There is nothing that will make me smile faster than the screechy ranting of an angry feminist (is there any other kind?).
But now there are two and we're facing Pennsylvania and whom are we kidding? This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women. And when I say people, I don't mean people, I mean white men. How ironic is this? After all this time, after all these stupid articles about how powerless white men are and how they can't even get into college because of overachieving women and affirmative action and mean lady teachers who expected them to sit still in the third grade even though they were all suffering from terminal attention deficit disorder -- after all this, they turn out (surprise!) to have all the power. (As they always did, by the way; I hope you didn't believe any of those articles.)
To put it bluntly, the next president will be elected by them: the outcome of Tuesday's primary will depend on whether they go for Hillary or Obama, and the outcome of the general election will depend on whether enough of them vote for McCain. A lot of them will: white men cannot be relied on, as all of us know who have spent a lifetime dating them. And McCain is a compelling candidate, particularly because of the Torture Thing. As for the Democratic hope that McCain's temper will be a problem, don't bet on it. A lot of white men have terrible tempers, and what's more, they think it's normal.
White men. Pasty, uni-cultural, testosterone-soaked louts. We are going to elect the next President, and it forces an uncontrollable big-ol SEG on my face.
When I heard the term "white men", all I could think of was the old Saturday Night Live skit with I believe it was Dan Aykroyd and Steve Martin (the whitest white guy I can imagine) rapping:
We're white guys
and we take no crap
when we deliver our
white rap!
McCain appeals to men. Well, more than the man-wannabe, Hillary Clinton or the metrosexual Barack Obama. He's been in the military. He shoots guns. He was shot down, captured and tortured. All of his bones were broken and he still told his captors that he wanted to be the last to leave.
No privileged sissy-boy, he.
He suffered for our freedom, and he believes we ought to exercise it by taking responsibility for our own destinies and reaping the rewards or penalties of our actions. He believes we ought to buy our own damn health insurance instead of the wide-screen HDTV, and if we make a bad deal on a house, we might just lose it.
There are some issues about John McCain that I disagree with, but on average, he's a satisfactory candidate for me (and is positively extraordinary when compared with the hash that the Democrats are slinging).
So I think I'm going to be going into the voting booth this November and as I pull the lever for McCain with my strong left hand, I'm going to be extending a stiff middle finger on my right toward the Huffington Compost and their whiny, nasty gaggle of liberal crybabies.
