Election Fever!
Seems that everyone’s talking about this election-thing in their ‘blogs, so I might as well put my perspective out there. I can’t wait to get it over, regardless of who wins, because this place is driving me nuts. I consider myself a moderate independent, slightly right of center, if anything – hell, I voted for a number of Libertarians on the state ballot! But around here I’m the flaming liberal – they call me (among other things) “treehugger”. Simon is wearing a “W” sheriff’s badge today. Last week he was handing out Republican bumper stickers. Other managers bombard me Republican propaganda, hoping to elicit a passionate rebuttal to snicker at.
If there’s anyone else who’s voting for Kerry I don’t know who they are – they’re keeping their heads down to avoid ridicule. I’m not kidding – talk about hostile work environment! There are tons of savory sound-bites coming out today, but my favorite show of ignorance sounded something like this:
“The Democrats will probably win. They’ll have better turnout; they’re all unemployed, and it’s the first of the month, just got their checks, so they’ll all be out of the house today spending my money!!!”
Seriously, I just quite trying to reason, it's like trying to fill the grand canyon with a teaspoon.
UPDATE:
OK, someone just fried up a mess of coconut prawns in the test kitchen and brought them downstairs for us to try and Simon let this one fly:
"You stand back from the coconut prawns Big-Boy! (See the 7/13/04 post on the Big-Boy) It’s OK if the Tree-hugger wants one, because he’s not a hypocrite – you took the child tax credit it and spent it on pornography! You’re just like Kerry, but when you flip-flop the whole world shakes!!! You must think these are Democrat prawns – you’re always looking for a handout! Well, you step back! These are Republican prawns! Step back!"
You can be sure, regardless of who wins the presidential race, there will be an update coming on election-related Simonisms. It ought to be rich. Stay tuned!
