But I do have a few things to talk about. Like for instance the fact that my mother keeps sending me political jokes. Unfortunately she gets her political jokes from her father and her friend Ryan who both have political views on the other side of mine. I mean I am not the biggest fan of Obama. (Sorry, but I’m not.) But I’m not a fan of those kinds of jokes no matter who they’re about. Mostly cause I don’t find them funny.

It doesn’t matter, Obama, Dubya, Clinton, Kennedy, Lincoln, Adams, that guy who died in the bath tub. It’s not that I think that presidents are sacred and should be above being made fun of. It’s just most of the jokes that I have heard about presidents are whiny. Especially those written by their detractors.

Take for instance this one I got from my mom the other day, someone actually bastardized Green Eggs and Ham to be anti-Obama. Sure, why don’t we just whine about the president and his liberal-socialist-commie agenda not to mention ruining Green Eggs and Ham for people, rather than, you know, working to change things. So you don’t like Obama’s politics, do something.

But the thing I think irritates me most is this: Obama probably wouldn’t have gotten elected if it hadn’t been for George W. Bush. And Bush probably wouldn’t have gotten elected if not for Bill Clinton, Clinton for Bush, Bush for Reagan, Reagan for Carter and so on and so on and so on. And even Washington wouldn’t have been elected if not for King George, so really, politics are very reactionary.

I’m not convinced that the country would be any better if John McCain had been elected and until you can prove to me with cold hard facts that it would, I would just as soon not hear about it… Bitch that may make me.

I think the last time the US had a good political climate we’d just descended into an ice age, everything with moderate intelligence had fucking died and everything else was just scrambling to keep their fuzzy asses alive. Deal with it!

Now, on the one hand this is me and my view on the world, which I am the first to admit is as small minded and bias as anyone else. But at least I admit it.

Maybe, though, I should cut my grandfather some slack after all the man has a terminal disease. He’s gonna die and if whining about Obama gets him through the day, then maybe he should whine, I’m sure that watching everything I had worked for and wanted for my country go down the drain because of what I view as bad policies by the current administration and I was unlikely to survive to see it get better, I’d be grumpy too.

You, however, will never convince me that there isn’t a better way. Really, lay off green eggs and ham…
