As the Presidential Campaign Turns

What a summer it has been (so far) and as far as comedy goes this has been a very fertile year what with the ongoing presidential race. What a race it has been too! I mean, can it get any nastier? McCain's ad showing pictures of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears along with Obama and trying to show a parallel of their popularity was pretty low. Wow. Is McCain that jealous? Why not a Barack ad showing images of Hitler (or more of Bush) and make similar comparisons to McCain? Too harsh? But the one ad where McCain blames Obama for the high price of gasoline really is an outrageous accusation. Does he think we’re that stupid to think that one guy is responsible for the escalating price at the pumps? How insane. If I was Barack’s campaign manager I would start running pictures of Vietnam with McCain’s voice playing over the images where he says that we stay in Iraq as long as it takes. And I’m a registered Republican still! Granted, I have been an Independent for quite some time now but stay registered with the GOP so that way I can continue to get their newsletters so that way I can get ideas writing more jokes based on the propaganda. Don’t get me wrong I have an equal amount of disdain for Democrats too. The ONLY reason I voted for all Dems back in November of ’06 was that they promised to bring an end to this war and of course they buckled under the pressure and haven’t done anything either. And you wonder why there are so many Independents and distrust for our government. I haven’t give up hope though. I still believe if enough voices are heard those who continue to get fat from our suffering will be voted out of office. I have to admit I have never been this political in a long, long time but if you just sit idly by and remain quiet and don’t do anything to change the system then you have no right to just bitch and moan. Oh yeah, speaking of the high price of gas I was driving along Highway 50 when one of those gas guzzling Hummers cut me off. Rather than flip the guy off I just drove along side of him and when he rolled down his window said, "A Hummer huh? Wow. Why don't you just wear a hat that says 'I have a little dick?'" She was pissed.....
