So Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman have come out against the turmoil of the world caused by evil President Bush, er, Lex Luthor, in an recent DC comic, and the right is calling it leftist propaganda. And so the name-calling continues.
The religious right could call down a plague of locust on DC Comics, but that just wouldn’t be the Christian thing to do. Besides locusts being insects are natural born environmentalists who enjoy life in the great outdoors as opposed to the Oval office, and don’t support anything not good for the locust.
Meanwhile in the hovel of Bobby Homosexual, all that is desired is peace. I don’t want a president who is faster than a speeding bullet when deciding to go into a war, or who is about to tell tall lies in a single breath when faced with a press conference. No I just want a president who claims to stand for truth and justice, and actually means it.
Notice I left out the American way? I did that because I think the American way needs some fine-tuning to include all citizens equally in the eyes of the law, and that can’t happen until we accept everyone as they are and stop trying to control people through archaic laws that oppress freedom to openly love and share a life with someone of the same-sex.
So while Bobby Homosexual struggles with the daily grind to earn enough to keep a hovel over his head, and the head of the stock exchange earns enough to keep several hovels over his head, the politicians begin the arduous task of a year long name calling session all in the name of doing what is right for the American people. Well, at least for the people who agree with their respective platforms.
I’m tired of the lies and the political grandstanding. My kingdom for an honest politician!
Zap! Bam! Pow!
Um, nope. No honest politician, but a few moves to pressure the keepers of truth to loosen up the reigns a little and let truth and honesty prevail. Sure it’s my own style of grandstanding, but I’m not a superhero. Okay so I am Homosexual Man, that doesn’t exactly give me super powers to cause politicians to tell the truth. Although a lasso of truth might come in handy on a date, and have a multitude of uses.
So while the political pre-season is coming to an end, the full out mudslinging is about to begin. I would suggest sit back, in a nice comfy chair, with a supply of popcorn, and wait for the first real mud ball to be slung. There is only so much mud in the universe to toss at G.W., but the real fun will be watching the democrats tactfully trash each other to get the party nomination.
Personally I’m holding out for Hillary Clinton to toss her hat into the ring. Sure Howard Dean is almost one hundred percent pro-gay, but only Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson came out in favor of same-sex marriage, and even if Hillary’s husband did sign that Defense Of Marriage Act, he blew his credibility when he got blown in the Oval Office. He believes in marriage the same way Elizabeth Taylor and Zaa Zaa Gabor believe in marriage. It’s a wonderful thing to do as often as possible, and the only vows you don’t break are to the gossip columnists and your accountants.
So consider this a heads up call. Superheroes may take on Lex Luthor, but it’ll be up to mere mortals to deal with the likes of G.W. and the religious right in 2004.
