too much political turmoil in my head, sorry
So, I watched just a smidgen of the veep debate. And in his factual zealotry, Cheney says "just check factcheck.com -- you'll find the truth there." Well, it's really factcheck.org, so today I went to see what the .com was, and I found it super amusing.
To me, as I think of friday, Bush's campaign is the ugly font campaign. It's like the group of kids in 6th-ish grade who don't yet know how to use fonts correctly, so they fill their projects with too many fonts, and ugly ones at that. (I was one of those kids). I think of Karen Hughes and Karl Rove and the others, and they aren't really concenred with font-conscious voters, because the font-conscious voters drink lattes and drive volvos. But in any case, that's the substanceless side of this election.
New idea for a reality TV show: follow around the US Trade Representative as he plunders the world for trade deals.
Alright, this is a new low as far as posting to this blog goes. On a personal note, I was talking severa; friends about this "Huckabees" movie, and we're all in agreement: YOU DO NOT CALL ANY MOVIE AN EXISTENTIAL COMEDY. You alienate normal people and you alienate your pseudointellectuals.
And so on that note, I need to find just the right flavor of pseudointellectuals to make friends with. And with that preposition, I end this entry.
