I really like talking about election politics. It's fun, and although President Bush has definitely proved that it's not harmless, it's almost painless to talk about while it's happening. It's like smoking pot. Or alcoholism. Politically, everyone's doing it! And it's a lot of fun to watch candidates struggle and fight to outmanuver and outtalk each other. It's like reality television. With alcoholism. And pot. Without on-strike screenwriters. And with the screenwriters on-strike, I don't really have much to watch anymore other than the election.
Masi Oka for President '08!! If he fucks up, he'll just save the cheerleader all over again!
So anyways, the very latest in electoral politics. The New York Times ups the hype about Michael Bloomberg possibly running as a Independent candidate in 2008. This is really good. Politically, Bloomberg is the current Mayor of New York. Financially, he's the 38th richest man in America. He's like...a billionaire. multiplied by 11. Plus another half a billion. He's so rich, he doesn't even wanna get paid for being mayor. He's on the NYC payroll as the only person who works for a dollar a year. He's so rich, he doesn't even live in the Mayor's Palace (aka Gracie Mansion). He lives in his EVEN MORE BALLIN' home, on E. 79th St. To his credit, he takes the subway to work. AFTER HE PAVES THE RAILS WITH GOLD.
More importantly, Bloomberg is a lifetime Democrat. Who switched to the Republican Party when he wanted to run for Mayor. Who then left the Republican Party after after he had won Mayor twice. Currently making him an Independent. Which leads the way to his possibly running as an Independent in 2008 and fucking up all political estimates with the Republicans and Democrats.
Did I mention he DROPPED 160 million dollars on his mayoral races? Obama and Clinton put together barely have raised 160 million. And he might just DROP another BILLION (BILLION with a B, just to emphasize) for his presidential race. Which still leaves him with 10.5 BILLION DOLLARS. He's so ballin', I really do just wanna kiss his ass and see what kind of money bags erupt from my lips.
In other news that you probably already knew...
The Wall Street Journal that yes, yes, the Democratic Craziness Really Does Have Republicans Worried...And They Should Be. It's about time ya'll went to war on this one. Polls (and results) have shown that 1) Democrats are giving more to their candidates than Republicans and 2) Democrats seem more supportive about their overall candidate field than Republicans. Both of these things are very characteristic of winners. They're not very characteristic of Democrats. EXCITING! Could we be learning from our past mistakes?? Probably not. 8 years of Bush (and a very noticeable Kerry defeat) just angers the shit out of us.
Although I don't know. I mean, for all the juice that Democrats seem to be getting, these Ron Paul supporters seem the most...uh...amped. Two of them actually commented on my blog. And uh...I have a nowhere, no-worth blog. I barely get hits, other than myself, and my mother. And suddenly I get slapped around for quoting the Daily Kos. Scary. But exciting! So I'm going to do it again!
RON PAUL CAN...GO...UH...FUCK...HIMSELF? THAT BAD BAD BAD MAN!! YEE!
