166 short and bitter


Last night I watched a few minutes of dear leader's nomination acceptance speech. It was painfully obvious he was reading off a teleprompter, looking first one way and then the next. Obama did this all the time, too, and dear leader was doing his best to copy the style. But as he struggled with the words, it was pretty clear he'd never seen the speech before, and really didn't give a shit what he was saying, and why should I? So I fast-forwarded 70 minutes to the end, and it was more of the same, mispronounced platitudes, side to side turning his head and spraying bullshit that he will never remember saying. 

He looked old and tired. Reading a script is clearly part of the job he does not enjoy. But somehow, that performance, barely adequate for the mean principal's morning school announcements in a bad teenage comedy, is enough to get him re-elected.

Joy to the world.
