“I’ll throw an insurgent’s face straight into the turnbuckle!!!”

To say I have not been writing alot on this blog would be a huge understatement. What can I say? It has been gorgeous out in New York, and the time I would have spent surfing the net looking for current events malarkey to make fun of, has been spent outdoors. I did some awesome hiking and even some camping…felt good to be outside.

However, something came up that demanded I address it here on my little corner of the internet. Last night, all three of the presidential candidates appeared on WWE’s Monday Night Raw. Here is McCain’s video which I personally found to be just as uncomfortable as listening to him speak on his plans for well, just about anything. My god…here is my favorite quote, from his amazing speech:

“And Whatcha’ gonna do when John McCain and all his McC-ainiacs run wild on ya?” – John McCain (A candidate for the presidency of the United States)

My answer Senator: When the McC-ainiacs run “wild” on me? I think a mid-tempo jog for about 150 yards should do the trick. Make sure to have the campaign physician and the inhaler on hand for that little scuffle. Don’t get me wrong I respect him as a war hero and that is something that will never change seeing as my father fought in the same war. I just find it kind of sad seeing Senator McCain trying to keep up with two younger and more “appealing” ::cringe:: candidates in a race that is more and more about appealing to young voters.

Other highlights from the candidates WWE appearences include Hilary’s request to be refered to as “Hil-Rod”.

Not to mention, an appearance by Senator Obama: “Do ya smell what Barack is cookin’? Is it pot roast? Empanadas? Finance reform?

WWE? Really? I understand that not everyone is interested in the same things as me, but wrestling is something I could never understand the appeal of, especially in its form nowadays. I do know that next to NFL football is the one of the most watched television “sports” events every week. Two of my band mates love wrestling and actually take part in a regional wrestling “league”, I guess is the best term. I don’t understand their obsession with it, but I support them in their hobby and try to seem somewhat interested when they bring it up. But anyway…

As easy as it is to see Barack reading off a cue card, he sells it so much better than the other two. He seems like a chill dude…but that’s what a lot of people felt about someone else when they were campaigning for the presidency. Not that I feel Obama is capable of causing as much harm as the latter example has,( noone can really), but is he up to the task of trying to stop the bleeding?

As I have said before, it is upsetting to see how appearance and public persona so easily overshadow what will happen when one of these candidates puts their right hand on the bible, and is sworn in to lead our country in what is undoubtedly one of the most crucial periods we have ever faced.

Thanks for reading.
