My father always says…
“If you’re young and vote Republican, you have no heart. And if you’re old and vote Democrat, you have no brain”.
I’m not sure if he actually coined this phrase, but I’ll give him credit for it. And it turns out this is the exact reason why we have our new president, because of the young voters. It’s exciting to see a generation that has been called worthless deciding who the president is. Love this country.
Enough politico chatter, let’s get to how insane people are acting today.
My favorite of all the freakshows was the McCain supporter that was crying at her desk yesterday. She also attempted to explain to me how Sarah Palin will be the president in 2012, without a doubt. If that happens, I told her, I’ll be living in Canada.
There is also the young gentleman who comes into the office with chants of ‘GObama’ and a company-wide email inviting anyone and everyone to a PrObama (his words, not mine) happy hour after work. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again; please don’t speak politics or religion in the office, because no one cares about your beliefs.
The tough part about that rule is that the election is all anyone can talk about these days, and rightfully so. When we’re 80 years old we will look back on the things that happened in our lives, and November 4th, 2008 will be one of those days. It’s pretty freaking awesome. Nevertheless, you still can’t talk about it. Some people take this election seriously and if your opinion differs with theirs, then shit is going to go down.
The thing I’m most excited about with the presidency is to see what happens to Bush after his term runs its course. Obviously he hates his job right now and can’t wait to leave, and it seems that he will disappear from the public eye once he leaves the White House. But a big part of me wants him to be everywhere. I want him to do commercials. I want him to act in movies. I want him to host his own late night talk show. Of all the talents the guy lacks, he is quite hysterical when he wants to be. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait till he’s out of power, but what if he’s a really talented guy that simply took the wrong job. I know we’ve all done the same. Shit, I’m doing it now with this job.
For the rest of this week if anyone in your office attempts to talk politics with you don’t let them. Stand your ground and explain to them that politics are a private matter and you won’t be bullied into giving an opinion. Then get a Visa ready in case you need to move to Canada in four years. Seriously, I hear Montreal is pretty badass.
