Lickable Politics
Posted by Daniel Lyons Thu, 14 Sep 2006 01:12:30 GMT
Since most people vote based on color, by which I mean “red” or “blue,” I hereby suggest the creation of a newer, more lickable political party: the light blue party. Light blue is about appearances, not complex subtle things like voting records, results and “philosophy.” Light blue is about being cocksure and playful, arrogant even, with no forehead scratching, political conventions conventions or pandering to the minorities. Hell: light blue isn’t even about pandering to majorities. Light blue is about being a man, not a stuffy word-counting prissy with a million in the bank, a cheap suit and a speechwriter.
Light blue says: it’s your life, screw it up any way you want. Just be stylish while you do it.
Light blue says: the flag is so Web-1.0 it hurts.
Light blue says: why vote when you can stay at home and see the same results?
Light blue says: if you’re no good at your job, you can always run for office.
So tell your friends there’s a new party in town, and it’s the Ajaxiest party yet.
