Soupy Tuesday

Democracy has been dealt a painful blow today. Once again the United Sheep have voted for whom they were programmed to vote for-- apparently on no information whatsoever: McCain has garnered an ugly lead in the GOP race. On the bright side, it's pretty unthinkable that he has any hope of beating either Obama or Clinton, as he's an imbecile running on a platform of doing exactly what Bush has been doing, except more of it. (Of course, it was also unthinkable that he'd be taken seriously in the Repub race: "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups" comes to mind.) What, precisely, in the hell having been a p.o.w. might have to do with being a good problem solver/ leader of the free world i cannot pretend to apprehend; but tens of thousands of people went out to vote for him today with apparently just that relationship in mind. Every time i think the world is already a pretty bizarre place, and that people seem to put no effort or thought into what they are doing before they do it, something really big and public comes down the pipe to make it just that much stranger.

At any rate, if he manages to push Bush's incomprehensible budget proposal through, i'll just go ahead and start learning Mandarin and get back in shape for riding my bicycle about. i s'pose being indentured to China might simplify a few things; and that couldn't be altogether bad, eh?
