We here at Brahsome don’t really need to discuss politics. I mean, we can, but that’s only because we own this s-hole. However, just because I own a bar doesn’t mean I’m going to force you to watch “My Boys” over “ASIP”. But occasionally I might.
And this is one of those times — Brokaw has the call — that we step in. I have no beef with either party; Barack is particularly attractive because, well, Wilco likes him. And call me shallow, but I’m willing to back what Jeff Tweedy likes.
On the other hand … why? Why are people attracted to Obama? First, because he’s a politically intriguing candidate. Secondly because the Maverick, despite his Maverickness, looks a lot like GWB. And finally, because the market is in a goddamn freefall.
Yes, I know these are issues we would normally never cover. In fact, they are issues that we don’t like to cover. But frankly, I’m concerned that we’re all voting on something in a particular way because we dislike whatever is going on right now.
And that’s the biggest problem with America — instead of legitimately expecting a different type of government and new regulations, we freak out when things get all shitty and we decide to vote the other way.
Yes, this is stupid. Yes, this is shitty. But, yes, this is democratic. I don’t want it to change. I just want to make sure that we understand when we all cast our votes sometime in the near future (feel free to email election day reminders to blah@brahsome.com) that promised change doesn’t mean a damn thing.
Or maybe I hope that someone speaking in these debates will quit playing the political chess card of trying to associate X with BUSH and that we can just move on hear whatever they’re going to do in a rational manner that might change the way in which I’m going to vote.
I guess, what I’m saying Pink, is that you should think before you sign that slip for Coach.
