Three Choices
It seems like people are only allowed to talk about three things these days. Lost, the Superbowl, or politics.
I am no Pat Stack, but want to talk about politics anyway. So here we go. Green style.
Hey guys, did you know Alec Baldwin is from Long Island? Oh my god, me too! Okay, but you guys, did you know he writes for the Huffington Post, made famous to me by Opinionistas?
Well, but did you know he can actually write? I mean, he makes interesting and intelligent points and everything. No really, he does. For example?
Okay, for example, this guy wrote this bitchy piece out in the Hamptons about Barack. Then, there was such an uproar, that the paper pulled the article, and issued an apology. So Alec, who I think we all know, has a bit of a temper (selfish pig, anyone) put the article into his column so anyone who'd missed it would see it again. Not only that, but he explains why people should see it.
It makes me like Alec Baldwin, to be honest. I had no feelings either way about him until I read this. I respect intelligence. I agree that people should see it. Not because it's funny, which is it, though the humor is dilluted by the cruelness of it for me. But they should see what that writer wrote. This is a guy who writes for a living. If he wrote that Obama had one child instead of two, he should be allowed to apologize and pull that information and change it. But if you're an asshole, and you're an adult, you should not be allowed to wipe that away. Adults don't get to make such huge "mistakes." Well they do apparently, but it seems Alec and I agree that shouldn't be allowed.

Seeing that that's the kind of shit my in-laws like to forward via email, say, and think... I think I am starting to like Alec a little bit again.
Believe it or not, the crap that these so-called adult Republicans (the hardcore ones) send to each other is pretty much on the same, if not worse, level as that article Alec talks about. Oh, yeah, they do call Obama "Bin Barak" - seriously. These are 60+, 70+ year olds. Jackasses.
Smart is sexy.
