Do You Think USA Today Takes Request on Their Pie Charts?
I'll be honest. I'm a little jealous that Pat Robertson doesn't pray for my assassination. Is that too much to ask for? Just to be noticed, Pat? I mean, you never return my calls or emails. I really miss our special times together. You know, all the backrubs, uncomfortable silences and decrees of eternal damnation. Ahhh, good times.
In all seriousness though, I am enjoying Robertson's quasi-meltdown and the subsequent Republican backpedaling. I just love me a good backpedal.
However, I'm not here to throw stones at the conservatives. Just wanted to discuss something that Pat Robertson's comments brought to mind.
You see, no matter what political ideology you subscribe to or party label you like to figuratively adhere to yourself, some of the people that agree with you will be crazy folk, utter tunes of the Looney variety. These people are everywhere and support a wide variety of causes and political philosophies.
Ponder this, if you made pie charts, one for liberals in America and another for conservatives, breaking up those that had psychological issues and those who didn't, you would probably find the percentages to be pretty much equal. It's just you are more prone to hear about something wacky shit the liberals are up to rather than the crazy notions of the conservatives.
And there is a good reason for that.
Liberals are just plum crazy in more various ways than conservatives. Hell, we got lunatics that want to rewrite the calendar (some that want a eight day week and others that want a 13 month year), feminists that want to melt down all the Barbies & make one anatomically correct, gigantic statue saluting fat chicks everywhere, speed freaks that are upset they can't get their meth inside the 7-11 rather than in the parking lot and always one freak with an anal probe fixation. And that's only the ones in the House of Representatives, the Senate is even worse. (Kidding)
And liberals, by their very definition, need to be accepting of their various whackos. We can't turn them away. It's in our creed or something. Conservatives, on the other hand, try to keep their insane in the closet (along with their homosexuals) but every so often one gets by them. However, when we encounter one of their emotionally imbalanced, they always seem to be crazy in the same way.
They always seem to be building some time machine to get everyone back to an idyllic time that never existed in the first place; some Norman Rockwell painting saluting Whitey and his utopian, nuclear family as they slay the gangster rapper and his white hos. (And by "slay", I really mean, "use as cheap labor".)
Then again, I could be wrong. I get all caught up in my pie chart fixation and I forget.
