Election Fallout Fun
McBlogger was to post this last week, however, HE saw fit to wait. So, I'm doing it. Most of you know I'm in Northeast Texas near Dallas. This is a letter I sent McBlogger the day after the election...
Yes, I am trying to keep my mouth shut today, and focus on the inner peace that winning brings. Already today I have witnessed every person I work with, save Lydia, audibly query whether pondering Obama's assassination makes you a bad person. Like it is really a question of whether you should want that. For real. Shellie stated that McCain won the popular vote until my search on yahoo corrected her. She said that she is completely floored by that. In fact, she also said that the only thing keeping her from opening a vein is that once somebody shoots Obama, then we will have Biden, whom she said was 'okay'.
Lunch was spent likening Obama to Lenin, Hitler, and Castro. When I informed them that his victory has been attributed to college educated white voters, Ted said that they did not take history. Ted stated that Obama is just like the "sand niggers that we are fighting overseas". The word nigger is very popular today. Doreen said that they just don't know. That they are voting in the now and not looking to the future. Of course she finds it plausible that Obama might be the antichrist. Oh, and socialist. I almost asked her what she thought a socialist was, but I thought it would turn ugly.
Sorry, just had to vent a little. I know I should just feel sorry for them. I mean, really, they loved Sarah Palin. Like, no joke. It just gets a little tough to take at times. Sad to say, but I was actually somewhat relieved when Shellie moved the conversation to an alarmingly cruel story involving her, Jack In The Box, and a short bus full of special needs children in helmets. Yeah, it was getting that bad. I think I am going to stay in my office this afternoon.
There you have it, a view from a county where the population is fighting common sense and what's best for the nation tooth and fucking nail.

You've captured those small town values quite nicely.
