Political Morsels and Other Droppings

I’m baaaaaccccckkkkkkk!!!! I know, I’m like herpes: You think you can get rid of me and just when you think I’m gone, TADAAA!!!! I show back up.   Okay, so I actually finished my undergrad a couple weeks ago. Conferral happens within the next month and I’m already getting things in motion to start on my Master’s either in August or September. Sickening isn’t it? The bad news is that I am not going to be able to post as often as I wish I had the time to do, but the good news is that I will be done with my Master’s in two years.  Of course, I have a feeling that with this election starting to gear up, I will make the time to post.  After all, I would not be doing the name of this site any justice if I did not.

Now, speaking of elections… I believe it is safe to assume that when we all thought Palin was the craziest bitch in politics, someone had to prove that one wrong. Enter, Michelle Bachmann. Yes, we know she considers herself the leader of the teabaggers, but damn is this woman out there.  First of all, signing an agreement stating that, among other things, African-American families would have been better off if they were still enslaved is not something a candidate for any public office should agree to.  To top it off with her and her husband believing that gays can become straight is really out there.  I would dive into her husband, but Jon Stewart did a very good piece on him.

Now, being that I am one of those subhuman gay people… I think Marcus Bachmann compared my peeps to barbarians… I do have to take a moment and bring you to my gay corner for a little gay chat.

I think it’s great that we have another election coming down the pike next year.  Too bad we can’t push off dealing with the candidates until three months prior… just a thought.  Yet, what irritates me is that instead of focusing being federalist or anti-federalist, we have to throw in personal issues such as admonishing gays by signing stupid pledges.  Is the gay community in this country such a threat to the ideals of democracy? Does it really get in the way of Americans living freely? Does anyone else find it a bit ironic that the party that is supposed to be about staying out of the lives of everyday people seems to be really focused on doing just the opposite by dictating that certain individuals are now allowed the same rights and protections due to what happens in the bedroom?  Okay, I just wanted to be sure that it wasn’t just me.

Now, onto other stuff that has no sexual orientation… so to speak.

One event that I do find to be quite interesting is the Rupert Murdoch scandal.  Being that he owns everything Fox, I do wonder if more people will finally realize that Fox News is unfair and imbalanced. Granted, with Glenn Beck off the air, Fox News is a better place, but I still consider it one of the three horsemen when it comes to News.  I do wonder how the conservative crowd who has typically looked at the station for picking the most ignorant candidates will take Fox News will do. By the way, I have heard that Glenn Beck is moving to Texas. If there was ever a time to make that state a country, now’s the time!
