H'wood, Libs Diss Hix Pix For Veep

Among those who take politics too seriously, recent days have proven spectacular. The Obamanoids, for example, are coming unglued. With the worm-gnawed corpse of the GOP suddenly up and walking around again thanks to McCain's choice of Alaska gov Sarah Palin for the VP spot, the lefty Dems are beginning to realize that Sen. Barack Muad'dib Obama (D-Arrakis) might not win the election — and they're fighting mad about it. Today alone I read three separate frothing screeds on various message boards — each written by a normally-sane person, mind you — in which the authors go on at some length about how this horrible thing, this, this Palin woman, is going to cost our country its last real chance for Hope and Change!!1!!1one. A certain Obama Otaku even promised to switch citizenship and lead an international effort against the McCain administration if the Chosen One doesn't win in November. Rise, Bene Gesserit sisters! The Kwitzach Haderach must not be denied his rightful place as God-Emperor!

Fortunately, it's all talk. Since few of these poor folks own guns, I don't think we have to worry about any kind of armed rebellion should Juan McAmnesty (R-México) assume the Top Spot this fall. The sad truth is that the sclerotic bureaucracies that actually run government and the pitiless supercorporations that control the economy will make sure the lives of the NASCAR audience remain untroubled. After all, as long as beer is cheap and sports are on TV, the vast majority of Americans are content to let the status remain quo as this sorry farce grinds on to its meaningless conclusion.

As for me, I'm a monarchist. No matter which team wins, I'm hosed. Therefore, since I can't do anything about the coming election, I intend to continue my policy of Not Worrying About It. Log on, pop a top, and enjoy the froth — that's the way to survive an election!
