Will Monday start of one of those game changing weeks?
I hope so, if there’s any benefit to this economic crisis, it’s a spotlight that’s finally put on unregulated free market capitalism. At least now were talking about the issues instead of being pummeled by countless news cycles featuring Republican water-carriers making ridiculous claims that Obama is really the lying, distasteful candidate and not John McCain. Memes like “McCain invented the Blackberry” (it’s a Canadian company) or the even funnier “McCain can’t use a computer because he got his ass beat as a POW” (a bullshit line I paraphrased that first appeared in an article from the Boston Globe in 2000). I love that one, it rolls fake outrage in with a ploy for sympathy - it’s a bullshit burrito! But it actually spotlights the other problem… an absolutely brain-dead media and consumers that don’t have a second to stop and think.
They’re serioius. Karl Rove was pushing that one hard and Sean Hannity is becoming a broken record with it but he’s still bullshit.
If McCain can hold a microphone up to his face all day, he can type at a computer but he won’t because like other old creepy grandpas that excessively do “thumbs up” and wink a lot, he’s afraid of change and he’s really not that smart. Think about it, we do have pictures in this modern world. Hopefully this clears it up, John McCain can lift his arms up to use a computer.
(he’s looking more Nixonian every day) But he’s really not scheduled to live much longer therefore why would he have any interest in real change?
