Keep Talking

I won't lie, I doubt this will be any more regular than in recent months. Fuck it, I won't apologize, it's not as if there are any regular readers.

Anyway, death comes closer, stupid stuff happens, and nothing changes. Granted, a lot has happened since the last post, but come on. Do you really need me to tell you that the end of 8 years of total stupidity is nigh?

Wait! Was that a reference to current affairs?

Ok, I'm not going to go on about Obama - the blog title should tell you that I supported him over McCain and the Palin woman. I stayed up to watch it, yes, and I was happy with the result. I'm not one of those Obama worshippers, though. Oh no, those rallies you Americans have scare me. I mean, great public speakers holds massive uplifting rallies - what could possibly go wrong?

No, don't worry, I don't think Obama's going to invade Mexico. But I do think that people are expecting a bit much of him, and following him blindly. Let's be critical. Let's be cautious. But most of all, let's be patience. He's going to inherit one fucked up country - "change" won't come straight away. There are echoes of Jimmy Carter here, and look what happened after him.

Anyway, let's look at things more positively - Sarah "I learned my history from The Flintstones" Palin has been kept away from the White House. If you'll excuse the following terrible and hypocritical pun - thank god. If there is anyone reading this who can vote in America, know this - that woman must never be given power. Never. There is no justification to let those who ignore basic scientific fact in favour of upholding a made up story. Not to mention the whole pro-life/death penalty thing. Sorry, but that is just stupid.

Oh yeah, and the world economy is fucked. I think i'll finish by giving all the capitalists in the room a message -

We told you so.
