I don't mean to get all politico on you but I have to let the demons exit the building...
This guy I know, from high school, is one of my Facebook friends. Every time I get online, he has posted a new political statement that would make anyone from Rush Limbaugh to Nancy Pelosi cry "Uncle!"
This video made the guy go off on me (the video is not this pixelated once you hit play):
Really?! This is from an episode of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" and it is supposed to be funny. F-U-N-N-Y.
But,oh no, he is not the only one who posts these flagrant political statements that make me want to puke. They're everywhere...the Pseudos.
Sometimes it makes me think that mamas around the country are not doing their job.
Hey, isn't it a bad idea to talk about religion and politics in public? Why the hell would I do so on a PUBLIC NETWORKING SITE? Can anyone have a proper conversation this way? I confused someone the other day when I was talking about grooming their dog, they thought I meant grooming their nethers! Go figure! Just think about what gets lost in translation when you write about something that inspires a lot of passionate response.
Even my own politics piss me off from time to time. Go figure...
Note From the Blogger:
For dog and vagina lovers out there, I didn't mean to diminish the importance of dog and china grooming by this statement.
But guess what? I don't really care about politics! I grew up in DC, Son (well, actually in the rolling green suburbs of Fairfax County but what's the diff?)!
THIS IS MY HOOD
If there wasn't a janitor's protest on our university quad every week, there was something wrong. More than half of my classmates went on to careers in law, a good portion became lobbyists.
I moved to this shitty town for a reason: to drink, dance, party and raise children (like Mother Teresa).
Here's a little secret to life: enjoy it. Don't try to prove your intelligence by looking down your nose at people and certainly not by berating them over their politics, WHATEVER THEY MAY BE.
And now, an excerpt from my bible, the Tao of Pooh.
In it, Winnie the Pooh is our zen master, or in this case, our Tao master.
"Thirty thousand people were killed today when a jumbo airliner collided over downtown Los Angeles..." the Radio announced.
"What does that tell you about the world?" said Pooh.
"Hmm. You're right." (Click)
"What are the birds saying now?" I asked.
"That it's a nice day," said Pooh.
Well put, Pooh. Well put.
