Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert: Mock the Vote
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert: Mock the Vote:
I keep hearing that [Sarah Palin]‘s “like us.” There’s this idea that people who hunt and have “good” values are somehow this mythological American; I don’t know who “this” person is, I’ve never met them. She is no more typical “us” than I am, than Obama is, than McCain is, than Mr. T is. If there is something quintessentially or authentically American about her, I sort of feel like, you know what? You “good values people” have had the country for eight years, and done an unbelievably s—-ty job. Let’s find some bad values people and give them a shot, maybe they’ll have a better take on it.
What Is This Place?
Opus is a website masquerading as a blog masquerading as a webzine. It’s where I (Jason Morehead) write about music, movies, art, web design, religion and whatever else interests me at the time (Read More).

Commenting is not available in this weblog entry.Truer words have never been spoken.
Careful what you wish for?
I want to be way more impressed with Palin than I actually am. I wish McCain was as calm and collected when addressing an audience as Obama. There are a multitude of things I wish were better about the Republican ticket this year, and the party in general. But the simple fact remains, I disagree with the democratic nominee on almost all the issues. I can’t vote for that.
I live in Tennessee and work in an industrial town of 6,000 people (no movie theater and the police department opens at noon.) There are thousands of Palin-esque people in this country, let me guarantee you. They’re all about God ‘n country and making sure a Muslim isn’t President. (their words, not mine.)
