Cynical Streak

Vote or Die

May 12th, 2006

Well, the best American Idol contestent, by far, got kicked off the show. Why? Because cool people don’t vote. What about overweight mid-western church goers with American flags embroidered on their jumpers?

Oh, they vote all right, for dorks like Katharine McPhee. These are the wishy washy non-thinkers who line up to buy the latest Disney movie soundtrack album, which is exactly the kind of dreck that McPhee will record. These dopes also settle for mediocrity when voting for President. We elect the average Joe who we’d like to have a beer with.

The one time George Bush flashed a little edge during the debates with John Kerry, his supporters recoiled.

The Washington Post agrees with me, too.

“The departure of rocker Chris Daughtry from “American Idol” means that the squishy middle has won once again. Daughtry was voted off the show this week, leaving behind three uninspired performers who may appeal to the masses but lack any distinctive personal style.”

All this reminds me of rapper/bad dancer Sean Combs’ campaign to get black folks out to vote by sporting “Vote or Die” t-shirts. Now more than ever, Puffy has a point. The conservatives are mobilizing to shread our Constitution as we speak. Vote or Die is true now more than ever: just ask the thousand bloated corpses floating around New Orleans.
