, you do not love America as much as I do. Our country is in bad shape; Republicans did it – and even though I supported those policies for the last 8 years, I am different. I will change things. I was a POW. I was a POW. You should have choice in what school you send your kid to, so that only the poor, stupid kids are left at the then one crappy school and then we can ignore them. I will change things, even though I have no idea how I will change them. I know the economy sucks for many average Americans – I have read about it in the evil, liberal newspapers that are regularly delivered to all 7 of my homes. I was a POW. I have a Bangladeshi daughter that I rescued from that horrible, poverty ridden place called Bangladesh. Did I mention she was adopted and that I was a POW. We should drill for oil, even though it won’t help anyone. Many Americans can’t afford health care – they should just die or something. Did I say I was a POW in the last 4 minutes? Did you realize that I put someone with boobs and a vagina on my ticket? If you have boobs and a vagina, too, then you should vote for me. I was a POW. Be afraid. Be afraid. The world is out to get you! The world is out to get America! Be afraid! I will protect you; I am your daddy. I was a POW. War, War, War – I love it! Stand with me!…or I might fall over. Hey, where’s my life alert?!

It truly is like watching someone trying to stage a coupe against themselves. As someone said recently, the John McCain of 2000 would not vote for the John McCain of 2008.

Oh, and Cindy, Viet Nam does not rhyme with “cram”. It rhymes with “mom”.

J Stewart is just funny….
