So Right

I'm in love with Barack Obama. Not like sexual love. More like an emotional connection. Like when you find someone who is exactly what you want in a leader. Kinda exactly like that. There's this thing where people try to parse his rhetoric as empty promises. Listen to the speech he made yesterday. Honestly tell me that this is just bullshit rhetoric. No this is a black man in America speaking about the state of race relations in America. He is candid. He is clear and concise. And he's fucking brilliant. There's a lot of "he's like a rockstar" and "there's nothing substantive" about him. Really? That's a load of shit. I don't like him because of his singing voice. Or because girls throw their panties at him. Or because he doesn't stand for anything. Look at his fucking website. He lays out his stance on just about every issue that's ever been an issue. The "rockstar" dig comes from the Clinton/McCain camp (way to lump 'em together, Gurf) where the old people can't understand why young people identify with such a rousing leader, and justify their inability as simply a bi-product of his "popularity" contest. He doesn't have any experience in the White House. Well, I mean, Hillary knows where the all the rooms are. That's true. So I guess in a way, she'll be more ready on day one, because she won't have to take the whole tour over again. Damn. Is that what she meant all this time?

In other news, phase two of my "Adventures in Vagranting" begins. No word yet on if Elizabeth Shue has signed on to play the part of "hot babysitter who I always wanted to bone". I'll keep you posted. Get it... man that was terrible.
