I must be on crack ...

Watching the news while writing, and the US election coverage is taking up a lot of airtime. I was astonished that the writer of the "Barak Obama, too radical, too risky" advert managed to stop before he or she added "too black". But that wasn't the scariest. I could well be on drugs, but it looked for all the world to me as though Sarah Palin has popped her Down Syndrome littlest into a Dumbo the elephant outfit.

Sarah! 8/10 for cuteness, but minus several million for tact!

I wish that Arnie hadn't been born in Austria, though. McCain/Schwarzenegger would have been a MUCH better ticket.

The quote I heard from a work colleague the other day that nearly made me cough my tea up all over computer screen was something along the following line, he heard on the some hick in the U.S. being interviewed on the radio, it really is qutie disturbing.

"When he was sworn into the senate he took his oath on the Koran, and he wants to take away all our guns so his friends can invade"

(in this case one assume said hick was referring to Muslims)

What, you think she shouldn't mock the plight of elephants in Africa?

I'm really annoyed with this election. I wish I could just vote and have it be done with! XD

McCain, sadly, is supported by a LOT of ignorant racist bastards. There's that infamous old lady who said that she's afraid of Obama because 'he's an Arab'. And everyone knows about the Muslim slurs.

One day I sat and thought to myself "So what?". Why does being a Muslim automatically make you a horrible person? Obama isn't any of those things, but so what if he was? He's still the better choice, in my opinion, than the decrepit warmonger and the lady who counts herself an expert in international affairs because she can supposedly see Russia from her house.

asdfjkl; I wish I could vote. This election is so depressing; McCain won in my AP US history class, despite the fact that it's mostly democrats.

It's a feeling shared by most Austrians, trust me. Especially when he keeps retelling the tearful story of how he fled our socialist hell of a country when he actually emigrated at a time when Austria had a conservative government. It's great fun to watch our current conservatives trying to cope with this little inconsistency in the Governator Myth ;))
