I was recovering from surgery and so wasn't able to be out burning shit as I should have, but I was at home burning one and crying as I saw George W. Bush have the balls out audacity to tell the US public to be "citizens not subjects". Fucker. I was there watching as the whoreporate media leapt on the creatively timed release of the story that recount demand leader Jesse Jackson was getting his reverend extramarital dick wet. I met Jesse.... he is a horny bastard, but at least he stands up when it's time and speaks truth to power.
Worse than 1980's Central American style electioneering is a complacent and zombie tranced American pretend election where we're so titillated by the soap opera that we don't see the theft in front of our eyes.
It would be nice, as the article says if we were conducting a fair and free election with an informed populace. This is a dog and pony show. All the hype and the silly packages on Obama's last outfit or how Obama rhymes with Osama.... and how both Obama and the president of Iran don't like ties..... is all Weapons of Mass Distraction with American Idol style tv production.
It would be cool if they really said something of substance because we citizens demand it. But at this stage is it really a war of posturing. It's like a work review....where the only bit that matter is the work you do right before the review. You'll see.... shortly before November they'll miraculously start caring about senior citizens again... they only give a crap about them every 4 years.... but because they're a major voting block they'll care as they would like to minimize suspicion towards the voting machines by keeping the exit polls close.
Julia's post couldn't have been more right on time. :-(
