The Intersection Of Sarcasm & Dismay

At last!

The time for white males to have a political voice is finally here! For the first time in American history, white males will have the opportunity to influence a presidential election (well, if you don't count the time when no one BUT white males could actually vote, but that's not really important)!

I'm so glad that we're finally getting ours. The agenda and ideals of white males have been held down for way too long --but no more! Get ready to meet the new boss, America! White men are ready for their turn at the top of the social pyramid, neglect us no more! We call the shots now!

Free at last! Free at last!

I think that presidential elections are held every four years because it is the exact amount of time it takes an intelligent person to forget how insulting the whole process is for exactly 5 minutes before it starts all over again and whatever hope for humanity remains is lost once more.

I'm also beginning to think that as long as everyone has the right to vote, we don't deserve good representation in government. It's the same old story, ignorant voters beget ignorant government. Some would take it a step further and say that ignorant government begets ignorant policy which begets ignorant voters, but that's a whole other blog.

Oh, and is it just me, but is the notion of two millionaire senators calling another millionaire senator an "elitist" a bit ridiculous?

That's like the pot AND the cast iron stove calling the kettle black.
