This Week in Blackness - "Obama: The Last Airbender" & other silly ideas

It's like Elon James read my mind.  It still amazes me that this country is this close to possibly voting the Republicans back into office.  *holds index finger and thumb a scant millimeter apart*  Really, America?  After eight years of Bush (yes, I'm invoking his name again) and the hell that the GOP put us through (and to some extent is still putting us through), you really want to put them back in charge?  These are the same group of intolerant jerks that are so good at telling us what they hate (the president being at the top of the list, of course), but can never quite get around to telling us what they're actually for (besides tax cuts for the rich, the inexplicable need to police people's bedrooms and wombs, and a burning desire to see President Obama's birth certificate). 

Are Americans actually considering putting the crazy likes of Christine O'Donnell and Sharron Angle anywhere within sniffing distance of the Senate?  Are we suffering from collective amnesia?  Are we really that idiotic?  Unfortunately, the answer may very well be, "Why yes...yes we are."

Good god...it boggles the mind!  The absolute absurdity that has become American politics confounds, angers and completely creeps me the hell out all at the same time.  If Americans vote the Republicans back into power, they will definitely get what they vote for...and not in the feel good, puppies and kittens kind of way either. 

The problem is, they'll be taking me with them.  And I don't want to go.
