My fellow Americans… this past year has been a tough one for us. We’ve seen many tragedies and hardships fall upon our country, but none as great as the barrage of political ads we’ve been forced to suffer through in these past few months. As a leader in the blogging industry I would just like to extend my condolences for the time lost during commercial breaks. We, as a nation, could have glued our eyes to the likes of quirky Coca-Cola commercials, lizards with British accents, or colored shadow people dancing with iPods. BUT NO! Our arms have been hypothetically twisted into taking in these televised terrors consisting of blue donkeys and red elephants. Fear no more, for this term of tyranny has come to an end. We as Americans are free to once again feed into our glutenous desires and indulge in some good ol’ fashion impulse spending courtesy of your regularly scheduled 30 second corporate commercials.
Before we completely flush the political poop down the porcelain pipe way, I would like to take one last look at this past year. Bear with me, for I will not be placing arguments for or against either party because that is like…. soooo five days ago. I am merely going to highlight some of the finer moments in the chaos we’ve called campaigns.
Clint Eastwood Talks to a Chair
This did not bode well for Republicans. It is my firm belief that if you are over the age of 80 and having conversations with furniture, you should be having your meals delivered on a tray. At this point in Mr. Eastwood’s life, a more applicable quote would be “Go ahead…. Make my bed.” Perhaps when he is playing bingo in the rec room he could relive one of his more famous lines… “Do I feel lucky?”.
The disturbing thing about this scenario is not that Clint Eastwood appeared to have lost a game of musical chairs with an imaginary friend. It is more so the fact that millions of people cheered him on in the process. Supporting the deterioration of one’s mental health is not something commonly practiced among our culture, however this particular instance seems to be a smash hit! Well done Clint, well done! You’ve once again proven that “method acting” delivers the most convincing performance.
Trump’s Twitter Temper Tantrum
Remember when you were seven years old and started potty-training? The concept was new and foreign, and your instincts told you to fight it. Why should you have designated areas for something that occurs so naturally and at any given moment? When this new policy was first implemented by your parents it was only natural for you to cry, scream, and protest! Every argument that came out of your mouth was irrational and had no real facts to back it. You merely argued because you were stubborn and could not bear the thought of your bowel movements being confined to an individual location. While most of you eventually moved on and realized that the authoritative figures forcing this new rule upon were only looking out for your best interests, some of you continued to harbor resentment. The mere fact that you didn’t get your way caused you to lash out at anyone who would listen. You showed your true colors to the world by ranting and raving about how you couldn’t poop when and where you wanted.
This is exactly what happened with Donald Trump moments after President Obama’s victory was announced. Also, Donald Trump is not yet potty-trained.
