Bizarro World

Sorry I haven’t updated in a while. With the roommate out, helping the parents and being a lazy ass it can get a little hectic.

So at a recent McCain campaign rally the crowd became so worked up when the Senator mentioned Obama they started yelling “traitor” and “terrorist.” McCain did the decent thing and condemned such talk but holy shit! People are losing their freaking minds.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen people lose their heads like they have during the run-up to this election. I’ve seen and heard so many hypocritical, ridiculous and insane things I’m starting to wonder if I’ve stepped into some sort of Bizarro world.

Below are just a few examples of what I’m talking about:

NPR had an old lady on the other day who said she was a life long Democrat who has never considered herself racist, but she’s not sure she’s going to vote Democrat this time because Obama would put “his people” first.

And who can forget the Republicans who’ve lambasted Obama for not having enough experience and then embracing Palin.

Or the Republicans who’ve lambasted Obama for not having enough experience even though they voted George W. Bush into office.

Then there was the female Democrats who are so upset about Clinton not being named the Democratic candidate they're voting for the McCain/Palin ticket.

We also have the evangelical females who believe a woman’s place is in the home caring for children but are championing Palin.

And there are the masses at MCain campaign events booing government regulation, when McCain says that deregulation is partly to blame for the country’s housing crisis and subsequent economic downturn.

There are also the Hilary Clinton critics who told her to stop whining about her media coverage but are sick of the liberal media’s coverage of Governor Sarah Palin. On the same page, we can’t forget the Palin critics telling her to stop crying about the media coverage when they cried about the coverage of Clinton .

We also have all the crazy things each candidate has said, like John McCain saying the economy is “fundamentally sound” and Obama saying the surge of troops in Iraq is not working. (Again I would highly recommend that everyone research the truth in each candidate’s words by hitting up PolitiFact.com and FactCheck.org.)

Still, I think the oddest thing I’ve seen is the independently produced Hilary Clinton campaign video: Hilary for You and Me. This, in my opinion, is why she was not chosen as the Democratic candidate. Through no fault of her own, I believe this video actually will cause people who see her in the street to run up and punch her in the face.

The video above is enough giggity for today.
