I believe those were Lamar Alexander’s words this morning on a talk show concerning the topic of the Afghan election. His point was that people who denounce this new election due to problems are like a journalist that might print a story with such a headline. Solid point.
I heard that today at work while I was slaving over shirts. It’s all Bush’s fault; if it weren’t for him, I’d be receiving my weekly stipend that could more than support me by my generous and benevolent government. Instead they’re keeping me down, making me work for my keep. Shame.
Work today was a spectacular event. Laura, the shop manager, brought up the Libertarian party. Seems she heard Badnarik on NPR and deduced that because he didn’t carry a driver’s license””he thinks the government knows too much about him already””that must mean such a statement is part of the Libertarian platform. The way she presented it to me was something close to: “I heard “˜bout the Libertarian party this morning on NPR, those people are crazy. They don’t carry driver’s licenses.” Ah, yes. The ever pensive liberal mind.
Need some more insight? Cue lights. Scene: folding promo shirts for the Coors bike. Pan to Laura: “I’ve never had a Coors. Had a Coors Light once, but after I heard about their ties to the Aryan Nation, didn’t have one since.”
“Really? Well, how do you even further the cause of the Aryan Nation in the United States?”
“Elect George Bush.”
The silence that followed was predestined. Can you even respond to that with, Well, I see where you’re coming from, but…
She then followed that by encouraging me to get my Democratic friends out to vote. I think I should first make an appointment to screen for that massive tumor in her head””that would only be right.
Well you heard her. All my Democrats, holla back. Get out and vote now, before the Republicans change your polling location again. Besides, even if you’re not eligible, if you’re black, you could be disenfranchised.
