Two Years
i will admit to feeling a bit despondent about the presidential election.
regardless of what the man is actually like, my impressions of kerry are as follows:
he's lame
he has no real ideas
he lacks charisma
that's pretty crappy since i read left-leaning periodicals, don't watch tv news, and am inclined to feed gwb to rabid stoats.
if i feel that way, and i'm pro-kerry, what about all those swing voters?
it is days like today that i find myself surfing the web for information on permanent residency requirements for other countries. not-america kind of other countries.
two years, baby. then sometimes only as little as another one to apply for citizenship. in just three years i can sit around the bar and say, "stupid americans! who could elect gwb for TWO TERMS? they must be dumber than oil-packed tuna."
what? am i supposed to vow to stay and fight? forget it. you elect him, you're on your own.
i'm gonna be japanese. or panamanian. or micronesian.
maybe even australian? could i be australian? would i have to listen to midnight oil? wear khaki shorts and wrestle giant salt water crocs? drink *ugh* pilsner?
i'm not sure it's worth it. i mean gwb is like a potato with ears, but pilsner? and i don't know a damn thing about australian politics. what if i move there and john howard or whomever is prime minister is worse?!? they did just vote to retain loyalty to the Queen of England.
that's retarded.
a) Australia is connected to England because England decided it would make a nice prison
b) the Queen rules England because god picked her. Or cause she was born lucky. But really, god says she's the queen and who are you to question god's taste?
c) two words: King Charles
anyway. that's what i'm thinking about today. being un-american.
for the love of god people. if you aren't registered to vote go do it now.
if you're going to be that way about australia then you don't deserve to be a citizen. phooey to you!
have you been voting in the australian elections?
you have to love men at work. and eat vegemite.
