something a little different this time around. today i write not about bulgaria, but about politics instead. a heated subject indeed, but after reading yet another pretentious blog about voting and politics, i can't bite my tounge any longer! every day my "friends" on facebook and myspace write some pompous little blurb about the candidates or the upcoming election. the sad thing is that it's always some low blow... pretty much never about the issues.
and i guess i'm tired of everyone ripping me to shreds for watching fox news. or being conservative. or things of that nature. whatever happened to agreeing to disagree? can't we respect each other's opinions? and even if the channels i watch are biased, don't you think yours are too?? has there ever been such a thing as an unbiased media or talkshow? be honest people. and here i feel as if i must defend fox news. even if most of the people working there are probably conservative, they always have someone representing both sides.... be it democrat and republican commentators, a defense lawyer and the prosector, etc. i usually just try to avoid the subject of politics altogether, because i know people who don't agree with me will undoubtedly "think less of me".... even though they ironically consider themselves "open-minded."
lastly, i am sooooo over celebrities! the majority of them don't even know what they are talking about, they simply go along with whatever is "in." case in point: lindsay lohan. now i love mean girls as much as the next person... hell, i even like a few of her songs. but lindsay, please shut up. her recent blog on myspace (which will undoubtedly influence millions of young girls) was bashing sarah palin. the end was especially mature when she quoted pamela anderson, saying "sarah palin can suck it." that's lovely. the majority of her blog was a rant against palin for being against gay marriage. i guess lindsay is now the self-proclaimed voice of the gay community since she's been a lesbian for all of ten minutes. and who knows how long that will last. then, their's bill maher. i don't think i've ever heard a more elitist, arrogant man in my life. he recently appeared on jon stewart's show to talk about his new movie, religulous. maher thinks palin is "scary," because "she actually believes what she says she believes in." jon stewart made the arguement, to be fair, that obama is a very religious person also. bill maher followed that statement with, "i hope he's lieing. i hope he's just saying what the people want to hear." now these quotes are practically vebatim. so let me get this straight bill.... you hope obama is lieing? you hope he's just saying what people want to hear? i mean, if he lies about that... how can i believe anything he says? what about the rest of his platform? is that just what people want to hear too? and sarah palin..... she's bad for actually being true to her principles? bill maher, you sir, are an idiot.
why is it that the loudest people are the most ignorant? i'm just ready for the election to be over so i don't have to hear anyone else's unsolicited thoughts. guess what facebook/myspace friends... nobody cares. i will thank these ridiculous people for one thing though... inspiring me to cast my absentee ballot. i know georgia will definatey be a red state, but i should always do my patriotic duty. i'll let my voice be heard through action at the polls... not through various propoganda that no one even asked for in the first place.
