Do not fuck this up, America

[burntcopper]

We gave you to the world to provide entertainment for everyone else, and you've been terribly entertaining in the past two years in your very strange process of Democracy.

However, for once, we're trusting you not to fuck it up this time.

We have attack weasels. I have a gazillion surgical and otherwise images at my fingertips that render modblog tamer than a WI meeting (you think I'm kidding? Two of the journals I work on have the company nickname 'things men have done to their penises/stuck up their arses'). The contents of your pants and hindbrains are NOT SAFE.

If nothing else, VOTE FOR THE PRETTY. You're on lj. Most of you are in it for the pretty. FOLLOW YOUR MOST SHALLOW INSTINCTS.

Tomorrow, we as a nation celebrate anti-terrorist/burn-the-catholics/stupidity-of-entering-parliament-with-honest-intentions day. We will be crazed on alcohol, sugar and food poisoning, and willingly standing around in the freezing cold, high on the joys of society-approved arson.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH GUNPOWDER WE HAVE AT OUR FINGERTIPS?

Or as I like to put it: a Thierry Henry move-alike (I'm not joking, Obama moves like the divine Thierry who I didn't realise was a footballer for *years - I thought Renault had just hired this amazingly gorgeous Frenchman for their campaigns) or a zombie hamster?

This is one occasion where zombies do not improve everything.

On the VP front it's even easier.

There's a choice between a candidate who believes that the government has the right to interfere with my bodily integrity due to their beliefs and a candidate who believes that the government should intervene if my bodily integrity is threatened.

As a feminist, this US election is a no-brainer. I'd vote for the team that has the candidate who brought in the anti-domestic violence legislation.

yep. Let's vote for the person whose daughter is living proof that abstinence education doesn't work! And has stated in public that anyone raped by a family member should keep the baby! (my mum works for the Pru. None of the risk assessment people would give McCain life insurance with his history.)

Mmmm. Have you *seen* the photo of him playing pool? http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2008-05/38782590.jpg
also, gratuitous beachwear shot :

The pool one definitely... he's one of those men who looks *good* in a shirt and tie.

Mmmmm. Mmmmmm.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

It's *completely* wrong to be leching over a major politician, damnit! The universe must be about to end!

You can shoot me when I start talking about "that attractive David Cameron", mmkay?

I'm going straight from staying up all night drinking and watching the election to staying up all night drinking and blowing shit up. \o/ Dual citizenship rocks.

Very funny post, thank you. :-)

Not THAT funny, unfortunately.

If we have a liberal president in office, where on earth will UK political comedians go to get cheap jokes? Have a little concern for the economic wealfare of your fellow citizens.

Obama has already scored the moniker, 'Bob the builder' with UK satirists for his, "Yes, we can!" speech [ggg].
