Barack Obama was here in town speaking the other day, to a crowd of 75,000. Just a couple of days later, John McCain also was here in town speaking, to a crowd of 6,000. I just thought that was funny.
Obama still ba-rocks and McCain still, um ... is a dick. Okay. That's the extent of my political rumination today. Although I may be totally off on both counts, I wouldn't know. I honestly paid zero attention to realpolitik today so I have no clue what might have happened really. I have other more personal and most disconcerting things on my mind. I'm kind of creeped out. I have a stalker ... don't laugh. I really do. I think his name is Mike but I'm not even sure about that. He was probably lying when I asked, whatever the hell it was he said, but that's what I think I remember. I was drunk at the time. Admittedly my fault. I'm an idiot sometimes, no new tale to tell there. I don't recall exactly how I met the guy in the first place - it was a couple of years ago - but I do know that I willingly gave up my address. With directions, no less. Just in case. Damn the hooch. What was I thinking? Anyway, so here's the deal. I had him over a time or two ea...
*hee hee* "Ditto." :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is absolutely hilarious that with our nation in the shape it is in 6,000 of the blind faithful could still muster the enthusiasm to show up to hear McBush. (I betcha Palin would have drawn a larger crowd - she's a lot easier on the eyes and much more charming to boot.) Can it be more clear that Americans are ready to try something different now?
ReplyDeleteUsually crowds scare me because of the sea of white faces. Or if the crowd is in China, the sea of Chinese faces. Or if the crowd is in Mexico, the sea of Mexican faces.
ReplyDeleteThere is something unsettling about seeing people who all look alike and think alike in one area.
And then we have the Obama rallies. Wow. A sea of different faces and different philosophies (Democrats and Republicans) who share a common goal: restoring America.
It doesn't get any more beautiful.
Doug - I betcha you're right about the Palin factor. Seems to be his only draw these days, although even she seems to be as of late helping to tighten his noose mostly.
ReplyDeleteFan - Yeppers, we have quite a mix around here, which is a beautiful thing, I agree. Missouri is apparently a swing state and usually goes red, but at least here in my county we're blue through and through and very diverse.
