It was a four month-long kick in the nuts.
I am just glad it is over so the country can heal… and the swelling can begin to go down…
I can finally stop doing posts about politics and go back to doing important posts about super heroes and Conan the barbarian and chapters of my novel. We can all move on.
But I can’t believe how close we came to making a huge mistake. If you are a woman and you voted for Romney, you should be ashamed of yourself. In fact, if you are a human being and you have a cerebral cortex, you should be ashamed of yourself if you voted for him. He doesn’t give a crap about you. Just look closely one more time at this face…
How can a smile be so insincere and yet so pompous and arrogant at the same time?
Now Romney can go back to doing what he does best. Destroying American businesses. Looting their funds and then selling off the parts, like some kind of spider sucking the juices from its victim and then dropping the dried husk to the ground below, still entangled in the webs of deceit. Maybe he can buy some Mormon companies, like the ones that make all the magic underpants on little magic looms, and suck them dry… oh… wait… he would never do that to other Mormons. Because THAT would be wrong.
Back when they opened the huge… and quite beautiful… Mormon temple in San Diego, my family went on the day they opened up the temple to non believers. Before they blessed it and turned it into their secret clubhouse. They made us all wear little paper booties when we went inside, so we didn’t infect the place with our unbeliever cooties. And they didn’t let us see any of the really good, secret stuff. Because, you know, we are all just sinners who are going to go to hell no matter what we think. Pretty ballsy for a religion that was just made a handful of decades ago.
I wonder what his wife is going to do now? I can’t imagine her doing laundry, washing out the families’ magic boxer shorts. They must have a maid to do that. Does it have to be a Mormon maid? I think it would be horrible to have your magic underpants defiled by a non believer. That would be the worst kind of stain, the kind of skid mark that just can’t be fixed.
Okay, sorry, had to get all that off my chest. I am done with politics for a while.
Pouring My Art Out 
over here in UK, i think i found one person that preferred Romney to Obama. Even the BBC was celebrating when Obama won. But then even the extreme right of british politics sometimes doesn’t feel as right wing as the republicans, so the idea of Romney being in power in America would have been terrifying. We actually I have, and i’m not kidding here, a cardboard cutout of the Obamas in the school library, with a sign on it saying “we did it!”
I love the republicans whole idea that Obama just keeps apologizing for America and we should never do that.Like it is wrong to ever admit a mistake and learn from it. Like just talking to other countrys is wrong. We should just drop bombs on them.
well done guys…..sort of….you got there in the end….i heard on the radio a little while back that it seemed the whole world – except for china – thought obama should win; it was only the americans who didn’t seem to get it…it’s kinda what makes you guys so special….that and the “world” series….and trying to counteract concussion by redesigning football helmets…..george w bush can obviously never be forgiven…..but you have vegas, which is as close to a magical land as you can get
We are a weird people of many contradictions.
that is putting it mildly….says he who has no real idea of how we’re viewed by anyone else!
Ha.
“How can a smile be so insincere and yet so pompous and arrogant at the same time?
Oh, how quickly you have forgotten our former fearless leader George W.?
What an insincere and yet so pompous and arrogant smile he had all at the same time?
I must still be in denial.
Me too, done with politics for a while, on to bigger things like the countdown to 12/21/12 and whether or not I should risk bankrupting us by going on a huge spending spree, because what if the world doesn’t end, am I gonna be in trouble?
Just do it. At least you end up with stuff no matter what happens.
Oh good, I appreciate your support. Now on to the wish list, nothing is too grand for a Supreme Ruler!
sigh
The sigh of resignation; I recognize and endorse that sigh.
Oh lawd, give me strength.
Hmmm can’t say I don’t disagree with you but keep in mind not all Mormons are evil. I’m very friendly with a few and they are some of the nicest, smartest, funniest people I have met. I think what it comes down to is more people are suffering than not. One day I hope we can all vote unanimously for a Republican candidate because it would mean we were all happy millionaires.
I don’t doubt that they are nice people. But as an institution, they do believe that only they are going to heaven. They aren’t alone in this. It is one of the things that I don’t like about organized religion.
Oh yeah but shouldn’t they believe that? If you’re a Yankees fan shouldn’t you believe the rest of the teams suck and are stupid for rooting for them? I think religion is good for a lot of people. It only crosses boundaries when they invade people who don’t want to get involved’s lives. I don’t know much about Mitt Romney but anyone who wants as much power as he does probably is evil in some way.
Elections seem to be more about religion than anything else now. Romney’s a Mormon so I’m not voting for him! Obama’s a Muslim so I’m not voting for him! America’s “problem” if you want to call it that is we have so many more options than anywhere else in the world. We have the freedom of religion and a lot of people choose to express it. It’s like the old movie The Warriors. The only way to solve this problem would be to take away our freedom of religion and that ain’t no good.
Warriors… come out to play-ay-ay…
Irrelevant now but over here on the eastern shore of the pond we were praying that you guys didn’t make a big mistake. So glad it all ended happily (for another four years anyway).
Enjoy getting back to the real writing – we need the superheroes because there aren’t enough of the real ones.
