Boxes
While watching the democratic debate yesterday, I was trying to simultaneously figure out:
1) how there can be gay republicans
2) why [name removed to protect the innocent] thinks 'bagels' is potentially a good name for gay bloggers
3) why Ted Koppel was avoiding so many key topics
Luckily, he kept getting called on it (especially towards the end) which just ended up being really funny. Special props go to Carol Moseley Braun - who had to stand on a very small box the entire debate to make her appear as tall as the other candidates. When I run for president, I am going to refuse to stand on a little box (not that I would need to), and I will not allow anyone else to stand on a little box. The days of the little boxes are over. OVER I tell you.
The one thing of which I was sure by the end of the debate yesterday was the fact that all of the candidates are indeed crazy. Given the state of the world ... given the state of the US ... who in his/her right mind would want to run this country? And really, given their insanity, who can we trust? I've heard it all before ... 'fix the environment, fix healthcare, fix the economy, fix special interest contributions' ... but when it comes down to it, who really follows through on any of this stuff? It reminds me of a high school campaign speech I heard once that went something like this, "Hi, you've already heard from the other candidates for president of the senior class - but who really gives a damn about what they say they are going to do. No one follows through on any of that stuff anyway. Me? I'm going to eat a live goldfish right here on this stage. I'm a 'DO'er. I'll get things done. [insert him pulling a flapping goldfish from a plastic bag of water, dropping it down his throat, and swallowing] Vote for me." Incidentally, he won by a landslide.
