You've heard enough
If you're like me, you've had your fill of the
debates/politics/life in general.
I've actually played it pretty close to the vest because I don't see the value in adding to the noise floor of people whooping and a-hollering* about the election. Age! Lack of Experience! Small town values! Blah blah blah. It's really no different than screaming "I am an asshole and you all must be made aware!" That said, I'm all for free speech. I'm getting off topic.
Anyway, one word keeps jumping out from the McCain/Palin-verse, and that word is "Maverick." Now I don't know about you, but this word has never had a great connotation for me. To me, maverick means either a showboating douchebag who ignores rules (even the important good ones), a shitty mid-70's early malaise-era Ford, or a shitty Jim Garner TV show made into a slightly less shitty Mel Gibson (pre "sugar tits" era) movie.
And last night that word was bandied about like the word "terrorism" gets thrown around at every Bush press conference where they want to remove another civil liberty. So in a fit of infantile aggression (do I have any other moods?) I slapped this lazy lol together:
It sucks, but feel free to pass it along. Although I ask that you use the photobucket link (copy and paste below) because on the odd chance someone with a blog someone reads hotlinks it, I'll be shut down by GoDaddy in mere seconds. That's what you get for discount hosting.
Copy this link, thank you very much:

In case you think the above is being vague, which it probably is - I'm undercaffinated at the moment - what I'm trying to say is: I would rather vote for James Garner or a '72 Ford than an hot-tempered coot and his mean-cheerleader sidekick. You can find out more about why at this link.
*this is a reference to the following scene, which Chris says he is reminded of when Sarah P. starts talking about said Maverick taking shots "from the left and the right - a-whoopin' and a hollerin'" Frankly, I don't think it's nice to make fun of a person's speech impediment. But whatevs.
Okay, enough goofing off. Back to work for me. Huzzah.
