Roll Out The Poll


It's that time of year again where we see signs and commercials telling us to vote in the upcoming election for either Tastycrat Jack Johnson or Fingerlician John Jackson. Then we are bombarded by their arguments on whose three-cent titanium tax goes too far or doesn't go too far enough. In addition to these two main opponents there are a variety of groups ranging from the Green Party to the Brain Slug Party. The Voter Apathy Party to the AntiSocialists. And the National Ray-Gun Association to the Dudes For The Legalization For Hemp.



Politics are funny. Politicians are people like you and I, but with two key differences: 1)We get to choose if they sound smart or not, and 2) They make us want to annoy the crap out of everyone else. This can vary from religious views to personal views and anywhere in between. One rather hilarious thing that comedians and politicians have in common is that they share their point of view on everything and it definitely influences what we think of them. We always hope for the best, but there are slip-ups. Maybe not as bad as Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina, but still pretty bad.


The second problem, overly discussing our favorite politicians, is a lot like LolCatz and memes now in the sense that we keep throwing them out there long after the point is lost. Sure, it's funny to Haz Cheezburgers, but it is kind of a boner-killer when your lover goes up to you asks to Haz hawt sexy tyme right meow...trust me, I know. I'm glad that there is someone up there saying how they have opinions even if they are ones I don't agree with. The point is that we don't have to all reiterate them to everyone else to prove how right or wrong that person is. Our freedom of speech can sometimes lead to hysteria of ridiculous proportions. If you don't believe me, try listening to a people chatting in a game of Warcraft sometime.


Just Remember: It's cool to have opinions, but be realistic that other people have them too. You can discuss them, but you may not change them and there is no reason to get upset about.
