Baron Samedi Reads This Blog! I'm FAMOUS!
Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. First order of news...
Thanfully, Europe has
rejected Osama bin Laden's proposed 'truce'. A wise decision, considering Osama's back-stabbing nature. And the fact that he's just a big, bad meanie.
And now, for the bad news. It seems the NRA has decided to make their own news channel!!! I kid you not. You never know, could end up being a reputable news source. As long as they don't hire any Bill O'Reilly-clones, or have a FOX-esque abundance of commercial breaks.
Speaking of the NRA, according to a regularly-scheduled news update from ABC News this morning, Vice President Dick Cheney is apparently attending an NRA convention. It's pretty discomforting when you're in the middle of two wars (Terror and Iraq 2.0, for those of us not paying attention) and you've got a trigger-happy VP...
That's it for news. However, I do have a bit of humor. No more than fifteen minutes ago, sitting at the breakfast table, I learned yet another aspect of my grandmother's political ideology. For once, no religion involved! Basically, here's how it went down.
I brought up the subject of NRA News, which somehow caused her to respond by telling me that the country should be prepared, should the terrorists decide to invade. We apparently have to learn how to defend ourselves from any invaders. Wow.
Now, my grandmother is by no means insane. She's just... jingoistic and zealous TO THE MAX˛. Fortunately, her constant pro-Bush rhetoric and constant reiteration of the Truth have given me a reason to contemplate her reasoning, and I've come to this conclusion; fearmongering, maybe? The whole WWII-era propaganda, Red-scare sort of thing. It's the only explanation I can come up with for blind jingoism. >_<
Now, to get back to the news, I'm watching Good Morning America, and what do I see/hear? The Bush Administration bashing Kerry... because he speaks French. WOW. Fortunately, this can mean only one thing- Bush might not get into office. I mean, once a candidate has to resort to French-bashing to 'debase' a rival... Whooboy. (And now, it's time to turn from news to my political stance.)
"America, John Kerry speaks French. He's no American. VOTE BOOOOOOOOOOSH!"
Apparently, John Kerry speaking French and having a cousin in France is a big no-no. However, Bush speaking Spanish and having ties to fervent Reconstructionist evangelism is perfectly fine, and raising your eyebrows at that is just un-American! And yes, people have called me "un-American".
