A Brief Note On Politics

[rax]

I have basically stayed out of the fray on the US election, as it's
probably obvious from my vegan-biker-dykeness who I am voting for (Obama)
and why (his stated platform agrees with what I want in more places than
McCain's does, even though neither of them is really thrilling). Recent
events, however, have twisted my brain into a pretzel, and I have found
a convenient conspiracy theory to believe so that my mind can get back
into a normal shape. The theory is this: Sarah Palin is actually an
elaborate legal fiction devised by Tina Fey, who is using the 2008
Presidential Election as her project for being jumped into OULIPO.
Neither "John McCain" nor "Sarah Palin" contains the letter e --- screw
Troopergate, I say we immediately demand the extradition of George Perec.
Barack Obama (no e!) was forced to choose JoE BidEn over Hillary Clinton
to show that he stands with the majority of Americans on issues of
tremendous importance, like preventing the take-over-the-world schemes
of absurdist French poets. There we go! Now I can sleep at night.

Obama: Tough on absurdist FrEnch poEts! ChangE AmErica nEEds.

When asked to name a vowel she personally has ever avoided using, Palin responded, "Oh, gosh, you know, basically, in our country's history, I always, I think it is important, with having sought to try any and all of that kind of thing, or not, so, truly, it's crucial to affirm that, and such as."

That's sufficiently believable that I had to go find some text where
she used the letter E before I could exhale. Luckily, it didn't take
too long. :)

NEVER let anybody tell you that you aren't awesome. o.o
