So, some of you may remember my rant about Facebook a few months ago. ALL OF THAT STILL HOLDS TRUE. Me and Facebook? Totally not biffles. But despite all that, I decided to take a break from my rigorous schedule of watching Under the Tuscan Sun (which is pretty much my FAVORITE MOVIE EVER DON’T H8) and pizza eating to log into the ole Facebook and take a gander at what my friends* had been up to this weekend. What I was faced with, however, was frightening, and concerning.
I mean, at first it was like a usual stroll down my news feed: Kirsten and Dee became friends. Yay for them. Natalie became a supporter of Obama/Biden. COOL. SUPER GLAD.
Tracy and Stacey have rhyming names. THAT’S GREAT. Morgan and Faustine are two people that I don’t know and have never met at all so I don’t really know why Faustine is on my list at all but whatever. Great for them. Alex became a supporter of Barack Obama, that’s AWESOME! Very proud of him.
BUT THEN! I saw something unexpected, and VERY puzzling:
TRAVIS AND RACHEL ARE FRIENDS? WHAT? WHY!?!?!
Oh, I’m just joshin. I don’t care about Travis OR Rachel. However, I do care about the fact that apparently someone on my friends list is a supporter of…. JOHN MCCAIN?!!? WWWWWHHHHAT?!
I’m.. .. I’m just speechless. I’m staring at my blog screen right now and I don’t even know what to say. Especially after the hilarity that was this weekend in terms of political news, I can’t understand why anyone would support John McCain at all, let alone BROADCAST IT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE ON A SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE!
It’s like that time that you were at a birthday party and you accidentally sat on a cupcake and got frosting all over your butt, but instead of hiding your butt with a sweater like I did… I MEAN LIKE.. SOMEONE DID, you go around screaming through the party: “HEY GUYS LOOKIT I’VE GOT FROSTING ON MY BUTT LOLOLLLL ISN’T THAT FANTASTIC? FROSTING… ON MY BUTT!!!” Who does that? No one cool. No one cool does that, okay?
In real life, John McCain is that frosting. And that butt… is your head! So WHO really wants to advertise the fact that they are a buttheaded McCain supporter? I mean GET REAL.
So now I’m faced with a dilemma. I have options here. I alwaaaaays have options. I could:
- Stomp off to Lauren’s profile and say HEY STUPID. DON’T DO THAT.
- Delete her off my friends list.
- Ignore this ridiculousness and go on about my day.
- Write a passive-aggressive status message.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!!? Well, I haven’t decided just yet. But until I decide, I’m gonna sit here and watch friggen RICK SANCHEZ!?!?!??! covering Hurricane Gustav on CNN. GO RICKY, GO.
* – friends in this instance means: people I have not spoken to in upwards of five years, yet on whom I still need to keep tabs, for some ridiculous and inexplicable reason.








This is a test.
As a Brit, I can’t quite understand why anyone is standing up for McCain?!
It must be like stcking your leg out to bring down a freight train, going up against Obama?!
Seriously, trust me, the world is rooting for Obama.
hahahaha I love this post! Sooo funny!
Suicidal Goldfish — It’s great to hear that, and that’s not the first time I’ve heard that the WORLD is rooting for him. I can believe it! Our relations with the rest of the world at this point are deteriorating more every day and I pray that soon we’ll have a leader who will work hard to fix the mess this country is in. :C
Katrina — thank you!
