Just a place for fun vids and comics and articles I find bouncing around the series of tubes that are the internets.

Joe the Ploy that's getting old

So with the Joe the Plumber thing going absolutely crazy, along with almost 90% of the electorate, I thought I would add my opinion on the whole thing. I was fairly surprised that it lasted so long after they found out that he lied about his income, intention to buy, company profits, and job. He was worried about taxes which he doesn’t pay and was already a right-wing radio star and poster boy. Since the cost of Sara the Candidate’s-Number-Two’s maintenance came out and was reveled to be $27,000 more expensive than Joe’s house, I figured John the Candidate would drop the subject. But alas he is on a Joe the Plumber tour and driving me up the wall.

I don’t understand why Joe the lying-not-really-a-plumber is such a big deal. He is taken as an example of very American by the McPain-in-the-neck campaign. I don’t think most American’s would make a spectacle of themselves by lying to a national candidate and then not listening to his response to the lie, because, well, it was a lie. A white man in the middle class who does a job is not the quintessential voter anymore. This has long sense passed and doesn’t make McLame seem more in touch at all. In fact, it makes it look like he is even more sheltered than anyone would have thought.

This morning on NPR they were discussing race and who Joe-Sixpack was. Those who support McSame all said he was a regular guy like them, but that is not how I see it. Joe-Sixpack is a worthless, gutless wife-beater who can’t hold a job and lays about the house threatening to beat his children while chugging cheap domestic brews that taste, quite frankly, of piss. Where the idea that he is what every American is is ridiculous and it sticks to the white-man is everyone idea of the electorate. Others who talked on the idea said redneck and hillbilly and country music fan. that is more what I see and I have found that, at least among my friends (college-age, black and white, bipartisan students) this is what they got too.

The idea that in this vast society the entirety or even the majority of the electorate can be summed up in one person is ridiculous. Even a single family can have people of all creeds, races, socioeconomic levels, and ideas. Picking a single person as a representative, especially when he (it is always a he even though there are more female voters) is made up. Barak the Front-Runner has not chosen a person to be a representative because he understands the vast multicultural society that makes up the country he wants to lead. The point is that John the Coot needs to straighten up and stop playing this crazy idea of all people being Joe. I am not a Joe and never want to be.

FYI- Women’s “health” *smug smirk* is an issue and making fun f it is really not a good idea.

The Move to Primates

Primates (this includes Apes which includes Humans, Homo Sapian Sapian)- This is a gill-less, organic, RNA, DNA, protein based metabolic, metazoic, nucleic, diploid, bilaterally symmetrical, endothermic, digestive, tripoblastic piscatant, duderostone, collimate with a spinal cord and 12 cranial nerves connecting to a limbic system with a large cerebral cortex with a reduced olfactory region inside of a jawed skull with specialized teeth including canines and premolars, forward oriented, fully enclosed optical orbits in a single temporal fenestrate attached to a vertebrate, hind-leg dominant, tetrapodal skeleton with a sacral pelvis, clavicle, and wrist and ankle bones and having lungs, tear ducts, body-wide hair follicles, lacteal mammories, opposable thumbs, and keratinized dermas and kitinous nails on all five nails on all four extremities in addition to an embryonic development in amniotic fluid leading to a placental birth and a highly social lifestyle. -AronRa

Just a point for those who don't understand evolution. Each of these steps had its own inividual step in the evolutionary process.
