Drag Show


Oh me, oh my. What a dud! I at least expected a bit of unearned grandiloquence, a little bit of the old upward, onward, better, faster, bigger, hotter, harder, yeah! Instead we got a subliterate word soup that took thirty minutes to say what could have been said in thirty seconds. The poor liberals don't know what to do. March? Run a primary challenge? I imagine the entire electoral base of the Democratic Party pouting miserably into its soup, a spitting image of Claire Danes in the My-So-Called Life years: "God, Dad, you just make me want to die!"

Anyway, I think we can safely say that this outcome was as predictable as tides and sunsets. Plus ça change, motherfuckers.

I'm saying if he knows I'm a fuck-
up, then why does he still leave me
in charge of getting back his wife?
Because he fucking doesn't want her
back, man! He's had enough! He no
longer digs her! It's all a show!
But then, why didn't he give a shit
about his million bucks? I mean, he
knew we didn't hand off his briefcase,
but he never asked for it back.

You didn't think I'd roll outta here naked, did you?

I really want to give in, IOZ, but I'm just resigned to the fact that it can't possibly work.

Arthur, we were out by the hotel pool last night?

I dropped off the money exactly as per... look, man, I've got certain information, all right? Certain things have come to light. And, you know, has it ever occurred to you, that, instead of, uh, you know, running around, uh, uh, blaming me, you know, given the nature of all this new shit, you know, I-I-I-I... this could be a-a-a-a lot more, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, complex, I mean, it's not just, it might not be just such a simple... uh, you know?

Resignation to the fact that it can't possibly work is exactly what giving in to IOZ entails, even if we're talking about anarcho-utopianistivism whathaveyou.

Also, is it me or was he confusing the Taliban with Al-Qaida in his speech?

NutellaonToast said...

I think the part that's just use is the silly little nothing that there's a difference. Duh! Our enemeries are our enemieres

obama's realism is the reason i'm glad he's president ... would you have preferred he employ all the neocon euphemisms about freedom and whatnot? and maybe he should have worn a bomber jacket like W the warrior prince?

i'm a furriner (folks are from a country that's been colonized by almost every western industrialized "democracy" there is). with that predicate laid let me assure you that the aforementioned neocon euphemisms and condescension is what furriners hated the most about bush. obama's ruthless realism is to be admired.

Enron said...
