props and thoughts

no one cares what i think. so, i do not often choose to write about anything important. i am a little too irreverent and informal to handle the real issues of the day. such as the murder of Natalia Estemirova, a fearless human rights activist from russia. she was kidnapped from her home in chechnya and found in the woods of neighboring ingushetia with gun shots to the chest and head. there is nothing funny about that, or the fact that this is apparently the norm for brave, outspoken activists in russia. props to them.
but who would i give props to for something that is funny? obama. i give him props because i think i know why he’s our president. ridicule.
think about it. if you were a young boy growing up in hawaii (he may have kenyan blood, but he was born in hawaii; making him an american; end of story), where island after island is loaded with surfers and beach babes, you would hate being called names too. there is no way he went through life without hearing names like “slobama”, and “nomama” and “bakack!”(like a chicken). but while lesser men would balk at this kind of ridicule, our fearsome little slobama turned it in to fuel.
making his way to the mainland and conquering columbia and harvard universities, two schools i could never get in to, and successfully dominating the illinois and u.s. senates, two things i would never want to get in to, he became our first black president. i am sure he is now thinking to himself, that’ll show ‘em. that’ll show ‘em reeeaaall good(because that’s how he talks without a teleprompter).
but hopefully that’s not all he thinks about. he has a difficult term ahead of him. he is currently still pro baby murder, and he is playing a game of craps with our economy. hopefully he wins. he is only about an eighth of the way through his term in office, so there is still a chance for all that hope and change to work out for us, and him. we shall see. but to our friend, slobama, i wish you luck. maybe all the ridicule you are receiving will just be more fuel to your fire.
(haha, like he will ever read this. or like anyone else will ever read this, besides kerry and bryan, my two faithful readers. thanks guys. and i hope you enjoyed my political post. totally unintentional. this is just where the keyboard took me.)
