Shut up Adam McKay
Sep/080
I hate when celebrities talk politics. Not because they are all so liberal that it’s ridiculous, but because everything they say is completely over the top and they rarely seem to know what their talking about. Like Adam McKay’s article in the Huffington Post where he has the gall to talk about the media favoring McCain over Obama (The Onion said it best: Top Story On John McCain Run Out Of Obligation.)
This is it folks. If McCain takes power we fade and become Australia in the seventies: a backwoods country with occasional flashes of relevance. Except we’ve got a way bigger military and we’re angrier. People will get hurt and we’ll pay the bill for the bullets. I’m telling you, unless we wake up, we’re gonna lose this frickin’ thing.
I love Adam McKay’s movies and when (if) I finish my comedy screenplay he is a producer I would DIE to have for it, but please just shut up. It’s America, we’ll always be relevant. At this point both candidates are a step up from the Bush-Cheney administration in my opinion, but according to any liberal you speak to McCain is just a Bush clone and electing him means Bush’s reign will continue forever while Obama will literally save the world. The whole thing reminds me of this awesome quote from Al’s Ramblings, one of my favorite blogs.
On a side note, I was just thinking yesterday how disappointed many people are going to be on the day after President Bush leaves office, no matter who wins…I can just hear many of them saying, “Gee, the streets aren’t paved with gold, I wonder why?”
