The State of Things

Sorry it’s been a million years since I blogged — I’ve been working on a film treatment, redesigning a Web site at work, and even finding time to play Grand Theft Auto IV. But I’m procrastinating fiercely at the moment, so I’m taking the time.

I am sorely depressed about the election. I used to read political news all day long at work as it dripped into me via an RSS reader, but now I mostly ignore it. I am convinced now that Obama is toast — it’s like all the people in American who didn’t want him to be President found their excuse with Reverand Wright, so all they do is blah blah blah on and on and about it in the media to the point that the words Obama, Reverend and Wright all blend together and form one pastiche of a human being. One would think that Obama and Wright are the same person, or that Wright is running for office. It’s insane.

George W. Bush was never held to account for any of his dubious associations, nor has Hillary Clinton. There’s a double standard at play here — a standard that only applies to Barack Obama.

So anyway, that’s why I’ve been avoiding the election.

GTA IV is awesome, by the way.
