"Guys, where are the fucking balloons??"

Haha. The only two times I've ever heard the f-word on regular television have both been on CNN.

Somehow, the telecast got patched in to the walkie-talkie of the guy that was giving the order to release the balloons and confetti  after Kerry's speech at the DNC. And the balloons weren't coming fast enough. And the dude was pissed. And he didn't know he was being broadcasted by CNN. And CNN didn't, either, apparently. I don't know how that happens...

So. John Kerry: The Good Enough candidate?

I don't know. He's no perfect replica of me, but he seems like an intelligent and capable individual, and it seems like he has excellent character, and it seems like he listens to people and gives thought to their input, and does not make dire decisions without the proper weighing, and he seems like he cares about the average citizen.

So even if he's faking it, he's faking it better than the dreaded incumbent, who does not have a capable bone in his body. (In the future, I suggest that it would be a good criteria to insist that at a minimum, the person who is going to be the president of the United States should at least have gotten straight-A's in high school. AT A MINIMUM, mind you.) (OK, so Dubya probably did get straight A's in high school. Even though it's hard to tell. So alright: what if we said that the president must have the capability to communicate with other human beings?) (BLAM!) 

I think Kerry might just might be the best president we've had in a long, long time.  But that's me, the eternal optimist.

And I guess that only happens if the rest of the country has a election day of uncommon brilliance and decides that a change of leadership might be a good idea. We'll see.

Most of the dumb citizens are too caught up in what party they're in. The whole Republican/Democrat thing is horseshit. Just vote for the better candidate, for fuckssake. You don't have to carry on a conversation with them over coffee every morning or anything. You don't even have to meet them. They just have to be able to administer to the needs of the USA in a somewhat competent manner. For instance, Joe Lieberman isn't a better choice than John McCain just because you're a registered democrat. Unless you really think Joe Lieberman is awesome, I guess. I don't think that, so. So I guess that's why I wrote it.

But how about that Obama(-lama-bing-boom) guy? He's got to be a president, someday.

Hopefully, a president of the United States.

I am up way too late.
